Two lab partners are doing a static electricity investigation. They begin with a negatively-charged aluminum pie plate. After conducting the procedure, they observe that the pie plate has become electrically neutral. Which statement accurately explains how this happened?

a. Electrons were added to the object. b. Protons were added to the object. c. Electrons were removed from the object. d. Protons were removed from the object.

The correct option is (c).

Explanation:

In the conduction process, the electrons get transferred from one object to the other object. The electrons are freely charged particles. Protons cannot  be moved freely.

In the given problem, the given aluminum pie plate is negatively-charged initially. After the conduction process, the plate gets electrically neutral.

It means that the excess of electrons from the aluminum pie plate is removed. Then, the number of electrons and the number of protons becomes equal. The plate becomes electrically neutral.

Therefore, the correct option is "Electrons were removed from the object".

jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, having a mass and radius that are respectively, 318 and 11.2 times that of earth. suppose that an object falls from rest near the surface of each planet and that the acceleration due to gravity remains constant during the fall. each object falls the same distance before striking the ground. determine the ratio of the time of fall on jupiter to that on earth.

this would be about 43%
