'A' and 'C' talk about energy being created and destroyed. That can't happen.
'D' trailed off in the middle, and we don't know WHAT it was talking about.
'B' is the only correct statement.
Answer:
The end of the neutral rod which is the closest part to the charged rod would acquire a negative charge.
Explanation:
One of the rods is positively charged and one of them is neutral.
And the important part is that <u>they do not touch one another</u>, but get close to each other.
In this case, the end of the neutral rod which is the closest part to the charged rod would acquire a negative charge. This is because of the Coulomb's Law. The opposite charges exert an attractive force to each other. The positive charges attract the negative charges on the neutral rod.
Before a person walks through burning coal, the person will make sure their feet are very wet. When they start walking on the coal, this moisture will evaporate and form a protective gas layer underneath the person's feet. You can see examples of this if you happen to drip some water on a hot stove or any very hot surface. The water will very easily glide around on top of a newly formed layer of air underneath it -- like air hockey pucks on an air hockey table. Note that when someone walks through burning coal, typically this is also done very quickly to prevent a great deal of exposure to possible harm. By walking quickly, thinking positively, and letting the water cushion you from immediate danger over a short distance, such a task is possible. You may have also heard of physics teachers demonstrating how this principle works by sticking their hand first in a bucket of water and then quickly in a bucket of boiling molten lead. In the lead, their hand is protected briefly by a layer of gas from the evaporated water (the water vapor). I'm fairly sure that there is a name for this particular layer of gas, but I'm afraid the name is beyond me at the moment. In other words, water vapor has a low heat capacity and poor thermal conduction. Very often, the coals or wood embers that are used in fire walking also have a low heat capacity. Sweat produced on the bottom of people's feet also helps form a protective water vapor. All of this together makes it possible, if moving quickly enough, to walk across hot coals without getting burned. WARNING: Do not attempt to perform any of the actions described above. You can seriously injure yourself. Answered by: Ted Pavlic, Electrical Engineering Undergrad Student, Ohio St. (citing my source)
A milliliter, because it is a smaller unit of measurement more fitting for a drop of water.
To solve this problem we will start by defining the length of the shortest stick as 'x'. And the magnitude of the longest stick, according to the statement as
Both cover a magnitude of 8.32 ft, therefore
Now solving for x we have,
Therefore the shorter stick is 2.695ft long.
