If the comb and the paper are attracted to each other the charge on the paper, is D)must be positive

<h3>Laws of electrical attraction</h3>

This states that

  • Like charges attract
  • Unlike charges repel

Now, given that a negatively charged plastic comb is brought close to, but does not touch, a small piece of paper. If the comb and the paper are attracted to each other the charge on the paper, this implies that both the negatively charged plastic comb and the paper have opposite charges.

Since the charge on the plastic comb is negative, this means that the charge on the paper must be positive

So, if the comb and the paper are attracted to each other the charge on the paper, is D)must be positive

Which of the following experiments could be used to determine the inertial mass of a block? A. Place the block on a rough horizo
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

D, using a spring scale to exert a force on the block. Measure the acceleration of the block and the applied force

Explanation:

For this you would use the net force equation acceleration=net force * mass however you will want to isolate mass so it would be acceleration/ net force to get mass. Then process of elimination comes to play.

When you jump straight up as high as you can, what is the order of magnitude of the maximum recoil speed that you give to the Ea
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

5.66 × 10⁻²³ m/s

Explanation:

If i assume i can jump as high as h = 2 m, my initial velocity is gotten from v² = u² + 2gh. Since my final velocity v = 0, u = √2gh = √(2 × 9.8 × 2) = √39.2 m/s = 6.26 m/s.

Since initial momentum = final momentum,

mv₁ + MV₁ = mv₂ + MV₂ where m, M, v₁, V₁, v₂ and V₂ are my mass, mass of earth, my initial velocity, earth's initial velocity, my final velocity and earth's final velocity respectively.

My mass m = 54 kg, M = 5.972 × 10²⁴ kg, v₁ = 6.26 m/s, V₁ = 0, v₂ = 0 and V₂ = ?

So mv₁ + M × 0 = m × 0 + MV₂

mv₁ = MV₂

V₂ = mv₁/M =  54kg × 6.26 m/s/5.972 × 10²⁴ kg = 338.093/5.972 × 10²⁴ = 56.61 × 10⁻²⁴ m/s = 5.661 × 10⁻²³ m/s ≅ 5.66 × 10⁻²³ m/s
