Answer:

Explanation:

Emerald is not a variety of corundum rather its a variety of beryl.

A precious or semiprecious stone may or may not be transparent.

The value of gemstone is derived mostly by its rarity.

Pegmatite are igneous rocks found underground near sheets of igneous rocks called batholiths. They are a source of gemstones made of topaz, tourmaline, beryl spodumene and spessartine.

Billy drops a ball from a height of 1 m. The ball bounces back to a height of 0.8 m, then

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

The displacement is $\Delta H = - 1 \ m$

The distance is $D = 4 \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The height from which the ball is dropped is $h = 1 \ m$

The height attained at the first bounce is $h_1 = 0.8 \ m$

The height attained at the second bounce is $h_2 = 0.5 \ m$

The height attained at the third bounce is $h_3 = 0.2 \ m$

Note : When calculating displacement we consider the direction of motion

Generally given that upward is positive the total displacement of the ball is mathematically represented as

$\Delta H = (0 - h ) + ( h_1 - h_1 ) + (h_2 - h_2 )+ (h_3 - h_3)$

Here the 0 show that there was no bounce back to the point where Billy released the ball

$\Delta H = (0 - 1 ) + ( 0.8- 0.8 ) + (0.5 - 0.5 )+ (0.2 - 0.2)$

=> $\Delta H = - 1 \ m$

Generally the distance covered by the ball is mathematically represented as

$D = h + 2h_2 + 2h_3 + 2h_3$

The 2 shows that the ball traveled the height two times

$D = 1 + 2* 0.8 + 2* 0.5 + 2* 0.2$

=> $D = 4 \ m$

Two charged concentric spherical shells have radii of 11.0 cm and 14.0 cm. The charge on the inner shell is 3.50 ✕ 10−8 C and th

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

The magnitude of the electric field are $2.38\times10^{4}\ N/C$ and $1.09\times10^{4}\ N/C$

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of inner shell = 11.0 cm

Radius of outer shell = 14.0 cm

Charge on inner shell $q_{inn}=3.50\times10^{-8}\ C$

Charge on outer shell $q_{out}=1.60\times10^{-8}\ C$

Suppose, at r = 11.5 cm and at r = 20.5 cm

We need to calculate the magnitude of the electric field at r = 11.5 cm

Using formula of electric field

$E=\dfrac{kq}{r^2}$

Where, q = charge

k = constant

r = distance

Put the value into the formula

$E=\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times3.50\times10^{-8}}{(11.5\times10^{-2})^2}$

$E=2.38\times10^{4}\ N/C$

The total charge enclosed by a radial distance 20.5 cm

The total charge is

$q=q_{inn}+q_{out}$

Put the value into the formula

$q=3.50\times10^{-8}+1.60\times10^{-8}$

$q=5.1\times10^{-8}\ C$

We need to calculate the magnitude of the electric field at r = 20.5 cm

Using formula of electric field

$E=\dfrac{kq}{r^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$E=\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times5.1\times10^{-8}}{(20.5\times10^{-2})^2}$

$E=1.09\times10^{4}\ N/C$

Hence, The magnitude of the electric field are $2.38\times10^{4}\ N/C$ and $1.09\times10^{4}\ N/C$
