Consider two conducting spheres with one having a larger radius than the other. Both spheres carry the same amount of excess cha

rge. Which one of the following statements concerning the potential energy of the two spheres is true? O The potential energy of the larger sphere is greater than that of the smaller sphere. The potential energy of the larger sphere is the same as that of the smaller sphere. O The potential energy of the larger sphere is less than that of the smaller sphere.

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is known that potential energy is the energy occupied by an object or substance due to its position is known as potential energy.

Therefore, more is the space occupied by an object more will be its position at a particular location. Hence, more will be its potential energy. On the other hand, smaller is the space occupied by an object, smaller will be the position holded by it.

Hence, smaller will be its potential energy.

Thus, we can conclude that for the given situation the statement, potential energy of the larger sphere is greater than that of the smaller sphere, is true.

M° = 2.5 kg/sec
For saturated steam tables
at p₁ = 125Kpa
hg = h₁ = 2685.2 KJ/kg
SQ = s₁ = 7.2847 KJ/kg-k
for isotopic compression
S₁ = S₂ = 7.2847 KJ/kg-k
at 700Kpa steam with S = 7.2847
h₂ 3051.3 KJ/kg
Compressor efficiency
h =  0.78
0.78 = h₂ - h₁/h₂-h₁
0.78 = h₂-h₁ → 0.78 = 3051.3 - 2685.2/h₂ - 2685.2
h₂ = 3154.6KJ/kg
at 700Kpa with 3154.6 KJ/kg
enthalpy gives
entropy S₂ = 7.4586 KJ/kg-k
Work = m(h₂ - h₁) = 2.5(3154.6 - 2685.2
W = 1173.5KW

katrin [286]
If the car in the opposite direction turns the signal on your vehicle, then it is only likely to give way and let him or her turn before you make your turn because he or she is in the right of way and by doing this, it will prevent any complication from happening and to be able to show respect and politeness in driving.

A wheel rotates clockwise 6 times per second. What will be its angular displacement after 7 seconds? Answer should be rounded to
solong [7]

Answer:

The frequency of the wheel is the number of revolutions per second:

f= \frac{N_{rev}}{t}= \frac{10}{1 s}=10 Hz  

And now we can calculate the angular speed, which is given by:

\omega = 2 \pi f=2 \pi (10 Hz)=62.8 rad/s in the clockwise direction.

To what physical quantity do ampere-hours correspond, and what relationship do ampere-hours have to energy content?
navik [9.2K]

Electric charge

Explanation:

The ampere-hour corresponds to the unit of electric charge.

 Electric charge = electric current x time

    electric current is measured in amperes

     time is measured in hours

The ampere-hour is the current transferring one charge in one hour.

The ampere hour can be used to express the energy require to move a current of 1A in a hour.

The quantity is related to electric charge and the energy in a battery.
