Difference between discrete and continuous charge distribution?

Discrete systems are those systems in which are made up of finite component particles a which are non-homogeneously arranged such that no smooth variation exists. It is such that all constituent particles have properties which vary randomly. They are direct opposite to continuous systems, which are smooth arrangement of particles which cannot be individually taken into consideration.

Interesting question. I think it's a question of scale. After all, charge is "discrete" or "quantised" into electronic charges.
So, relatively few of them - eg in an atom - would be discrete.
A lot of them - eg in an electric current - would be "continuous" (or an avalanche of discretes = a continuum ... )

Butoxors [25]
Macromolecule polymers are assembled by the connecting of monomers. An -OH group is detached from one monomer and a hydrogen atom is detached from an additional in a procedure named dehydration synthesis in the monomers bond. For every subunit supplementary to a macromolecule in which one water molecule is detached. Macromolecule polymers are broken down by breaking bonds among subunits. This procedure is named hydrolysis and is the opposite of dehydration. During hydrolysis the hydrogen atom is supplementary to one monomer and a hydroxyl cluster to the other and by breaking the covalent bond in the middle of the monomers.

A car and a truck collide in an intersection and the merged wreck continues along. During the collision. both kinetic energy and
Vilka [71]

Answer:

C. Momentum is conserved but not kinetic energy.

Explanation:

This case represents an entirely inelastic collision, that is, a collision between the car and the truck that reduces total kinetic energy of the entire system, whereas linear momentum is conserved. Hence, correct answer is C.

Energy Conservation Theory,

(k+v)_i=(k+v)_f \quad \text { (No air resistone)}\\

\frac{1}{2} m v_i^2-\frac{G m M_\epsilon}{R_\epsilon}=0-\frac{G m M_\epsilon}{R_\epsilon+h}

\frac{1}{2} m v_i^2-\frac{G m M_\epsilon}{R_\epsilon}=0-\frac{G m M_\epsilon}{R_\epsilon+h}

v_{e x^2}{ }^2-v_i^2=\frac{v_{e^2 R_t} R_t}{R_t t h}\\&\frac{1}{v_{B C^2-v_1^2}^2}=\frac{R_E+h}{v_{e^2 R_E} R_E}\\\\\\h=\frac{R_E V_1^2}{v_{\text {esc }}^2-v_1^{\beta^2}}

<h3>What is law of  energy conservation?</h3>

The principle of energy conservation states that energy is neither created nor destroyed.  It may change from one sort to another. Just like the mass conservation rule, the legitimacy of the preservation of energy depends on experimental perceptions; hence, it is an experimental law. The law of preservation of energy, too known as the primary law of thermodynamics

A. A light wave moves through glass (n=1.5) at an angle of 25°. What angle will it have when it moves from the glass into air (n
torisob [31]

PART A)

By Snell's law we know that

n_1sin i = n_2 sin r

here we know that

n_1 = 1.5

i = 25 degree

n_2 = 1

now from above equation we have

1.5 sin25 = 1 sin r

r = 39.3 degree

so it will refract by angle 39.3 degree

PART B)

Here as we can see that image formed on the other side of lens

So it is a real and inverted image

Also we can see  that size of image is lesser than the size of object here

Here we can use concave mirror to form same type of real and inverted image

PART C)

As per the mirror formula we know that

\frac{1}{d_i} + \frac{1}{d_o} = \frac{1}{f}

\frac{1}{d_i} + \frac{1}{60} = \frac{1}{20}

d_i = 30 cm

so image will form at 30 cm from mirror

it is virtual image and smaller in size
