A hollow metal sphere is electrically neutral (no excess charge). A small amount of negative charge is suddenly placed at one po

int P on this metal sphere. If we check on this excess negative charge a few seconds later, we will find one of the following possibilities:

4 0

Answer:

The excess charge has distributed itself evenly over the outside surface of the sphere.

Explanation:

Since the hollow sphere is a conductor, it has free electrons that can move about within the sphere. In this light, an excess charge, the like charges repels each other, therefore ensuring that charges are spread as far apart as possible. There is therefore an evenly distributed charge on the outside surface of the sphere.

For the meter stick shown in figure 10-4, the force F1 10.0 N acts at 10.0 cm. What is the magnitude of torque due to F1 about a
Phantasy [73]

Torque is equal position vector times (r) times force vector (F).  Since F= 10 N and r = 0.1 m, so the torque is equal to (10 N) x ( 0.1 m) = 1Nm. The direction of the torque would be into the screen, clockwise rotation.

Different between group IA and IIA elements​
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

Group IA elements have only one valency electron while Group IIA have two valency electrons.

Group IA elements have cations with higher charge density hence polarizing anions easier resulting into covalent character while Group IIA elements have cations with lower charge density hence difficulty in distorting anions resulting into a ionic character. This is due to difference in cationic radii and charges

you apply the same amount of heat to five grams of water and five grams of aluminum the temperature of the aluminum increases mo
Triss [41]
I can conclude that the aluminum heats up faster then the water, since how they are made up is more different, each has a different compound to it, plus water is more denser<span />
