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.

Una prenda de 320gramos de ropa gira en el interior de una lavadora si dicha lavadora tiene 40 cm y gira con una frecuencia de 4
Nitella [24]

Answer:

Período del tambor: T = 0.25\,s, fuerza sobre la prenda: F \approx 80.852\,N, velocidad lineal del tambor: v \approx 10.053\,\frac{m}{s}, velocidad angular del tambor: \omega \approx 25.133\,\frac{rad}{s}.

Explanation:

La expresión tiene un error por omisión, su forma correcta queda descrita a continuación:

<em>"Una prenda de 320 gramos de ropa gira en el interior de una lavadora si dicha lavadora tiene un radio de 40 centímetros y gira con una frecuencia de 4 hertz. Halle </em><em>a)</em><em> el período, </em><em>b) </em><em>la velocidad angular, </em><em>c) </em><em>la fuerza con la que gira la prenda y </em><em>d) </em><em>la velocidad lineal de la lavadora."</em>

El tambor gira a velocidad angular constante (\omega), en radianes por segundo, lo cual significa que la prenda experimenta una aceleración centrífuga (a), en metros por segundo al cuadrado. En primer lugar, calculamos el período de rotación del tambor (T), en segundos:

T = \frac{1}{f} (1)

Donde f es la frecuencia, en hertz.

(f = 4\,hz)

T = \frac{1}{4\,hz}

T = 0.25\,s

Ahora determinamos la fuerza aplicada sobre la prenda (F), en newtons:

F = m\cdot a (2)

F = \frac{4\pi^{2}\cdot m \cdot r}{T^{2}} (2b)

Donde:

m - Masa de la prenda, en kilogramos.

r - Radio interior del tambor, en metros.

(m = 0.32\,kg, r = 0.4\,m, T = 0.25\,s)

F = \frac{4\pi^{2}\cdot (0.32\,kg)\cdot (0.4\,m)}{(0.25\,s)^{2}}

F \approx 80.852\,N

La velocidad lineal de la lavadora es:

v = \frac{2\pi\cdot r}{T} (3)

(r = 0.4\,m, T = 0.25\,s)

v = \frac{2\pi\cdot (0.4\,m)}{0.25\,s}

v \approx 10.053\,\frac{m}{s}

Y la velocidad angular del tambor de la lavadora:

\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}

(T = 0.25\,s)

\omega = \frac{2\pi}{0.25\,s}

\omega \approx 25.133\,\frac{rad}{s}

Increasing which two things would increase gravitational potential energy?
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

Mass and height

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field. The most common use of gravitational potential energy is for an object near the surface of the Earth where the gravitational acceleration can be assumed to be constant at about 9.8 m/s2.

Which is represented as;

PE_g=mgh

PE_g stands for gravitational potantial energy,

m stands for mass of object,

g is the gravitational constant and

h is the height.

Here we see that mass of object and height is directly proportional to the gravitational potential energy.

That means increasing in mass and height will result in increasing gravitational potential energy.

Explain why the atomic mass of an element is weighted average mass
madreJ [45]

Explanation:

The mass written on the periodic table is an average atomic mass taken from all known isotopes of an element. This average is a weighted average, meaning the isotope's relative abundance changes its impact on the final average. The reason this is done is because there is no set mass for an element.

The study and analysis of light according to its component wavelengths is called
BARSIC [14]

ANSWER:

The study and analysis of light according to its component wavelengths is called spectroscopy.

EXPLANATION:

Spectroscopy is the branch of science  that is concerned with the investigation and measurement of spectrum produced when matter interacts with or emits electromagnetic radiation.It helps us to identify atoms and molecules in the object.Spectroscopy is used to find out Dopplers effect (the red shift and blue shift),which tells how fast the object is comming towards earth or moving away from the earth.
