Answer:

(a) Negative Q

(b) Positive Q

Explanation:

Charge is the inherent property of matter due to the transference of electrons.

There are three methods of charging a body.

(i) Charging by friction: When two uncharged bodies rubbed together, then one body gets positive charged and the other is negatively charges it is due to the transference of electrons form one body to another.  

(ii) Conduction: when a charged body comes in contact with the another uncharged body, the uncharged body gets the same charge and the charge is distributed equally.

(iii) Induction: When a uncharged body keep near the charged body, the uncharged body gets the same amount of charge but opposite in sign.  

(a) When a small tack of charge Q is lowered into the hole, then due to the process of induction, the charge on the inner surface of the shell is - Q.

(b) Due to the process of conduction, the charge on the outer surface of the shell is Q.

F equals 3N with respect to the circle's center, moving in the same direction as the centripetal acceleration.

<h3>How much centripetal force is there in a centrifuge?</h3>

Centripetal force is the force that pushes an item in the direction of its center of curvature. It is fundamental to how a centrifuge operates.

<h3>On a roller coaster, what is centripetal force?</h3>

An item travelling in a circle is pushed inward toward what is known as the center of rotation, which is essentially what a roller coaster accomplishes when it travels through a loop. The force that maintains an object moving along a curved route is this pull toward the center, or centripetal force.

Tanya [424]

Answer:

a) 5.5×10^17 Hz

b) visible light

Explanation:

Since the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation must be about the size of the about itself, this implies that;

λ= 5.5 × 10^-10 m

Since;

c= λ f and c= 3×10^8 ms-1

f= c/λ

f= 3×10^8/5.5 × 10^-10

f= 5.5×10^17 Hz

The electromagnetic wave is visible light

kumpel [21]
<span>The answer is C. This is called polarization of light by reflection. The sunlight is reflected at a parallel angle from on the surface plane of the water from which it bounces from. The glare is due to this polarization of sun beams at an angle with respect to the viewer. </span>
