Physics
1 answer:
rosijanka [135]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Electrostatics is a branch of physics that studies electric charges at rest. Since classical physics, it has been known that some materials, such as amber, attract lightweight particles after rubbing. The Greek word for amber, or electron, was thus the source of the word 'electricity'.

Which has a greater force: a semi-truck at rest or a moving bicycle?
Wittaler [7]

Although the semi truck certainly has a larger mass, it is not in motion and therefore does not have any momentum. The bicycle however has both mass and velocity and therefore has the larger momentum of the pair.

If the temperature of an iron sphere is increased A)its density will decrease .B)its volume will decrease. C)its mass will decre
babymother [125]

Answer:

A) Its density will decrease

Explanation:

When an object is heated, its volume increases. This is due to the fact that the particles in the medium vibrate more (if it is a solid) or they move more (if it is a liquid or a gas), therefore they tend to occupy a larger space.

At the same time, the mass of the object does not change, because the mass just represents the amount of matter contained in the object, so it does not increase/decrease at different temperatures.

The density of an object is defined as the ratio between the mass (m) and the volume (V):

d=\frac{m}{V}

We said that the mass remains unchanged while the volume increases: since the density is inversely proportional to the volume, this means that the density decreases.
