What best describes the direction of the electric field on a spherical equipotential surface?

Physics
1 answer:
Alla [95]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Perpendicular to the surface

Explanation:

- Electric field lines represent the direction of the electric field. The electric field lines also correspond to the direction along which the gradient of the electric potential is maximum.

- Equipotentials are lines or surfaces along which the electric potential is constant: the electric potential does not change moving along an equipotential surface.

Given the two definitions, equipotential lines are always perpendicular to the electric field lines. Therefore, in this problem, the direction of the electric field is perpendicular to the spherical equipotential surface.

Synthesis and decomposition reactions are  b. Synthesis and decomposition reactions are opposites of each other. Synthesis reactions are in the form A + B → AB, while decomposition reactions are in the form AB → A + B.

Synthesis reactions are reactions in which elements or compounds combine to form a larger compound. They are of the form A + B → AB.

Example: Na(s) + Cl (g)→ NaCl(s)

Decomposition reactions are reactions in which a larger compound breaks up into smaller compounds or elements. They are of the form AB → A + B.

Example: CaCO₃(s) → CaO (s) + CO₂ (g)

Synthesis and decomposition reactions are opposite of each other since synthesis reactions, new substances are formed while in decomposition reactions the compound is broken down into into smaller constituents.

So, Synthesis and decomposition reactions are  b. Synthesis and decomposition reactions are opposites of each other. Synthesis reactions are in the form A + B → AB, while decomposition reactions are in the form AB → A + B.

When a cannon is fired, how does the size of the force of the cannon on the cannonball compared with the force of the cannonball
kati45 [8]
The force applied to the cannonball and cannon is equal. The explosion inside the cannon will generate a pressure which will turn into a force on both cannonball and cannon. The cannon being heavier and fixed to the ground will move a bit, but the cannonball will be thrown away, fired.

U235 + n → Xe134 + Sr100 + 2n
xenn [34]
Nuclear fission formula by the looks of it. Possibly how Professor Lisa Meitner realised that she had split the atomic nucleus. The Xenon and the Strontium (Xe and Sr) would presumably show up in a radio chemical assaying test at her university. 
A few years later, Professor J Robert Oppenheimer watched a nuclear test somewhere near Los Alamos, US and lamented "I am become death, the destroyer of worlds". Shortly thereafter, Hiroshima and Nagasaki were razed to the ground and annihilated by nuclear bombs. Professor Meitner, probably inadvertently, had got the keys to the doors to "nuclear hell", and JRO ended up turning them. Something like that maybe, and a very harrowing and tumultuous period in human history.
Note in the fission equation, that out come two neutrons. They go off and produce a similar fission in another U235 nucleus into a chain reaction which, i not moderated by, say, Boron, can end up as a "mushroom cloud".
