Two metal spheres of different sizes are charged such that the electric potential is the same at the surface of each. Sphere A h
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Radius of A is twice of B i.e.

R_A=2R_B

Also Potential of both sphere is same

V_A=V_B

V=\frac{kQ}{R}

thus

k\frac{Q_A}{R_A}=K\frac{Q_B}{R_B}

\frac{Q_A}{Q_B}=\frac{R_A}{R_B}

\frac{Q_A}{Q_B}=\frac{2}{1}=2

\frac{Q_B}{Q_A}=\frac{1}{2}

(b)Ratio of \frac{E_B}{E_A}

Electric Field is given by E=\frac{kQ}{R^2}

thus E_A=\frac{kQ_A}{R_A^2}----1

E_B=\frac{kQ_B}{R_B^2}----2

Divide 2 by 1

\frac{E_B}{E_A}=\frac{Q_B}{R_B^2}\times \frac{R_A^2}{Q_A}

\frac{E_B}{E_A}=\frac{1}{2}\times 4=2

It takes Venus 225 days to orbit the sun. If the Earth-sun distance is 1.5 × 10^11 m, what
loris [4]

Answer:

Distance between Venus and Sun is 1.0864x10^11 m

Explanation:

Data

T1 (Total time taken by earth to rotate around sun)=365 days

T2 (Total time taken by venus to rotate around sun)=225 days

R1 (Radius b/w Sun and earth)=1.5x10^11m

R2(Distance between Venus and Sun)=?

Solution

Apply Kepler Law

(R2)^3/(R1)^3=(T1)^2/(T2)^2

(R2)^3/(1.5x10^11)^3=(225^2)/(365^2)

R2=1.0864x10^11m

a simple machine that combines two inclined planes and is used to split objects is called a . group of answer choices
Semmy [17]

Answer:

The answer is a wedge.

Explanation:

The wedge is a combination of two inclined planes. It is used to separate bodies which are held together by large forces, e.g, splitting timber

M.A.= slant height of wedge/thickness of wedge.

Hence a long thin wedge has a higher mechanical advantage than a short thick one; or the smaller the angle theta between the slant heights, the greater the mechanical advantage.

Jim stands beside a wide river and wonders how wide it is. he spots a large rock on the bank directly across from him. he then w
LuckyWell [14K]

To solve this problem, we must imagine that Jim’s initial position, the position of the rock, and Jim’s final position all connects to form a triangle. Now we can imagine that the triangle is a right triangle with the 90° angle on the initial position.

The angle of 30° is directly opposite to the length of his total stride while the width of the river is the side adjacent to the angle. Therefore can use the tan function to solve for the width of the river:

tan θ = opposite side / adjacent side

tan 30 = total stride distance / width of river

where total stride distance = 65 * 0.8 = 52 m

width of river = 52 m / tan 30

<span>width of river = 90.07 m</span>
