A negative charge -Q is placed inside the cavity of a hollow metal solid. The outside of the solid is grounded by connecting a c

onducting wire between it and the earth. Is any excess charge induced on the inner surface of the metal? Is there any excess charge on the outside surface of the metal? Why or why not? Would someone outside the solid measure an electric field due to the charge -Q? Is it reasonable to say that the grounded conductor has shielded the region outside the conductor from the effects of the charge -Q? In principle, could the same thing be done for gravity? Why or why not?

Answer:

a)  + Q charge is inducce that compensates for the internal charge

b) There is no excess charge on the external face q_net = 0

c) E=0

Explanation:

Let's analyze the situation when a negative charge is placed inside the cavity, it repels the other negative charges, leaving the necessary positive charges to compensate for the -Q charge. The electrons that migrated to the outer part of the sphere, as it is connected to the ground, can pass to the earth and remain on the planet; therefore on the outside of the sphere the net charge remains zero.

With this analysis we can answer the specific questions

a)  + Q charge is inducce that compensates for the internal charge

b) There is no excess charge on the external face q_net = 0

c) If we create a Gaussian surface on the outside of the sphere the net charge on the inside of this sphere is zero, therefore there is no electric field, on the outside

d) If it is very reasonable and this system configuration is called a Faraday Cage

e) We cannot apply this principle to gravity since there are no particles that repel, in all cases the attractive forces.

Suppose that a sound source is emitting waves uniformly in all directions. If you move to a point twice as far away from the sou
Helen [10]

Answer:

<em>d. unchanged.</em>

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave is dependent on the speed of the wave and the wavelength of the wave. The frequency is characteristic for a wave, and does not change with distance. This is unlike the amplitude which determines the intensity, which decreases with distance.

In a wave, the velocity of propagation of a wave is the product of its wavelength and its frequency. The speed of sound does not change with distance, except when entering from one medium to another, and we can see from

v = fλ

that the frequency is tied to the wave, and does not change throughout the waveform.

where v is the speed of the sound wave

f is the frequency

λ is the wavelength of the sound wave.

750 kg car zooms away from a red light with an acceleration of 7.8 m/s squared . What is the average net force in Newtons that t
natta225 [31]

Answer:

<h2>5850 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 750 × 7.8

We have the final answer as

<h3>5850 N</h3>

Hope this helps you

magine that two balls, a basketball and a much larger exercise ball, are dropped from a parking garage. If both the mass and rad
DerKrebs [107]

Without counting wind resistance, They will both reach the ground at the same time. If we apply the concept of kinematics, such as the equation vf^2=vi^2 + 2ad. This equation doesn't count how big or how heavy the mass is, it only focuses on how fast where they in the start and how far are both of them from the ground. So if they both have the same distance and same initial veloctity, then they will reach the ground at the same time.

For example, Try dropping a pen and a paper(Vertically) at the same height, you'll see they'll reach the ground at the same time.

If you count wind resistance, the heavier ball will hit the ground faster, because the air molecules will resist the lighter ball compared to the heavier ball.
