If you pour sand into a cup(empty) why would it change?
If it had water in it then the sand <span>will sink to the bottom</span>, and not change forms.

If you, for example, poured it onto a wide cup with a volume equal to the total volume of the sand particles, the sand would not spread out to fill the container but would bunch up together in the middle.

Two uncharged metal spheres, spaced 25.0 cm apart, have a capacitance of 26.0 pF. How much work would it take to move 12.0 nC of

viktelen [127]

Answer:

$W=2.76\times 10^{-6}\ J$

Explanation:

Given that,

The distance between two spheres, r = 25 cm = 0.25 m

The capacitance, C = 26 pF = 26×10⁻¹² F

Charge, Q = 12 nC = 12 × 10⁻⁹ C

We need to find the work done in moving the charge. We know that, work done is given by :

$U=\dfrac{Q^2}{2C}$

Put all the values,

$U=\dfrac{(12\times 10^{-9})^2}{2\times 26\times 10^{-12}}\\\\U=2.76\times 10^{-6}\ J$

So, the work done is $2.76\times 10^{-6}\ J$ .

Please could someone explain this.

This problem is to let you practice using Newton's second law of motion:

Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

-- The airplane's mass when it takes off (before it burns any of its load of fuel) is 320,000 kg.

-- The force available is (240,000 N/per engine) x (4 engines) = 960,000 N.

-- Now you know ' F ' and ' mass '. Use Newton's second law of motion to calculate the plane's acceleration.

We now have an algebraic expression with only one variable, which can be solved. Once we have that, we can plug it back into one

Len [333]

Answer:

A=1

B=-2

Explanation:

Part A and B of the question wasn't given, however, I attached the relevant parts to solve this question as follows.

From part B as attached, it shows that the right option is C which is

2A+3B=-4

Substituting B with 3A-5 then we form the second equation as shown

2A+3(3A-5)=-4

By simplifying the above equation, we obtain

2A+9A-15=-4

Re-arranging, then

11A=-4+15

Finally

11A=11

A=1

To obtain B, we already know that 3A-5 so substituting the value of A into the above then we obtain

B=3(1)-5=-2

Therefore, required values are 1 and -2
