When the wind kicks up dust and sand, the dust grains are charged. The small grains tend to get a negative charge, and the large

grains a positive charge. The small grains are lifted higher by the wind.?

Answer:

Explanation:

Small grains are negatively charged by the wind while big grains is positively charged and remains at the ground . This process creates an electric field due to the presence of oppositely charged particles.

When ever electric field exists it is directed from a positive charge to a negative charge so the here electric field is towards an upwards direction.

The particle starts from rest at t=0. What is the magnitude p of the momentum of the particle at time t? Assume that t>0. Exp
olganol [36]

Answer:

Ft

Explanation:

We are given that

Initial velocity=u=0

We have to find the magnitude of p of the momentum of the particle at time t.

Let mass of particle=m

Applied force=F

Acceleration, a=\frac{F}{m}

Final velocity , v=a+ut

Substitute the values

v=0+\frac{F}{m}t=\frac{F}{m}t

We know that

Momentum, p=mv

Using the formula

p=m\times \frac{F}{m}t=Ft

A transverse wave is traveling from north to south. Which statement could be true for the motion of the wave particles in the me
Vikki [24]
Transverse waves travel on a direction that is perpendicular to the motion of the particles (or whatever medium is waving)  So the particles must be moving east to west, which is transverse to the north-south motion of the wave

Two large, flat metal plates are separated by a distance that is very small compared to their height and width. The conductors a
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

E=0

Explanation:

Electric field due to each thin sheet of charge=\sigma/2\varepsilon

let us say the right plate has positive charge density \varepsilonand left sheet has a negative charge density -\varepsilon .

In the region between the plates,the electric field due to each plate is in same direction,

E=\sigma/2\varepsilon-(-\sigma/2\varepsilon)

E=\sigma/\varepsilon

in the region outside the plates, the field due to the plates is in opposite directions

E=-\sigma/2\varepsilon-(-\sigma/2\varepsilon)

E=-\sigma/2\varepsilon+\sigma/2\varepsilon

E=0

What is the equation describing the motion of a mass on the end of a spring which is stretched 8.8 cm from equilibrium and then
Darya [45]

Answer:

y = -8.37 cm

Explanation:

As we know that the equation of SHM is given as

y = A cos(\omega t)

here we know that

\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}

here we have

T = 0.66 s

now we have

\omega = \frac{2\pi}{0.66}

\omega = 3\pi

now we have

y = (8.8 cm) cos(3\pi t)

now at t = 2.3 s we have

y = (8.8 cm) cos(3\pi \times 2.3)

y = -8.37 cm
