Suppose a point charge is located at the center of a spherical surface. The electric field at the surface of the sphere and the

total flux through the sphere are determined. Now the radius of the sphere is halved. What happens to the flux through the sphere and the magnitude of the electric field

Answer:

<em>The flux through the sphere will remain the same, and the magnitude of the electric field will increase by four times.</em>

Explanation:

The electric flux is the number of electric field, passing through a given area. It is proportional to the electric field strength and the area through which this field passes.

If the radius of the sphere is halved, the area of the sphere will reduce by square of the reduction, which will be four times. The electric field lines will become closer together, or technically increase by a fourth of its initial value. The resultant effect is that the electric flux will remain the same.

If originally,

Φ = EA cos∅

where Φ is the electric flux through the sphere

E is the electric field on the sphere

A is the area of the sphere.

If the area of the sphere is reduced to half, then,

the area reduces to A/4,

and the electric field increases to be 4E on the sphere.

The flux now becomes

Φ = 4E x A/4 cos∅

which reduces to

Φ = EA cos∅

which is the initial electric flux on the sphere.

Which is a valid velocity reading for an object?
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

45 m / s North is a valid vector reading for an object.

Explanation:

Then velocity will be defined by x km / hr North. And, magnitude of velocity defines the speed of the body. Although this tells the speed, but there is no description for the direction, so it's not a vector reading

Describe the water cycle process starting from an afternoon thunderstorm. There are many different variations that could happen.
spin [16.1K]

Explanation:

The water cycle basically involves five steps:

  • evaporation and transpiration ⇄
  • condensation, ⇄
  • precipitation, ⇄
  • runoff, ⇄
  • infiltration ⇄

So when a <u>thunderstorm </u>occurs it <em>helps in completing the precipitation process </em>by enabling the release of water vapor stored up in the atmosphere to fall on the ground as rain.

After this, the water <em>runoffs </em><em>to the surface of the ground, on plants, into rocks, rivers, and lakes.</em>

Next, the <em>Infiltration process</em> enables the water on the ground surface to enter the soil some of which becomes groundwater.

The cycle begins again as the<em> </em><em>evaporation and transpiration</em> <em>process </em>begins, where the groundwater as a result of heat from the sun is taken back into the atmosphere, while water in plants by means of transpiration goes back <em>into the atmosphere</em>.

It then <em>condenses </em>and falls back as precipitation again.

Two hockey pucks, labeled A and B, are initially at rest on a smooth ice surface and are separated by a distance of 18.0 m . Sim
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

The distance covered by puck A before collision is  z = 8.56 \ m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The label on the two hockey pucks is  A and  B

    The distance between the  two hockey pucks is D   18.0 m

     The speed of puck A is  v_A =  3.90 \ m/s

        The speed of puck B is  v_B  =  4.30 \ m/s

The distance covered by puck A is mathematically represented as

     z =  v_A * t

  =>  t  =  \frac{z}{v_A}

 The distance covered by puck B  is  mathematically represented as

      18 - z =  v_B  * t

=>   t  = \frac{18 - z}{v_B}

Since the time take before collision is the same

        \frac{18 - z}{V_B}  =  \frac{z}{v_A}

substituting values

          \frac{18 -z }{4.3}  = \frac{z}{3.90}

=>      70.2 - 3.90 z   = 4.3 z

=>       z = 8.56 \ m
