What happens to end a of the rod when the ball approaches it closely this first time is; It is strongly attracted.

<h3>Electrostatics</h3>

I have attached the image of the rod.

We are told that the ball is much closer to the end of the rod than the length of the rod. Thus, if we point down the rod several times, the distance of approach will experience no electric field and as such the charge on end point A of the rod must be comparable in magnitude to the charge on the ball.

This means that their fields will cancel.

Finally, we can conclude that when a charge is brought close to a conductor, the opposite charges will all navigate to the point that is closest to the charge and as a result, a strong attraction will be created.

This also applies to a strong conducting rod and therefore it is strongly attracted.

Answer:

The correct answer is - c.  Spaceship will have a velocity to the East and will be slowing down.

Explanation:

In this case, if turned on thruster #2 then it will exert force on the west side as thruster 2 is on the east side and it can be understood by Newton's third law that says each action has the same but opposite reaction.

As the spaceship engine applies force on the east side then according to the law the exhauster gas applies on towards west direction. It will try to decrease the velocity of the spaceship however, the direction of floating still be east side initally.

Which of these atoms is the most electronegative? select one: a. si b. cl c. p d. f e. c
katrin [286]

The atom that is the most electronegative is fluorine (F).

<h3>What is electronegative?</h3>

Electronegativity, is the tendency for an atom of a given chemical element to attract shared electrons when forming a chemical bond.

Electronegativity increases across the groups from left to right of the periodic table and decreases down the group.

Examples of electronegative elements arranged in decreasing order;

  • fluorine,
  • oxygen,
  • nitrogen,
  • chlorine,
  • bromine,
  • iodine,
  • sulfur,
  • carbon, and
  • hydrogen.

Thus,  the atom that is the most electronegative is fluorine (F).
