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.

Answer:

therefore critical angle c= 69.79°

Explanation:

Canola oil is less dense than water, so it floats over water.

Given $n_{canola}= 1.47$

which is higher than that of water

refractive index of water $n_{water}=1.33$

to calculate critical angle of light going from the oil into water

we know that

$sinc= \frac{n_{water}}{n_{canola}}$

now putting values we get

$sinc= \frac{1.33}{1.47}$

c= $sin^{-1}(\frac{1.33}{1.47} )$

c=69.79°

therefore critical angle c= 69.79°

A Ferris wheel on a California pier is 27 m high and rotates once every 32 seconds in the counterclockwise direction. When the w

Leto [7]

A) 140 degrees

First of all, we need to find the angular velocity of the Ferris wheel. We know that its period is

T = 32 s

So the angular velocity is

$\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}=\frac{2\pi}{32 s}=0.20 rad/s$

Assuming the wheel is moving at constant angular velocity, we can now calculate the angular displacement with respect to the initial position:

$\theta= \omega t$

and substituting t = 75 seconds, we find

$\theta= (0.20 rad/s)(75 s)=15 rad$

In degrees, it is

$15 rad: x = 2\pi rad : 360^{\circ}\\
x=\frac{(15 rad)(360^{\circ})}{2\pi}=860^{\circ} = 140^{\circ}$

So, the new position is 140 degrees from the initial position at the top.

B) 2.7 m/s

The tangential speed, v, of a point at the egde of the wheel is given by

$v=\omega r$

where we have

$\omega=0.20 rad/s$

r = d/2 = (27 m)/2=13.5 m is the radius of the wheel

Substituting into the equation, we find

$v=(0.20 rad/s)(13.5 m)=2.7 m/s$

Vinvika [58]

<h2>Answer: 277.777 m</h2>

Explanation:

The situation described here is parabolic movement. However, as we are told that the rock was projected upward from the surface, we will only use the equations related to the Y axis.

In this sense, the movement equations in the Y axis are:

$y-y_{o}=V_{o}.t+\frac{1}{2}g.t^{2}$ (1)
