A polythene rod may be charged by rubbing it with a cloth while being held in the hand but a metal rod cannot be charged in a si

Physics
1 answer:
Kamila [148]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

This is because polythene rod is an insulator , therefore when it is rubbed with a cloth , electrons move easily therefore making it charged but

Metal rod is a conductor, it conduct heat . Therefore, their atoms have electrons that is constantly in motion. Therefore rubbing it with a cloth will make any difference in making it charged because it have very huge number of stable electrons which will not allow more electrons to move through them.

A truck of mass 200kg rests on an inclined plane hindered from rolling down the surface by a storing sprint whose force constant
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

1.92 J

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (m) = 200 Kg

Spring constant (K) = 10⁶ N/m

Workdone =?

Next, we shall determine the force exerted on the spring. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 200 Kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Force (F) =?

F = m × g

F = 200 × 9.8

F = 1960 N

Next we shall determine the extent to which the spring stretches. This can be obtained as follow:

Spring constant (K) = 10⁶ N/m

Force (F) = 1960 N

Extention (e) =?

F = Ke

1960 = 10⁶ × e

Divide both side by 10⁶

e = 1960 / 10⁶

e = 0.00196 m

Finally, we shall determine energy (Workdone) on the spring as follow:

Spring constant (K) = 10⁶ N/m

Extention (e) = 0.00196 m

Energy (E) =?

E = ½Ke²

E = ½ × 10⁶ × (0.00196)²

E = 1.92 J

Therefore, the Workdone on the spring is 1.92 J

Explain a police role, and how important it is. also you can explain a mayor's role and how important it is...

A police's role in the community is to protect us and make sure that everyone is following the rules. it is important for a police to be there so we can be safe. Their status is fair enough. Another Example is a mayor. a mayor's job is to improve the city/ the community. His status is high. There are many people around us that help us, each with a different status.

A vessel with an unknown volume is filled with 10 kg of water at 90oC. Inspection of the vessel at equilibrium shows that 8 kg o
damaskus [11]

Hey there!

In this case, it is possible to solve this problem by using the widely-known steam tables which show that at 90 °C, the pressure that produces a vapor-liquid mixture at equilibrium is about 70.183 kPa (Cengel, Thermodynamics 5th edition).

Moreover, for the calculation of the volume, it is necessary to calculate the volume of the vapor-liquid mixture, given the quality (x) it has:

x=\frac{m_{steam}}{m_{total}}

Thus, since 8 kg correspond to liquid water, 2 kg must correspond to steam, so that the quality turns out:

x=\frac{2kg}{10kg} =0.20

Now, at this temperature and pressure, the volume of a saturated vapor is  2.3593 m³/kg whereas that of the saturated liquid is 0.001036 m³/kg and therefore, the volume of the mixture is:

v=0.001036m^3/kg+0.2(2.3593-0.001036 )m^3/kg=0.4727m^3/kg

This means that the volume of the container will be:

V=10kg*0.4727m^3/kg\\\\V=4.73m^3

Regards!
