Compressed gases are highly explosive when exposed to high temperatures, because they expand rapidly.

Which law of motion accounts for the following statement?

strojnjashka [21]

I know that its not the second law. I'm almost positive its the first one. Please let me know if I'm wrong. This sentence makes no sense when you put it with the third law. So, the first law is my guess...

The electric flux through a square-shaped area of side 5 cm near a very large, thin, uniformly-charged sheet is found to be 3\ti

deff fn [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

side of square shape $a=5\ cm$

Electric flux $\phi =3\times 10^{-5}\ N.m^2/C$

Permittivity of free space $\epsilon_0=8.85\times 10^{-12} \frac{C^2}{N.m^2}$

Flux is given by

$\phi =EA\cos \theta$

where E=electric field strength

A=area

$\theta$ =Angle between Electric field and area vector

$E=\frac{\phi }{A\cos (0)}$

$E=\frac{3\times 10^{-5}}{25\times 10^{-4}\times \cos(0)}$

$E=0.012\ N/C$

and Electric field by a uniformly charged sheet is given by

$E=\frac{\sigma }{2\epsilon_0}$

where $\sigma$ =charge density

$=\frac{\sigma }{\epsilon_0}$

$\sigma =0.012\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}$

$\sigma =2.12\times 10^{-13}\ C/m^2$

Does mass or height have a greater impact on gravitational potential energy ?

natulia [17]

The formula for gravitational potential energy is ...

Grav PE = (mass) · (gravity) · (height)

We can see from this simple formula that mass and height have <em>EQUAL </em>influence on the Gravitational PE. If EITHER of them is multiplied by some factor, the Gravitational PE gets multiplied by the same factor.

So the answer to the question is: <em> No </em>.
