Answer:

L_f = K (\frac{r}{100})^2 * (2T)^4

L_f = K \frac{r^2}{10000} * 16 T^4

L_f = \frac{16}{10000} k r^2 T^4 = \frac{1}{625} k r^2 T^4

L_f = \frac{1}{625} L_i

So then we see that the final luminosity decrease by a factor of 625 so then the correct answer for this case would be:

B. Decreases by a factor of 625

Explanation:

For this case we can use the formula of luminosity in terms of the radius and the temperature given by:

L_i = K r^2 T^4

Where L_i = initial luminosity, r= radius and T = temperature.

We know that we decrease the radius by a factor of 100 and the temperature increases by a factor of 2 so then the new luminosity would be:

L_f = K (\frac{r}{100})^2 * (2T)^4

L_f = K \frac{r^2}{10000} * 16 T^4

L_f = \frac{16}{10000} k r^2 T^4 = \frac{1}{625} k r^2 T^4

L_f = \frac{1}{625} L_i

So then we see that the final luminosity decrease by a factor of 625 so then the correct answer for this case would be:

B. Decreases by a factor of 625

A neutral metal ball is suspended by a string. A positively charged insulating rod is placed near the ball, which is observed to
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

d. there is a rearrangement of the electrons in the ball

Explanation:

Inside the neutral metal ball, there are equal no. of positive charges (protons) and negative charges (electrons). Normally, the charges are distributed evenly throughout the ball.

However, when the positively charged insulating rod is brought near, since positive charges and negative charges attract each other, the electrons (-ve charges) in the metal ball moves towards the side nearest to the rod. The metal ball gets attracted to the rod.

a and b are not correct because the rod is insulating, so electrons cannot be transferred between them to induce a net charge in the metal ball. the no. of electrons is unrelated to the attraction between opposite charges , so e is incorrect as well.

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

1. 5.0 x 10^2 C

Explanation:

V=W/Q

10 = 2.0 x 10^-2/Q

Q = 2.0 x 10^-2/ 10

Q = 5.0 x 10^2 C

What will be the acceleration of an 8 kg object when something hits it with an 12 N force?
liraira [26]
\sf Force = mass \times acceleration\\\\12~N = 8~kg \times acceleration\\\\ acceleration =  \frac{12~N}{8~kg} \\\\\boxed {\sf a = 1.5~ \frac{m}{s^2} }

Measure the length of the arrow in centimeters using correct significant figures.
Zinaida [17]

Based on the very tip of the arrow the best answer would be; 3.3cm

But i could very well be wrong and it may be 3.35, but i would say 3.3 if it just wants to the nearest 10th
