Answer:

Potential at B would be 100V

Explanation:

The electric potential is defined as the work done to bring a unit positive charge from infinity to some point in the field.

We always determine the potential with respect to some reference point. Let the potential at A be zero. If the potential at B is V, then work done to bring charge q from A to B = qV

which is the electric potential energy.

If instead we use some charge Q, the electric potential <em>energy</em> will be QV, but the electric potential will always be V.

WHO EVER ANSWERS CORRECT I'LL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!!!!!! Why might it be helpful to us to measure gravity fluctuations on Earth? Wha
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Gravity varies when the Earth rotates and its mass and density differ based on where you are on the planet. Knowing how gravity affects sea level thus aids geodesists in making more precise calculations. The mean sea level would be higher in parts of the earth where gravitational forces are heavier.

Listed following are the names and mirror diameters for six of the world’s greatest reflecting telescopes used to gather visible
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

Large binocular telescope, Keck 1 telescope, Hobby-Ebberly telescope, Subaru telescope, Gemini North telescope, Magellan 2 telescope

Explanation:

How much light a telescope can collect depends on its diameter, since in a bigger area more photons will be collected.    

Remember that in a circle the area is defined as:

A = \pi r^{2}  (1)

Where A is the area and r is its radius.

However, the radius can be determined by means of its diameter.

     

d = 2r

r = \frac{d}{2} (1)

Where d is its diameter.

An example of this is when a person is collecting raindrops with a bucket and with a cup. Since the bucket has a bigger area than the cup, it will collect more raindrops by unit of time. In this scenario the raindrops represent the photons.  

   

To determine the light collecting area of each telescope, equation 2 will be replaced in equation 1.

A = \pi (\frac{d}{2})^{2}  (3)

Case for Large binocular telescope:

A_{mirror1} = \pi (\frac{8.4m}{2})^{2}    

A_{mirror1} = 55.41m        

For the second mirror will be the same value

A = A_{mirror1}+A_{mirror2}  

A = 55.41m+55.41m

A= 110.82m

Case for Keck 1 telescope:

A = \pi (\frac{10m}{2})^{2}    

A = 78.53m  

Case for Hobby-Ebberly telescope:

A = \pi (\frac{9.2m}{2})^{2}    

A = 66.47m  

Case for Subaru telescope:

A = \pi (\frac{8.3m}{2})^{2}    

A = 54.10m  

Case for Gemini North telescope:

A = \pi (\frac{8m}{2})^{2}    

A = 50.26m  

Case for Magellan 2 telescope:

A = \pi (\frac{6.5m}{2})^{2}    

A = 33.18m  

Hence, they may be rank in the following way:

Large binocular telescope, Keck 1 telescope, Hobby-Ebberly telescope, Subaru telescope, Gemini North telescope, Magellan 2 telescope.

Who was the first scientist to question the idea that atoms were uncuttable
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

He called these "uncuttable" pieces atomos. This is where the modern term atom comes from. Democritus first introduced the idea of the atom almost 2500 years ago.
