Hi there!

A neutral metal sphere is comprised of both ELECTRONS and PROTONS.

Recall that electrons have a NEGATIVE (-) charge, and protons have a POSITIVE (+) charge.

Opposite charges attract, and like charges repel.

In this instance, the positively-charged rod will cause the electrons in the neutral metal sphere to move towards the side facing the rod (opposite charges attract), which causes the two to be attracted to one another.

if the amplitude of sine curve is 4 and the frequency is 1 with no phase shift, what is the function that descirbes this curve?

Vlada [557]

Answer:

y = 4 Sin (2πt)

Explanation:

Amplitude, A = 4

frequency, f = 1

Wave function is given by

y = A sinωt

where, ω is angular frequency

ω = 2 π f = 2 π x 1 = 2π

So, the desired wave function

y = 4 Sin (2πt)

Ket [755]

50Kpa

Explanation:

P1V1 = P2V2

Where;

P1= 100. P2= ?

V1 = 500. V2 = 1000

100 × 500 = P2 × 1000

50000 = 1000P2

50000/1000 = P2

50 = P2

P2 = 50Kpa
