Answer: Polarization

Explanation: Polarization is the movement of electrons within a neutral object because of the electric field of a nearby charged object. It occurs without direct contact between the two objects.

For example, electrons in a metal plate can repelled by the negative charges in a plastic rod if the plastic rod is placed near the metal plate. The electrons move away from the plastic rod, thereby causing one side of the metal plate to be positively charged and the other side to become negatively charged.

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

d = 96 meters

Explanation:

a = acceleration

t = time

d = distance

$d = \frac{1}{2} \times a \times {t}^{2}$

$d = \frac{1}{2} \times 3 \times {8}^{2}$

$d = 96$

A pendulum consisting of a 0.5 kg mass tied to a 0.3 m string is set into oscillation at the same moment that a stone is dropped

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

2.72 cycles

Explanation:

First of all, let's find the time that the stone takes to reaches the ground. The stone moves by uniform accelerated motion with constant acceleration g=9.8 m/s^2, and it covers a distance of S=44.1 m, so the time taken is

$S=\frac{1}{2}at^2\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2S}{a}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(44.1m)}{9.8 m/s^2}}=3 s$

The period of the pendulum instead is given by:

$T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{0.3 m}{9.8 m/s^2}}=1.10 s$

Therefore, the number of oscillations that the pendulum goes through before the stone hits the ground is given by the time the stone takes to hit the ground divided by the period of the pendulum:

$N=\frac{t}{T}=\frac{3 s}{1.10 s}=2.72$
