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

milar way. Explain why
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.

Jupiter's moon Io has a radius of 1.82 ✕ 106 m and a measured gravitational field of 1.80 m/s2. What is its mass (in kg)?
AveGali [126]

Answer:

8.94*10^22 kg

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of Lo, M = ?

Radius of Lo, r = 1.82*10^6 m

Acceleration on Lo, g = 1.80 m/s²

Gravitational constant, G = 6.67*10^-11

Using the formula

g = GM/r²

Solution is attached below

Answer is 8.94*10^22 kg

6A certain load and set of slings create a 20-degree angle between the load and each sling leg. Using a spreader for the same li
Otrada [13]

Solution:

The angle between the sling and the load is 20^{\circ}

So the  tension in each sling can be calculated as

Sin \theta = Mg => T = \frac{Mg}{2Sin\theta}

Sin \theta=> \frac{Mg}{2Sin 20^{\circ}}

Where    

M is the mass of the load

The Horizontal reaction on the sling will be inward.

After using the spreader, the new angle between sling and load is 60^{\circ}, the tension in the sling will be  

T= \frac{Mg}{2 Sin 60^{\circ}} = \frac{Mg}{2 Sin 20^{\circ}}

The tension will be same as before in the sling move away through the spreader at an angle more than 90 degree the horizontal force will act opposite and will be outward
