Energy is the one that is stored in the ball when it drops. Just before it hits the ground, the energy depends on the mass of the ball and its velocity. When the ball hits, it is compressed and the energy is stored in the compression of the air in the ball and the elasticity of the material that the ball is made from. Some is also converted to heat. The stored energy in the ball causes a force to make the ball back into a round shape and this force presses against the propels and floor the ball back up. The small amount lost as heat is the reason that the ball bounces up with less energy than when it hit.

Luden [163]

Answer: Electric field is not zero but potential is zero

Explanation:

In science, charge, also recognized as electric charge, electrical charge, or electrostatic charge and expressed q, is a component of a unit of body that reveals the extent to which it has more or fewer electrons than protons.

Considering the direction of the electric field is of positive to negative charge. Therefore, it determination be toward due −q also due to both the charges.

But for potential, it is a scalar quantity, so the sum of potential due to all the charges will be zero.

Henceforth, the option (c) Electric field is not zero but potential is zero is the correct answer.

a incorect

From the above statements, we could conclude that option (c) Electric field is not zero, but potential is zero is the correct answer. So, the option (a) Electric field and potential both are zero is an incorrect solution.

b incorect

Among all the options, the option (c) Electric field is not zero but potential is zero is the correct answer.

Therefore, the option (b) Electric field is zero but potential is not zero is an incorrect solution

d) is incorrect

It has been explained that the option (c) Electric field is not zero but potential is zero is the correct answer.

Hence, the option (d) Electric field is not zero but potential is zero is an incorrect solution.

Consider the following geometric solids.
Bad White [126]

Before answering this question, first we have to understand the effect of ratio of surface area to volume on the rate of diffusion.

The rate of diffusion for a body having larger surface area as compared to the ratio of surface area to volume will be more than a body having less surface area. Mathematically it can written as-

                           V∝ R            [ where v is the rate of diffusion and r is the ratio of surface area to volume]

As per the question,the ratio of surface area to volume for a sphere is given 0.08m^{-1}

The surface area to volume ratio for right circular cylinder is given 2.1m^{-1}

Hence, it is obvious that the ratio is more for right circular cylinder.As the rate diffusion is directly proportional to the surface area to volume ratio,hence rate of diffusion will be more for right circular cylinder.

Hence the correct option is B. The rate of diffusion would be faster for the right cylinder.

How would the composition of an atom change if both the atomic number and mass number each increase by one? A) The atom would ha
weqwewe [10]
Choice-B is the correct one. 

-- The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus.
-- Each proton in the nucleus is usually matched by one electron in the 'cloud'.
-- The addition of a proton OR a neutron increases the mass number by 1 .
-- Electrons have such small mass that they don't figure into the atomic mass at all.
