Answer: One of the units used to measure incident energy is calories per centimeter squared (cal/cm2).

Explanation: Incident energy this is defined as the amount of thermal energy impressed on a surface, at a certain distance from the source, generated during an electrical arc event.

The working distance is the distance from where the worker stands to the source location. The most common distance for which incident energy has been determined in tests is 18 inches.

A point charge of 6.0 nC is placed at the center of a hollow spherical conductor (inner radius = 1.0 cm, outer radius = 2.0 cm)
egoroff_w [7]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

             q = 6.0 nC = 6 \times 10^{-9} C

         inner radius (r) = 1.0 cm = 0.01 m   (as 1 cm = 100 m)

So, there will be same charge on the inner surface as the charge enclosed with an opposite sign.

Formula to calculate the charge density is as follows.

            \sigma = \frac{q_{in}}{A} .......... (1)

Since, area of the sphere is as follows.

               A = 4 \pi r^{2} ........... (2)

Hence, substituting equation (2) in equation (1) as follows.

      \sigma = \frac{q_{in}}{4 \pi r^{2}}

                   = \frac{6 \times 10^{-9} C}{4 \times 3.14 \times (0.01)^{2}}            

                   = 0.477 \times 10^{-5}

or,               = 4.77 \mu C/m^{2}

Thus, we can conclude that the resulting charge density on the inner surface of the conducting sphere is 4.77 \mu C/m^{2}.

How does the change in the sa/v ratio compare with the change in distance from the center of the cell to the nearest face?
Ivanshal [37]
<span>Answer: I'm pretty sure the SA / V ratio would get smaller. Assume that the cell is more or less spherical. SA = 4(pi)r^2, while V = (3/4)(pi)r^3. The ratio = (4(pi)r^2)/((3/4)(pi)r^3), which can be simplified to 3/r. Thus, the larger r gets, the smaller the ratio becomes.</span>

Why do all planets rotate around the sun in the ssame direction
Nutka1998 [239]
This is because of the conservation of angular momentum, which allows most planets to spin in the same direction, but Venus and Uranus have seem to ignore this as they spin in different directions, as Venus spins clockwise and Uranus is on its side

From the average distance of one of jupiter's moons to jupiter and its orbital period around jupiter, we can determine:
den301095 [7]

Answer: Jupiter's mass

Explanation:

From Kepler's third law:

T^2=\frac{4\pi^2}{GM}a^3

where T is the orbital period of a satellite, a is the average distance of the satellite from the Planet, M is the mass of the planet, G is the gravitational constant.

If the average distance of one of Jupiter's moons to Jupiter and its orbital period around Jupiter is given then mass of the Jupiter can be found:

\Rightarrow M_J=\frac{4\pi^2}{GT_m^2}a_m^3

A 0.500 kg rock is whirled in a vertical circle of a radius 0.60 m . the velocity of the rock at the bottom of the swing is 4.0
OLEGan [10]

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration is:

a = v² / r

a = (4.0 m/s)² / 0.60 m

a = 26.6 m/s²
