Answer:

Explanation:

  • In heliocentric model of solar system the sun is taken as the center of revolution of all the planets.
  • While in geocentric model the earth is taken as the center of universe and all the heavenly bodies are assumed to revolve around it.
  • The heliocentric theory was posed during the pre-Socractic time but disappeared due to loss of ancient Greeks' work. Later on Copernicus published the theory based upon the work of Kepler, Galileo and Newton providing the mathematical support later on.

Consider a collection of charges in a given region and suppose all other charges are distant and have a negligible effect. Furth
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

E. Some charges in the region are positive, and some are negative.

Explanation:

Electric potential is given as;

V = \frac{W}{Q}

where;

W is the work done in moving a charge between two points which have a difference in potential

Q is quantity of charge in the given region

If the electric potential at a given point in the region is zero, then sum of the charges in the given region must be equal to zero. For the charges to sum to zero, some will be positive while some will be negative,.

Therefore, the correct statement in the given options is "E"

E. Some charges in the region are positive, and some are negative.

The rectangular boat shown below has base dimensions 10.0 cm × 8.0 cm. Each cube has a mass of 40 g, and the liquid in the tank
Paladinen [302]

When boat is sunk into the liquid the net buoyancy on the boat is counterbalanced by weight of the boat

So here weight of the boat = Buoyancy force

let say boat is sunk by distance "h"

now we can say

F_b = \rho * V * g

F_b = 1000*0.10 * 0.08 * h * 9.8

now by above force balance equation we can write

m*g = F_b

0.040 * 9.8 = 1000 * 0.10 * 0.08 * h * 9.8

0.040 = 8h

h = 5 * 10^{-3} m

so boat will sunk by total 5 mm distance
