Answer:

The radius of the sphere is 4.05 m

Explanation:

Given;

potential at surface, V_s = 450 V

potential at radial distance, V_r = 150

radial distance, l = 8.1 m

Apply Coulomb's law of electrostatic force;

V = \frac{KQ}{r} \\\\V_s = \frac{KQ}{r} \\\\V_r = \frac{KQ}{r+ l}

450 = \frac{KQ}{r} ------equation (i)\\\\150 = \frac{KQ}{r+8.1} ------equation (ii)\\\\divide \ equation (i)\ by \ equation \ (ii)\\\\\frac{450}{150} = (\frac{KQ}{r} )*(\frac{r+8.1}{KQ} )\\\\3 = \frac{r+8.1}{r}  \\\\3r = r + 8.1\\\\2r = 8.1\\\\r = \frac{8.1}{2} \\\\r = 4.05 \ m

Therefore, the radius of the sphere is 4.05 m

A spring is 20cm long is stretched to 25cm by a load of 50N. What will be its length when stretched by 100N. assuming that the e
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

Final Length = 30 cm

Explanation:

The relationship between the force applied on a string and its stretching length, within the elastic limit, is given by Hooke's Law:

F = kΔx

where,

F = Force applied

k = spring constant

Δx = change in length of spring

First, we find the spring constant of the spring. For this purpose, we have the following data:

F = 50 N

Δx = change in length = 25 cm  - 20 cm = 5 cm = 0.05 m

Therefore,

50 N = k(0.05 m)

k = 50 N/0.05 m

k = 1000 N/m

Now, we find the change in its length for F = 100 N:

100 N = (1000 N/m)Δx

Δx = (100 N)/(1000 N/m)

Δx = 0.1 m = 10 cm

but,

Δx = Final Length - Initial Length

10 cm = Final Length - 20 cm

Final Length = 10 cm + 20 cm

<u>Final Length = 30 cm</u>

A semi-infinite solid is
Anarel [89]

Answer:

D. infinitely extended in all directions

Explanation:

A semi infinite solid is infinitely extended in every direction. It has a single surface and can extend when heat is applied.

The body of a semi infinite solid is idealised, that is, when there is heat present, it expands in all directions to infinity. It can be used for a thick wall because its shape can be changed when subjected to different levels of heat near its surface.

It is also expands as heat is applied because its thickness is negligible.

This idealized body is used for earth, thick wall, steel piece of any shaped quenched rapidly etc indetermining variation of temperature near its surface & other surface being too far to have any impact on the region in short period of time since heat doesn’t have sufficient time to penetrate deep into body thus thickness can be neglected

If 2 objects had the same momentum, what must be true about the mass of the object that traveled the fastest?
julsineya [31]

Yes, the above-given statement is true

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • The product of the mass x the velocity will be the same for both. Momentum is the action of a body with a particular mass through space and there is the conservation of momentum.
  • Momentum is described as the mass of the object multiplied by its velocity.
  • <u>Momentum (p) = Mass (M) * Velocity (v)</u>
  • Therefore for two objects with many masses to have a similar momentum, then the lighter one has to be moving quicker than the heavier object.
