Answer:

Instead of pushing straight down, the load of an arch bridge is carried outward along the curve of the arch to the supports at each end. The weight is transferred to the supports at either end. These supports, called the abutments, carry the load and keep the ends of the bridge from spreading out.

A 1.2 nf parallel-plate capacitor has an air gap between its plates. Its capacitance increases by 3.0 nf when the gap is filled
Damm [24]

Answer:

2.5

Explanation:

The capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor filled with dielectric is given by

C=kC_0

where

k is the dielectric constant

C_0 is the capacitance of the capacitor without dielectric

In this problem,

C_0=1.2 nF is the capacitance of the capacitor in air

C=3.0 nF is the capacitance with the dielectric inserted

Solving the equation for k, we find

k=\frac{C}{C_0}=\frac{3.0 nF}{1.2 nF}=2.5

3. A 10-centimeter diameter solid sphere made of a conducting material has 10 micro-Coulombs of charge placed upon it. What is t
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

zero

Explanation:

For a solid conducting sphere, charges are present on the surface of the sphere due to a phenomenon known as electrostatic sheilding. This affects the charge present in the body and makes it zero. However, the electrostatic potential appears to be equal to the whole present point that shows on the surface. The surface of a spherical conducting solid sphere is known as an equipotential surface. Thus, the potential difference between the two opposite points on the surface of the sphere will also be zero.

How would the gravitational force between the earth and the moon change if the moon had half the mass?
Vikki [24]

The moon's gravity, combined with the waltz of Earth and the moon around their center of mass, forces the oceans into an oval shape, with two simultaneous high tides. ... If the moon were half its mass, then the ocean tides would have been correspondingly smaller and imparted less energy to it.
