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

SIZIF [17.4K]

Acceleration means speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction. The graph doesn't show anything about direction, so we just have to examine it for speeding up or slowing down ... any change of speed.

The y-axis of this graph IS speed. So the height of a point on the line is speed. If the line is going up or down, then speed is changing.

Sections a, c, and d are all going up or down. Section b is the only one where speed is not changing. So we can't be sure about b, because we don't know if the track may be curving ... the graph can't tell us that. But a, c, and d are DEFINITELY showing acceleration.

Fantom [35]

Answer:

Explanation:In Mendel's time, many people thought that offspring inherited a combination of traits from their parents. For example, they thought that an animal with white fur and an animal with black fur would produce pups with gray fur. This is called the theory of combined inheritance. How did Mendel show that the combination theory was wrong?
