The metal case of a gold-leaf electroscope helps shield the delicate gold leaf from external influences such as drafts or static electricity. It also provides a stable and grounded environment for the electroscope to operate accurately.

Why do the leaves of an electroscope always diverge to the same extent when a charged body is brought in contact with its disc?

The electroscope has the little ball on top of the "input" rod. Dump some electrons on the ball and the charge will be distributed down inside to the little leaves. Electrons don't like each other. Law of electrostatics, ya know: opposites attract and likes repel. The electrons collect on the leaves and electrostatically push against each other. The electrostatic force is sufficient to move the light foil.


What is the density of an unknow metal that has a mass of 158 g and a volume of 20m?

The density of the metal is calculated by dividing mass by volume. In this case, the density is 7.9 g/cm^3.


Does pencil case float?

It depends on the material of the pencil case. Most pencil cases made of fabric or plastic will float in water. However, if a pencil case is made of a heavy material like metal, it may sink.


What is the position of a particle as a function of time when its velocity is given by x(6m/s)t(-2m/s2)t2?

The position of a particle as a function of time can be found by integrating its velocity function. In this case, the position function would be x(3m/s)t2(-1m/s2)t3.


Is CD case an conductor?

harddisks are constructed from an aluminum platter (conductor) coated with a magnetic metal oxide (insulator)floppy discs are constructed from a plastic sheet (insulator) coated with a magnetic metal oxide (insulator)however the function of computer disks in no way depends on the property of being a conductor/insulator, only on its ability to retain tiny magnetic domains while permitting them to be easily modified.

What exactly is case hardening?

Case hardening, also referred to as surface hardening is the process of hardening a surface of a metal. It is done by surfacing the metal surface with a layer of metal on top of it, in order to harden it.

Will phone cases set off the metal detector at the airport?

If there is metal in the case it is possible that your phone case will set off the metal detector. It's always best to remove personal items before going through the metal detector. Unless the phone case has metal in it, it will most likely not go off in a metal detector. But, now airports have full body scanners and all personal items are asked to be removed.
