Rubbing both pieces cause each piece to have a negative charge.
When two parts have the same they repel each other, so holding one piece up tot he end of the other piece would push it away.
Because one piece is held in the middle by a string, it would rotate the piece in a circle.
If they held the piece to the other end of the one held by a string it would start to rotate in the opposite direction.
Answer:
Work is the energy transferred to or from an object via the application of force along a displacement.
The first scientist to introduce the concept of inertia was Galileo
Start with 2,000 grams.
After 1 half-life, 1,000 grams are left.
After another half-life, 500 are left.
After another half-life, 250 are left.
After another half-life, 125 are left.
That was FOUR half-lifes.
X = 4 .
Answer:
- Direct current is a current in which electrons flow in one direction only
- Alternating current is a current in which the direction of the electron flow reverses periodically - so, half a cycle forward, half a cycle backward
There are several advantages of using alternating currents for the transmission of electricity across a country, over large distances. The main advantages are:
- The voltage of alternating currents can be easily increased/decreased by using transformers. For instance, a transformer is used at the beginning of the transmission line to increase the voltage (electricity is transmitted at high voltage in order to reduce dissipated power), and then another transformer is used before the electricity enters the houses, in order to decrease the voltage. Transformers only work with alternating currents.
- It is easy to interrupt the flow of an alternating current, because its value naturally becomes zero every half a cycle, so this is useful in case the current must be interrupted.
