A solid block of copper, which is a good conductor, has a cavity in its interior. Within the cavity, insulated from the conducto

r, is a point charge of 3.00 nCnC. The block of copper itself has an excess charge of -8.00 nCnC. How much charge is on the outer surface of the block and the surface of the cavity

Nikolay [14]3 years ago

Answer:

The charge on the outer surface of the block = -5.00 nC

The charge on the surface of the cavity (on the inner surface of the block) = -3.00 nC

Explanation:

The point charge within the cavity will induce a charge equal in magnitude and opposite in sign on the inside cavities of the copper block.

Charge of the point charge = 3.00 nC

Charge induced on the inner surface of the Copper block's cavity = -3.00 nC

Since the charge on a conductor should usually be neutral, the charge on the inner surface causes a charge equal in magnitude and also opposite in sign on the outer surface of the block; that is, 3.00 nC.

But this block already has an excess charge of -8.00 nC (which resides on the surface because excess charge for conductors reside on the surface of the conductors)

So, net charge on the outer surface of the Copper block = -8.00 + 3.00 = -5.00 nC.

Hope this Helps!!!

Answer:

Total momentum before collision

P1 =.4 * 3.5 = 1.4       ignoring units here

Total momentum after collision

P2 = .6 * V - .4 * .7 = .6 V - .28

.6 V = 1.4 + .28   momentum before = momentum after

V = 2.8 cm/sec

In 5 sec V moves 2.8 cm/sec * 5 sec = 14 cm

When we breathe, we inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide plus water vapor. Which likely has more mass, the air that we inhale
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

If the same volume of air is inhaled and exhaled, the air we breathe out normally weighs more than the air we breathe in.

Since the output from the body normally exceeds the input, breathing leads to weight loss.

Explanation:

If equal volumes of gas is inhaled and exhaled, the exhaled gas is heavier.

The inhaled gas contains Oxygen and majorly Nitrogen.

The exhaled gas contains CO₂, H₂O and a very large fraction of the unused inhaled air that goes into the lungs.

So, basically, the body exchanges O₂ with CO₂ and H₂O (and some other unwanted gases in the body) in a composition that CO₂, the heavier gas of the ones mentioned here, is prominent.

So, because the mass leaving the body is more than the mass entering, breathing leads to a loss of weight. This is one of the reasons why we need food for sustenance. Breathing alone will wear one out.

Why is the specific heat capacity of the human body close to, but somewhat less than, that of water?
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

Because most of the human body (about 70% of it) consists of water

Explanation:

The main reason why the specific heat capacity of the human body is very close to that of water is that water makes approximately 70% of the substances of which the human body consists. However, the human body has a slightly smaller specific heat capacity than water, because it contains also other elements/substances, and since water is one of the substances with the higher specific heat capacity at all, the specific heat capacity of the body is a bit smaller.
