Answer:
zero
Explanation:
For a solid conducting sphere, charges are present on the surface of the sphere due to a phenomenon known as electrostatic sheilding. This affects the charge present in the body and makes it zero. However, the electrostatic potential appears to be equal to the whole present point that shows on the surface. The surface of a spherical conducting solid sphere is known as an equipotential surface. Thus, the potential difference between the two opposite points on the surface of the sphere will also be zero.
Answer:
x₂=0.44m
Explanation:
First, we calculate the length the spring is stretch when the first block is hung from it:

Now, since the stretched spring is in equilibrium, we have that the spring restoring force must be equal to the weight of the block:

Solving for the spring constant k, we get:

Next, we use the same relationship, but for the second block, to find the value of the stretched length:

Finally, we sum this to the unstretched length to obtain the length of the spring:

In words, the length of the spring when the second block is hung from it, is 0.44m.
Work = (force) x (distance)
40,000 J = (20 N) x (distance)
Distance = (40,000 J) / (20 N)
= 2,000 meters
= 2 kilometers.
(20 N is not a huge force when it's being used to move a car.
It's only about 4.5 pounds.)
