A positively charged object is brought near but not in contact with the top of an uncharged gold leaf electroscope. The experime
Olin [163]

Answer:

The leaves of the electroscope move further apart.

Explanation:

This is what happens; when the positive object is brought near the top, negative charges migrating from the gold leaves to the top. This is because the negative charges in the gold are attracted by the positive charge. Thus, it leaves behind a net positive charge on the leaves, though the scope remains neutral overall. To that effect, the leaves repel each other and move apart. If a finger touches the top of the electroscope at the moment when the positive object remains near the top, it basically grounds the electroscope and thus the net positive charge in the leaves flows to the ground through the finger. However, the positive object continues to "hold" negative charges in place at the top. Ar this moment the gold leaves have lost their net positive charge, so they no longer repel, and they move closer together. If the positive object is moved away, the negative charges at the top are no longer attracted to the top, and they redistribute themselves throughout the electroscope, moving into the leaves and charging them negatively.

Thus, the leaves move apart from each other again and we now have a negatively charged electroscope. If a negatively charged object is now brought close to the top, but without touching, the negative charges already in the electroscope will be repelled down toward the leaves, thereby making them more negative, causing them to repel more, and hence move even further apart.

So, the leaves move further apart.

A 81 kg person sits on a 3.8 kg chair. Each leg of the chair makes contact with the floor in a circle that is 1.2 cm in diameter
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

1.9 MPa

Explanation:

Mass of person = 81 kg

Mass of chair = 3.8 kg

Diameter of contact point = 1.2 cm = D

Radius of contact point = 1.2/2 = 0.6 cm

Total mass of chair and person = 81 + 3.8 = 84.8 kg = M

Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Force acting on the floor

<em>F = Mg</em>

<em>⇒F = 84.8×9.81</em>

<em>⇒F = 831.888 N</em>

Area of the contact point

<em>A = πR²</em>

<em>⇒A = π0.006²</em>

<em>⇒A = π0.000036 m²</em>

Area of the four points is

<em>4A = 0.000144π m²</em>

Pressure

p=\frac{F}{A}\\\Rightarrow p=\frac{831.888}{0.000144\pi}\\\Rightarrow p=1838876.21\ Pa=1.83887621\times 10^6\ Pa=1.9 MPa

Pressure exerted on the floor by each leg of the chair is 1.9 MPa

How could two waves on a rope interfere so the rope does not move at all?
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

If a crest formed by one wave interferes with a trough formed by the other wave then the rope will not move at all.

Explanation:

Assume a straight rope tied to both ends is at rest. When a wave is created at one end of the rope, it travels to the other end of the rope through formation of alternative crest and trough. Due to these crest and trough the rope shifts up and down.

But when there are two waves travelling through the rope and both have opposite direction (directed towards one another) in such a way that crest formed by one wave is interfering with the trough formed by the other wave then due to this interference the waves will cancel the effects of each other on the rope and rope will be stable.
