At which point on this electric field will a test charge show the maximum strength?

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The figure shows the electric field produced by a spherical charge distribution - this is a radial field, whose strength decreases as the inverse of the square of the distance from the centre of the charge:

E\propto \frac{1}{r^2}

More precisely, the strength of the field at a distance r from the centre of the sphere is

E=k\frac{Q}{r^2}

where k is the Coulomb's constant and Q is the charge on the sphere.

From the equation, we see that the field strength decreases as we move away from the sphere: therefore, the strength is maximum for the point closest to the sphere, which is point A.

This can also be seen from the density of field lines: in fact, the closer the field lines, the stronger the field. Point A is the point where the lines have highest density, therefore it is also the point where the field is strongest.

2) Two railway tracks are parallel to west east direction. Along one track, train A moves with a speed of 45 m/s from
Natalija [7]

Answer:

105 m/s

Explanation:

Given that the speed of train A, V_A = 45 m/s from west to east.

Speed of train B, V_B = 60 m/s from east to west.

Train B is moving in the opposite direction with respect to the speed of train A. Assuming that the speed from east to west direction is positive.

So, the speed of train A from east to west= - 45 m/s

The speed of train B w.r.t train A = V_B - V_A=60-(-45)=60+45=105 m/s

Hence, the speed of train B w.r.t train A is 105 m/s from east to west.

What is the concentration of H^ + at apH = 2 ? Mol / L What is the concentration of H^ + ions at apH = 6 ? Mol/L How many more H
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

The concentration of hydrogen ion at pH is equal to 2 := [H^+]=0.01 mol/L

The concentration of hydrogen ion at pH is equal to 6 : [H^+]'=0.000001 mol/L

There are 0.009999 more moles of  H^+ ions in a solution at a pH = 2 than in a solution at a pH = 6.

Explanation:

The pH of the solution is the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration in an aqueous solution.

pH=-\log [H^+]

The hydrogen ion concentration at pH is equal to 2 = [H^+]

2=-\log [H^+]\\

[H^+]=10^{-2}M= 0.01 M=0.01 mol/L

The hydrogen ion concentration at pH is equal to 6 = [H^+]

6=-\log [H^+]\\\\

[H^+]=10^{-6}M= 0.000001 M= 0.000001 mol/L

Concentration of hydrogen ion at pH is equal to 2 =[H^+]=0.01 mol/L

Concentration of hydrogen ion at pH is equal to 6 = [H^+]'=0.000001 mol/L

The difference between hydrogen ion concentration at pH 2 and pH 6 :

= [H^+]-[H^+]' = 0.01 mol/L- 0.000001 mol/L = 0.009999 mol/L

Moles of hydrogen ion in 0.009999 mol/L solution :

=0.009999 mol/L\times 1 L=0.009999 mol

There are 0.009999 more moles of  H^+ ions in a solution at a pH = 2 than in a solution at a pH = 6.

HELP PLS.<br><br><br>What are the characteristics of the three states of matter?
vredina [299]

Matter can exist in one of three main states: solid, liquid, or gas. Solid matter is composed of tightly packed particles. A solid will retain its shape; the particles are not free to move around. Liquid matter is made of more loosely packed particles. Hopefully this helps:)
