A person is placed in a large, hollow, metallic sphere that is insulated from ground. (a) If a large charge is placed on the sph

ere, will the person be harmed upon touching the inside of the sphere? Yes No Correct: Your answer is correct. (b) Explain what will happen if the person also has an initial charge whose sign is opposite that of the charge on the sphere.

Answer:

Explanation:

It is given that the sphere is insulated from ground and a large charge is placed on the sphere. The charge on the hollow sphere will always remain on the outer surface of the sphere and there will be no charge on the inner surface of the sphere.

If a person touches the inner surface of the sphere then he will not be harmed as there is no charge on the inner surface of the sphere.

If a person carries the charge of the opposite sign of the same magnitude then the sphere and person get neutralized upon touching the sphere.

If a person does not touches the sphere then the charge on the outer surface will be zero and there will be a positive charge on the inner surface of the sphere

A car with a velocity of 6.4 m/s, forward, accelerates to a velocity of 10.6 m/s, forward, in 16 s. What is the card acceleratio
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

acceleration = 0.2625 m/s²

Explanation:

   acceleration = ( final velocity - initial velocity ) / time

Here the final velocity is  10.6 m/s and initial velocity is 6.4 m/s and time is 16 s.

using the equation:

acceleration =  ( 10.6 - 6.4 ) / 16

                     = 0.2625 m/s²

Plz help me! <br><br> How do electromagnetic fields work?
MrMuchimi

Answer:

Electromagnetic field, a property of space caused by the motion of an electric charge. A stationary charge will produce only an electric field in the surrounding space. If the charge is moving, a magnetic field is also produced. An electric field can be produced also by a changing magnetic field.

If the frequency of q of a trait is 0.4, what is the frequency of p?
lianna [129]
In genetic traits, p and q represent the relative probabilities of the two alleles manifesting. If these two are the only options (ex. a dominant one and a recessive one), then the probabilities of both must sum up to 1. In this case, since we are given that q = 0.4, then p + q = 1, p + 0.4 = 1, and p = 0.6.

Could someone please explain to me Archimede's principle without using the term displace (or at least explaining what it means)?
disa [49]
Does this help?

When an object is immersed in a fluid (in this case water, but may include both liquids and gases) the fluid exerts an upward force on the object which is called buoyancy force or <span>up-thrust.  Archimedes’ Principle states that the buoyant force (upward push or force) applied to an object is equal to the weight of the fluid that the object takes the space of by that object.  Thus when an object is placed in water the rise in the water level is dictated by the mass of that object.</span>

<span>
</span>

<span>So for example if you fill a bucket with water and you drop a stone in that bucket, if you measure the weight of the water that overflows from the bucket due to the stone being dropped into the bucket is equivalent to the pushing force that the water has on the stone (as the stone drops to the bottom of the bucket the water is pushing it to stay afloat but the rock is more dense than water and as such its downthrust exceeds water's upthrust).</span>

The 9-inch-long elephant nose fish in the Congo River generates a weak electric field around its body using an organ in its tail
Alik [6]

Answer:

1.34\cdot 10^{-16} C

Explanation:

The strength of the electric field produced by a charge Q is given by

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

where

Q is the charge

r is the distance from the charge

k is the Coulomb's constant

In this problem, the electric field that can be detected by the fish is

E=3.00 \mu N/C = 3.00\cdot 10^{-6}N/C

and the fish can detect the electric field at a distance of

r=63.5 cm = 0.635 m

Substituting these numbers into the equation and solving for Q, we find the amount of charge needed:

Q=\frac{Er^2}{k}=\frac{(3.00\cdot 10^{-6} N/C)(0.635 m)^2}{9\cdot 10^9 Nm^2 C^{-2}}=1.34\cdot 10^{-16} C
