This question concerns the general density of atoms in gasses, liquids, and solids.

Light cannot go through atoms. It can only go through the spaces in between the atoms.

Gasses do not have much density, as their atoms are freely flowing in space. Liquids are slightly more dense, as their atoms flow together. Solids are the most dense, as their atoms are tightly packed and do not generally move.

The beam of light passed through a medium at a normal speed. After passing through that medium, it sped up when going through another medium. When it hit a third medium, it stopped.

The first medium suggests a liquid. The second medium suggests a gas, because the beam speeds up and has a higher velocity than the medium before it. The third medium suggests an opaque solid, as the beam is stopped by this medium.

The answer is D. liquid, gas, opaque solid.

Hi Stkdazz,

Answer - d. liquid, gas, opaque solid

The reason its D, is because its says its going 200,000 km per hour then sppeeds up. The liquid is slower moving threw than gas because gas is just air. The halts and the only substance that can stop the beam of light is a solid.

The value of x in the given right triangle in a semicircle is determined as 21.

<h3>What is the measure of a triangle in a semicircle?</h3>

The triangle in a semicircle is always a right angle triangle.

From the figure shown, we can say that the triangle  G J K is right triangle and m<K = 90degrees.

Given that m<K = 4x + 6, we will can use the following equation to find the value of x as shown:

4x + 6 = 90

4x = 90 - 6

4x = 84

x = 21

Thus, the value of x in the given right triangle in a semicircle is determined as 21.

Standing waves can ruin the acoustics of a concert hall if there is excessive reflection of the sound waves that the performers
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

The answer to the questions is;

In terms of standing waves, the listener moves from a location with high amplitude to one with lower amplitude or vibration (anti-node to node)

The distance 4.1 cm is equivalent to λ/4

Explanation:

For standing waves we have is a stationary wave comprising of two opposite direction moving waves that have equal amplitude and frequency, resulting in the superimposition of the waves. As such certain points are fixed along the wave path that is the peaks amplitude of the wave oscillation is constant at a particular point. A node occurring at a point and an anti-node occurring at another fixed point

When the listener moves 4.1 cm he or she has left the anti-node to the node hence the faintness of the sound

The distance from the node to the anti-node is 1/4 wavelength, or 1/4×λ

Therefore 4.1 cm is λ/4

A thin spherical shell of radius R has a total charge +Q uniformly distributed over its surface. Of the following distance r fro
grigory [225]

Answer:

The correct answer is B

Explanation:

Let's calculate the electric field using Gauss's law, which states that the electric field flow is equal to the charge faced by the dielectric permittivity

         Φ._{E} = ∫ E. dA = q_{int} / ε₀

For this case we create a Gaussian surface that is a sphere.  We can see that the two of the sphere and the field lines from the spherical shell grant in the direction whereby the scalar product is reduced to the ordinary product

        ∫ E dA = q_{int} / ε₀

The area of ​​a sphere is

     A = 4π r²

   

    E 4π r² =q_{int} / ε₀

    E = (1 /4πε₀ )  q / r²

Having the solution of the problem let's analyze the points:

A   ) r = 3R / 4  = 0.75 R.

  In this case there is no charge inside the Gaussian surface therefore the electric field is zero

        E = 0

B) r = 5R / 4 = 1.25R

In this case the entire charge is inside the Gaussian surface, the field is

    E = (1 /4πε₀ )  Q / (1.25R)²

    E = (1 /4πε₀ )  Q / R2 1 / 1.56²

    E₀ = (1 /4π ε₀ )  Q / R²

   E_{B} =  Eo /1.56 ²

  E_{B}  = 0.41 Eo

C) r = 2R

All charge inside is inside the Gaussian surface

    E_{B} =(1 /4π ε₀ ) Q    1/(2R)²

    E_{B} = (1 /4π ε₀ ) q/R²   1/4

    E_{B} = Eo  1/4

    E_{B} = 0.25 Eo

D) False the field changes with distance

The correct answer is B

Select the correct answer.
kvasek [131]

Answer:

8.37×10⁻⁴ N/C

Explanation:

Electric Field: This is the ratio of electrostatic force to electric charge. The S.I unit of electric field is N/C.

From the question, the expression for electric field is given as,

E = F/Q.......................... Equation 1

Where E = Electric Field, F = force experienced by the charged balloon, Q = Charge on the balloon.

Given: F = 8.2×10⁻² Newton, Q = 9.8×10 Coulombs = 98 Coulombs

Substitute these values into equation 1

E = 8.2×10⁻² /98

E = 8.37×10⁻⁴ N/C

Hence the Electric Field of the charged balloon =  8.37×10⁻⁴ N/C
