Difference between kilogram and kilometre in points

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Kilogram(kg) is the SI unit for mass while kilometre(km) is a unit for length. They are both similar in that they are 10^3 of a unit, thus kilo. As kilogram represents mass, it is a measure of how much matter is present in an object. While kilometre is a measure of distance/how long or short an object is.

Suppose the Sun moved twice the distance from Earth. Describe immediate and future changes to our planet. Justify your reasoning

Reptile [31]

Our year would now be 2.8 times longer, we would also be receiving only 1/4 of the energy from the sun that we currently do. This means that we’d now be out beyond the orbit of Mars and right at the edge of the asteroid belt, and things would rapidly get very cold with temperatures expected to drop by around 50 degrees Celsius on average, and that’s with our current atmospheric composition which would not be stable in the new conditions. And also, any living thing on earth would die.

Two identical conducting spheres, A and B, carry equal charge. They are separated by a distance much larger than their diameters

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

C. $\frac{3F}{8}$

Explanation:

Let initial charges on both spheres be, $q$

$F=\frac{Kq^2}{d^2} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \_i$

When the sphere C is touched by A, the final charges on both will be, $\frac{q}{2}$

#Now, when C is touched by B, the final charges on both of them will be:

$q_c=q_d=\frac{q/2+q}{2}\\\\=\frac{3q}{4}\\$

Now the force between A and B is calculated as:

$F\prime=\frac{k\times\frac{q}{2}\times \frac{3q}{4}}{d^2}\\F\prime=\frac{3F}{8}$

Hence the electrostatic force becomes 3F/8

A large, metallic, spherical shell has no net charge. It is supported on an insulating stand and has a small hole at the top. A

tino4ka555 [31]

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.
