Answer:Simple Covalent substance

Explanation:Simple covalent substance describes a substance that has a low melting point and poor electrical conductivity because:

(1)melting point :For the covalent bond and intermolecular force that are present in a simple covalent substance,energy is needed to break the forces of attraction present. In the simple covalent substance, little energy is needed because the intermolecular forces present are broken because they are weaker compared to the covalent bond present.

Therefore, when simple covalent substance melts,only the intermolecular forces are broken leaving only the covalent bond in the substance.

(2) poor conductivity: for a substance to conduct electricity,it must have charged particles which are free to move to and fro.

But in the simple covalent substance,there are no charged particles that can be separated due to the covalent bond present in simple covalent substance.

A solid nonconducting sphere of radius R has a charge Q uniformly distributed throughout its volume. A Gaussian surface of radiu
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

1. E x 4πr² = ( Q x r³) / ( R³ x ε₀ )

Explanation:

According to the problem, Q is the charge on the non conducting sphere of radius R. Let ρ be the volume charge density of the non conducting sphere.

As shown in the figure, let r be the radius of the sphere inside the bigger non conducting sphere. Hence, the charge on the sphere of radius r is :

Q₁ = ∫ ρ dV

Here dV is the volume element of sphere of radius r.

Q₁ = ρ x 4π x ∫ r² dr

The limit of integration is from 0 to r as r is less than R.

Q₁ = (4π x ρ x r³ )/3

But volume charge density, ρ = \frac{3Q}{4\pi R^{3} }

So, Q_{1} = \frac{Qr^{3} }{R^{3} }

Applying Gauss law of electrostatics ;

∫ E ds = Q₁/ε₀

Here E is electric field inside the sphere and ds is surface element of sphere of radius r.

Substitute the value of Q₁ in the above equation. Hence,

E x 4πr² = ( Q x r³) / ( R³ x ε₀ )

#3: a container has the dimensions of 30 cm x 50 mm x 0.2 m. the density of its contents is 2.5 g/cm3. what is the mass of the s
WARRIOR [948]
Good afternoon!

We calculate the volume of the container in cm³. To do that, we must put the units in cm:

30 cm → 30 cm
50 mm → 5 cm
0.2 m → 20 cm

The volume is:

V = 30 . 5 . 20

V = 3000 cm³

Now, we calculate the mas with the formula:

m = dV

m = 2.5 · 3000

m = 7500 g

Dividing by 1000, we have the mass in kg:


m = 7.5 kg

<span>A. Rocket A will travel farther horizontally than rocket B.

This is because from the x axis, 40 m/s at 90 degrees travels directly vertical. 40 m/s at 70 degrees is slightly horizontal, so it will travel further horizontally.</span>
