The potential (relative to infinity) at the midpoint of a square is 3.0 V when a point charge of +Q is located at one of the cor

ners of the square. What is the potential (relative to infinity) at the center when each of the other corners also contains a point charge of +Q?
a) 0 V
b) 3.0 V
c) 9.0 V
d) 12 V

Answer:

d) 12 V

Explanation:

Due to the symmetry of the problem, the potential (relative to infinity) at the midpoint of the square, is the same for all charges, provided they be of the same magnitude and sign, and be located at one of the corners of the square.

We can apply the superposition principle (as the potential is linear with the charge) and calculating the total potential due to the 4 charges, just adding the potential due to any of  them:

V = V(Q₁) + V(Q₂) +V(Q₃) + V(Q₄) = 4* 3.0 V = 12. 0 V

lilavasa [31]

Answer: Gradient Wind

Explanation:

Gradient wind, is the wind that accounts for air flow along a curved trajectory. It is an extension of the concept of geostrophic wind; for example the wind assumed to move along straight and parallel isobars (lines of equal pressure). The gradient wind represents the actual wind better than the geostrophic wind, especially when both wind speed and trajectory curvature are large, because they are in hurricanes and jet streams.

A particular circuit toolbox contains only 80 Ω resistors and switches, which can be open or closed. Construct a circuit, fillin
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

Here we need to make parallel connection of two 80 ohm resistors to achieve 40 ohm net resistance.

Explanation:

As we know that the resistances in series add up directly and here we are given with only the resistors of 80 Ω.

So when we connect two resistors of 80 ohm in parallel we get the resultant of 40 ohm.

Mathematically:

\frac{1}{R_p} =\frac{1}{R} +\frac{1}{R}

\frac{1}{40} =\frac{1}{R} +\frac{1}{R}

\frac{1}{40} =\frac{2}{R}

R=80\Omega gives us the only combination of two resistors in parallel.

The upward force exerted on an object falling through air is _____.
stira [4]

(C) Air Resistance

<u>Explanation:</u>

When an object falls through air, air resistance acts on it in upward direction. When air resistance acts, acceleration during a fall will be less than g because air resistance affects the motion of the falling objects by slowing it down. Air resistance depends on two important factors - the speed of the object and its surface area. Increasing the surface area of an object decreases its speed.

A large grinding wheel in the shape of a solid cylinder of radius 0.330 m is free to rotate on a frictionless, vertical axle. A
Flura [38]

Answer:

The mass of the wheel is 2159.045 kg

Explanation:

Given:

Radius r = 0.330

m

Force F = 290 N

Angular acceleration \alpha  = 0.814 \frac{rad}{s^{2} }

From the formula of torque,

 Γ = I\alpha                                        (1)

 Γ = rF                                       (2)

rF = I \alpha

Find momentum of inertia I from above equation,

I = \frac{rF}{\alpha }

I = \frac{0.330 \times 290}{0.814}

I = 117.56 Kg. m^{2}

Find the momentum inertia of disk,

 I = \frac{1}{2}  Mr^{2}

M = \frac{2I}{r^{2} }

M = \frac{2 \times 117.56}{(0.330)^{2} }

M = 2159.045 Kg

Therefore, the mass of the wheel is 2159.045 kg

Which of the following are true about S waves
shusha [124]

Answer:

3. they can travel through solids

4. they move rock at right angles to the direction of wave travel

Explanation:

  • S waves are called transverse waves they have the ability to move past the solids. They cannot move through the liquids, these waves are perpendicular to the direction of travel.  
  • They are also called longitudinal waves, the ad is second to record on the seismograph as they slowly pass through the rocks. They have a speed of 3.4 to 7.2 km as per the boundary.
