What is polygamy? Explain please:)

2 answers:

I always thought that 'polygamy' refers to the social system in which a man
may have more than one wife, and I thought there's some other word for
where a woman is married to more than one man.

But when I went to look it up just now to answer your question, (which by the
way you could also have done very easily), I found a definition that says it's a
"state of marriage between many spouses". That doesn't specify genders, so
I guess it means any marriage that involves more than two people, no matter
how the genders may be represented or distributed within it.

Polygamy is the marriage that includes two or more partners, like a husband with four wives.<span />

Charge is placed on two conducting spheres that are very far apart and connected by a long thin wire. The radius of the smaller

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

surface charge density on each sphere is $440 \times 10^{-9}$ C

Explanation:

given data

radius of smaller sphere = 5 cm

radius of larger sphere is 12 cm

electric field at surface of larger sphere = 660 kV/m = 660 × 1000 v/m

solution

we apply here electric field formula that is express as

E = $(\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon })\times (\frac{Q_{1} }{R^{2} } )$ .................1

put here value

660000 = $9 \times 10^9 \times \frac{Q1}{0.12^2}$

Q1 = 1056 × $10^{-9}$

and

here field inside a conductor is zero so that electric potential ( V ) is constant

$\frac{Q{1} }{R} = \frac{Q{2} }{r}$ ..................2

so Q2 will be

Q2 = $\frac{5}{12} \times 1056 \times 10^{-9}$

Q2 = $440 \times 10^{-9}$ C

In the graph, which region shows nonuniform positive acceleration?

cricket20 [7]

Answer: A.AB

Explanation:

This Velocity vs Time graph shows the acceleration of a body or object, since acceleration is the variation of velocity in time.

As we can see in the attached image, the graph can be divided in four segments:

OA: In this segment the acceleration is changing at a uniform rate. In addition we can see it has a positive slope, hence we are dealing with a positive uniform acceleration.

AB: In this segment the acceleration is changing at a nonuniform rate, since in this part it is not possible to calculate the slope. However if this were uniform, the slope woul be positive. This means the <u>acceleration is nonuniform and positive.</u>

BC: In this segment the acceleration is changing at a nonuniform rate, since in this part it is not possible to calculate the slope. However if this were uniform, the slope woul be negative. This means the acceleration is nonuniform and negative.

CD: In this segment the acceleration is changing at a uniform rate. In addition we can see it has a negative slope, hence we are dealing with a negative uniform acceleration.

From all these segments, the only one that fulfils the nonuniform positive acceleration condition is option A:

Segment AB
