Answer:

Collection of stars in the night sky that is popularly known.

The Great Diamond, Big dipper

Explanation:

An asterism is a collection of stars in the night sky that is popularly known. Asterisms are not recognised by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) as constellations. They are not constellations as constellations are a region of the night sky.

The Great Diamond is an asterism which consists of the four stars namely Cor Caroli in Canes Venatici, Denebola, Spica and Arcturus. Big dipper is also an asterism.

Granite is mostly used in building work places whereas Gneiss is used for making tombstones, flooring, etc. Why do you think so?
lozanna [386]

Answer:

Granite is durable, as it is hard and tough.

Gneiss has resistance to pressure and mechanical impacts

Explanation:

Granite is an igneous rock. It is mostly used in building works and construction because they are very durable. They are hard and tough and they have no internal structures.

Gneiss is used for flooring, ornamental stone, tombstones because of the fact that it shows resistances to pressure and also mechanical impacts.

<u>how they are formed in nature:</u>

In nature, granite is formed from the cooling down of hot molten magma and it's solidification before it reaches the surface of the earth.

In nature, gneiss is as a result of igneous rock or sedimentary rocks metamorphosing. Gneiss and granite are kind of similar. When subjected to great heat, granite becomes gneiss

Two point charges, 3.4 μC and -2.0 μC , are placed 5.0 cm apart on the x axis. Assume that the negative charge is at the origin,
Elza [17]

The electric field is zero at x = -16.45cm

Data;

  • q1 = 3.4 μC
  • q2 = -2.0 μC
  • distance = 5cm

<h3>The Electric Field at point 0</h3>

As the 3μC is larger than -2.0μC  and the charges are opposite sign. The electric field will be zero at the negative axis.

Let the point be at x.

For an electric field to be equal to zero;

k(\frac{q_1}{d_1})^2 + k(\frac{q_2}{d_2})^2 = 0\\\frac{3.4}{(5-x)^2} - \frac{2}{x^2} = 0\\

Let's solve for x using mathematical methods.

\frac{3.4x^2 - 2(5-x)^2}{(5-x)^2x^2}= 0\\ 3.4x^2 - 2(5-x^2) = 0\\3.4x^2 - 50 - 2x^2 + 20x = 0\\1.4x^2 +20x - 50 = 0

Solving the above quadratic equation;

x = -16.45cm

The electric field is zero at x = -16.45cm

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

i E=V/d=50/2*10^-3=25*10^3 N/C

ii It is a (+) and (-)

iii C=εA/d

C=12.56*10^-8 * 0.1/2*10^-4

C=62.83 μF

Q=CV=50*6.283*10^-6

Q=314 μC

iv E=0.5 QV

=0.5(50*314*10^-6)

=7850 μJoule
