Explanation:

Most objects tend to contains nearly equal numbers of negative and positive charges as it is most stable state. In this case, the object does not want to lose or gain electrons in order to get stable.

The repulsive or attractive electrical forces tend to cancel each other.

There are an equal number of positive and negative charges which make the object electrically neutral.

If the object has more negative charge than the positive charge then it makes the object most unstable or vice versa.

<span>Most objects tend to contain the same numbers of positive and negative charge because this is the most stable situation. In fact, if an object has an excess of positive charge, it tends to attract an equal number of negative charges to balance this effect and restore neutrality: the attracted negative charges combine with the excess of positive charges, leaving the object electrically neutral.</span>

____ [38]

Answer:

a) Velocity = 4.2m/s

b) Acceleration = 2.94m/s^2

c) Force exerted on the floor= 1401.4×10^3N

Explanation:

a) Velocity,V=sqrt(2×9.8×0.900)

V= 4.2m/s

b) Vf2= V^2+2ay2

a= 4.2^2 - 0/2×3

a= 17.64/6= 2.94m/s^2

c) Newton's 2nd law indicates:

Fnet= F - mg=ma

F= m(g+a)

F=110(9.8+2.94)

F=110×12.94

F= 1401.4N

Two objects are placed in thermal contact and are allowed to come to equilibrium in isolation. The heat capacity of Object A is

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Heat capacity A = 3 x heat capacity of B

initial temperature of A = 2 x initial temperature of B

TA = 2 TB

Let T be the final temperature of the system

Heat lost by A is equal to the heat gained by B

mass of A x specific heat of A x (TA - T) = mass of B x specific heat of B x ( T - TB)

heat capacity of A x ( TA - T) = heat capacity of B x ( T - TB)

3 x heat capacity of B x ( TA - T) = heat capacity of B x ( T - TB)

3 TA - 3 T = T - TB

6 TB + TB = 4 T

T = 1.75 TB

Brums [2.3K]

We get the clearest image if there is no magnification. When we have no magnification the image and real object have the same size.
If we look at the diagram that I attached we can see that:
$\frac{h_i}{h_0}=\frac{d_i}{d_0}$
Two triangles that I marked are similar and from this we get:
$\frac{h_i}{h_0}=\frac{d_i-f}{f}$
The image and the object must have the same height so we get:
$\frac{h_i}{h_0}=\frac{d_i-f}{f};h_i=h_0\\
1=\frac{d_i-f}{f}\\
d_i=2f$
This tells how far the screen should be from the lens.
The position of the screen on the optical bench is:
$S=20.5cm+2f=20.5+2\cdot 15cm=50.5cm$

An annular Solar Eclipse

Explanation:

Solar eclipse is an event that occurs naturally on Earth when the moon in its orbit is positioned between the Earth and the Sun.Solar Eclipse can be total ,partial or annular.In the total solar eclipse, the moon completely covers the sun where as in the annular solar eclipse the moon covers the center of the Sun leaving outer edges of the Sun to be visible forming the<em> ring of fire.</em>In partial solar eclipse the Earth moves through the lunar penumbra as the moon moves between Earth and Sun.The moon blocks only some parts of the solar disk.Annular solar eclipse happens during new moon and the moon is at its farthest position from the Earth called Apogee.

In order to find the distance of the steel ring to the ground, when its temperature has raised by 1°C, you first calculate the radius of the steel tube before its temperature increases.

You use the formula for the circumference of the steel ring:
