Answer:

42.3 MV

Explanation:

d = diameter of the metal sphere = 2.15 m

r = radius of the metal sphere

diameter of the metal sphere is given as

d = 2r

2.15 = 2 r

r = 1.075 m

Q = charge on sphere = 5.05 mC = 5.05 x 10⁻³ C

Potential near the surface is given as

V = \frac{kQ}{r}

V = \frac{(9\times 10^{9})(5.05\times 10^{-3})}{1.075}

V = 4.23 x 10⁷ volts

V = 42.3 MV

Two objects, Object A and Object B, need to be identified. Object A's index of refraction is determined to be 1.77, and Object B
Slav-nsk [51]

The correct answer is

C. Light can pass through Object B faster than it can pass through Object A.

In fact, the index of refraction of a material is defined as:

n=\frac{c}{v}

where c is the speed of light in vacuum and v is the speed of light in the material. Rearranging the equation, we can write the speed of light in the material as:

v=\frac{c}{n}

So we that, the smaller the refractive index n, the greater the speed of light in the material, v. In this problem, object B has lower refractive index than object A, so light travels faster in object B.

A simple harmonic wave of wavelength 18.7 cm and amplitude 2.34 cm is propagating along a string in the negative x-direction at
storchak [24]

Answer

given,

wavelength = λ = 18.7 cm

                    = 0.187 m

amplitude , A = 2.34 cm

v = 0.38 m/s

A)  angular frequency = ?

     f = \dfrac{v}{\lambda}

     f = \dfrac{0.38}{0.187}

     f =2.03\ Hz

angular frequency ,

ω = 2π f

ω = 2π x 2.03

ω = 12.75 rad/s

B) the wave number ,

      K = \dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}

     K= \dfrac{2\pi}{0.187}

    K =33.59\ m^{-1}

C)

as the wave is propagating in -x direction, the sign is positive between x and t

y ( x ,t) = A sin(k  x - ω t)

y ( x ,t) = 2.34  x  sin(33.59 x - 12.75 t)

If an object is stationary (not moving), what must the net force be equal to?
Brut [27]

Answer:

Firstly, we can state that the net force is the sum of all forces acting upon the object. Since the object is stationary, by Newton's First Law we can conclude that the sum of all forces acting upon a stationary object is 0 because there are no forces acting upon the object.

If the resultant of two velocity vectors of equal magnitude is also of the same magnitude, then which statement must be correct?
Tamiku [17]

The correct option is C) The angle between the vectors is 120°.

Why?

We can solve the problem and find the correct option using the Law of Cosine.

Let A and B, the given two sides and R the resultant (sum),

Then,

R=A=B

So, using the law of cosines, we have:

R^{2}=A^{2}+B^{2}+2ABCos(\alpha)\\ \\A^{2}=A^{2}+A^{2}+2*A*A*Cos(\alpha)\\\\0=A^{2}+2*A^{2}*Cos(\alpha)\\\\Cos(\alpha)=-\frac{A^{2}}{2*A^{2}}=-\frac{1}{2}\\\\\alpha =Cos(-\frac{1}{2})^{-1}=120\°

Hence, we have that the angle between the vectors is 120°. The correct option is C) The angle between the vectors is 120°
