Answer:

e) electrons are transferred from the rod to the silk.

Explanation:

An initially neutral glass rod contains equal number of electron and proton.

If the rod becomes positively charged after being rubbed with silk, then the rod must have lost some its electron to the silk since electrons are more mobile than protons, leaving the rod with excess positive charge (protons), and the silk will be negatively charged (excess electron).

Thus, the rod becomes positively charged by transfer of electrons from rod to the silk.

e) electrons are transferred from the rod to the silk.

sveta [45]

Answer:

(a). The initial velocity is 28.58m/s

(b). The speed when touching the ground is 33.3m/s.

Explanation:

The equations governing the position of the projectile are

$(1).\: x =v_0t$

$(2).\: y= 15m-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

where $v_0$ is the initial velocity.

(a).

When the projectile hits the 50m mark, $y=0$ ; therefore,

$0=15-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

solving for $t$ we get:

$t= 1.75s.$

Thus, the projectile must hit the 50m mark in 1.75s, and this condition demands from equation (1) that

$50m = v_0(1.75s)$

which gives

$\boxed{v_0 = 28.58m/s.}$

(b).

The horizontal velocity remains unchanged just before the projectile touches the ground because gravity acts only along the vertical direction; therefore,

$v_x = 28.58m/s.$

the vertical component of the velocity is

$v_y = gt \\v_y = (9.8m/s^2)(1.75s)\\\\{v_y = 17.15m/s.$

which gives a speed $v$ of

$v = \sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}$

$\boxed{v =33.3m/s.}$

A motion sensor is used to create the graph of a student’s horizontal velocity as a function of time as the student moves toward

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Position xf is farther away from the sensor than x0, and ax is negative

Explanation:

Area of trapezoidal are=

= $\frac{1}{2} *(1.5+0.75)+\frac{1}{2} (1+0.75)(-0.5)$

= $\frac{1}{2} *(2.25-1.75*0.5)$

=0.6875 m

As the area is positive therefore displacement from xo is positive

ax=(change in velocity)/(Time)

ax= $\frac{-0.5-0}{3} =-\frac{1}{6} ms2$

When driving in heavy rain, or on a flooded road, your tires can ride on a thin film of water like skis;

Simora [160]

The answer is letter a. It is best to slow down in situations of heavy rain or flooded road as skid could be the result if you lose out of control because the driver isn't slowing down. That is why it is being said that tires can ride on a thin film of water skis as it could skid if it has lost control if the driver hadn't slowed down.

During the 440, a runner changes his speed as he comes out of the curve onto the home stretch from 18 ft/sec to 38 ft/sec over a

Sloan [31]

Answer:

$6.67ft/s^2$

Explanation:

We are given that

Initial velocity=u=18ft/s

Final velocity,v=38ft/s

Time=t=3 s

We have to find the average acceleration over that 3 s period.

We know that

Average acceleration,a= $\frac{v-u}{t}{t}$

Using the formula

Average acceleration,a= $\frac{38-18}{3}ft/s^2$

Average acceleration,a= $\frac{20}{3}ft/s^2$

Average acceleration,a= $6.67ft/s^2$

Hence, the average acceleration= $6.67ft/s^2$

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

The answer is: c. It does not move

Explanation:

Because the gravitational force is characterized by being an internal force within the Earth-particle system, in this case, the object of mass M. And since in this system there is no external force in the system, it can be concluded that the center of mass of the system will not move.
