Shortening the conductor (B) <span> would decrease the resistance
to the flow of an electric current through a body.</span>
Answer:
Part a)

Part b)

Explanation:
Part a)
Electric flux entering into the base
so it is given as





Part b)
Now since we know that there is no enclosed charge in the hemisphere
so net flux must be zero



Hey! I empathize with you, as I just started the energy unit in physics as well!
Alright, lets list what we know, and which equation(s) we need.
PE = Gravitational Potential Energy

m = mass
g = gravity (9.8 m/s^2)
h = height
Guess what?
We need to find the height!
Lets make this more organized:
Known:
m = 40 kg
PE = 14000
g = 9.8 m/s^2
Unknown:
h = ?
================================
Now, if we take a look at the equation PEg = mgh, you will see that we have everything besides the height! So lets solve for the height by substituting in for the variables we know:
14000 J = 40 kg * (9.8 m/s^2) * h
40 * 9.8 = 392
14000 J = 392 * h
14000/392 = h
35.71 m = h
There we go! If you simply list what you know and don't know, you will find the equation you need to solve the problem.
Have a great day and good luck!
Answer:
Continental drift describes one of the earliest ways geologists thought continents moved over time. Today, the theory of continental drift has been replaced by the science of plate tectonics.
The theory of continental drift is most associated with the scientist Alfred Wegener. In the early 20th century, Wegener published a paper explaining his theory that the continental landmasses were “drifting” across the Earth, sometimes plowing through oceans and into each other. He called this movement continental drift.
That's false. Mechanical waves (like sound and ocean waves) do
need a medium to travel in, but electromagnetic waves (like radio
and light) don't.
