After an avalanche, a huge block of stone slid down a mountain and landed in the middle of a road. People in the nearby town had

a very difficult time moving it out of the road. The block of stone is difficult to move because A. it has a high amount of momentum. B. has balanced forces acting on it. C. it has a high amount of inertia. D. has unbalanced forces acting on it.

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

From Newton's law of inertia, an object at rest tends to be at rest until there is an external force applied to it.

In the given question, the rock block that fell on the road due to the avalanche contains high mass and high inertia. Due to which the block was not able to move aside. <u>The amount of energy required to push the block aside should be more than the mass of the block</u>. So the block has high inertia value and it will need more force than its inertia value in order to move the block of rock towards the side of the road.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

alekssr [168]

Answer:

V=14.9 m/s

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we are going to use the formulas of parabolic motion.

The velocity X-component of the ball is given by:

Vx=V*cos(\alpha)\\Vx=15.7*cos(31^o)=13.5m/s

The motion on the X axis is a constant velocity motion so:

t=\frac{d}{Vx}\\t=\frac{20.0}{13.5}=1.48s

The whole trajectory of the ball takes 1.48 seconds

We know that:

Vy=Voy+(a)*t\\Vy=15.7*sin(31^o)+(-9.8)*(1.48)=-6.42m/s

Knowing the X and Y components of the velocity, we can calculate its magnitude by:

V=\sqrt{Vx^2+Vy^2} \\V=\sqrt{(13.5)^2+(-6.42)^2}=14.9m/s

A solid conducting sphere with radius R carries a positive total charge Q. The sphere is surrounded by an insulating shell with
Illusion [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

Volume of the insulating shell is,

V_{shell}=\frac{4}{3}\pi(R^3_2-R^3_1)

Charge density of the shell is,

\rho=\frac{Q_{shell}}{\frac{4}{3}\pi(R^3_2-R^3_1)}

Here, R_2 =2R, R_1 =R \,and\, Q_{shell} =-Q

\rho=\frac{Q_{shell}}{\frac{4}{3}\pi((2R)^3-R^3)}=\frac{-3Q}{28\piR^3}

B)

The electric field is E=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{Qr}{R^3}

For 0 <r<R the electric field is zero, because the electric field inside the conductor is zero.

C)

For R <r <2R According to gauss law

E(4\pi r^2)=\frac{Q}{\epsilon_0}+\frac{4\pi\rho}{3\epsilon_0}(r^3-R^3)

substitute \rho=\frac{-3Q}{28\piR^3}

E=\frac{2}{7\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{Q}{r^2}-\frac{Qr}{28\piR^3}

D)

The net charge enclosed for each r in this range is positive and the electric field is outward

E)

For r>2R

Charge enclosed is zero, so electric field is zero

Explain what it means when we say a substance is magnetic
MariettaO [177]
A magnetic field is a force field, invisibly pushing electrically charged objects just as a gravitational field pulls objects with mass. Whereas all objects with mass exert a gravitational field, however, not all objects have a magnetic field. Magnetic fields are created by electrical charges. Thanks to their structure at the atomic level, some substances -- like the iron in magnets -- have a permanent magnetic field.
