Answer:

The students conclusion is wrong.

Explanation:

The students conclusion is wrong because liquids can not soak into concrete. The water evaporated because it was a hot sunny day. The water turned into a gas called water vapor.

Consider three identical metal spheres, A, B, and C. Sphere A carries a charge of +6q. Sphere B caries a charge of-2q. Sphere C
miskamm [114]
<h2>20. How much charge is on sphere B after A and B touch and are separated?</h2><h3>Answer:</h3>

\boxed{q_{B}=+2q}

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We'll solve this problem by using the concept of electric potential or simply called potential V, which is <em>the energy per unit charge, </em>so the potential V at any point in an electric field with a test charge q_{0} at that point is:

V=\frac{U}{q_{0}}

The potential V due to a single point charge q is:

V=k\frac{q}{r}

Where k is an electric constant, q is value of point charge and r is  the distance from point charge to  where potential is measured. Since, the three spheres A, B and C are identical, they have the same radius r. Before the sphere A and B touches we have:

V_{A}=k\frac{q_{A}}{r_{A}} \\ \\ V_{B}=k\frac{q_{B}}{r_{A}} \\ \\ But: \\ \\ \ r_{A}=r_{B}=r

When they touches each other the potential is the same, so:

V_{A}= V_{B} \\ \\ k\frac{q_{A}}{r}=k\frac{q_{B}}{r} \\ \\ \boxed{q_{A}=q_{B}}

From the principle of conservation of charge <em>the algebraic sum of all the electric charges in any closed system is constant. </em>So:

q_{A}+q_{B}=q \\ \\ q_{A}=+6q \ and \ q_{B}=-2q \\ \\ So: \\ \\ \boxed{q_{A}+q_{B}=+4q}

Therefore:

(1) \ q_{A}=q_{B} \\ \\ (2) \ q_{A}+q_{B}=+4q \\ \\ (1) \ into \ (2): \\ \\ q_{A}+q_{A}=+4q \therefore 2q_{A}=+4q \therefore \boxed{q_{A}=q_{B}=+2q}

So after A and B touch and are separated the charge on sphere B is:

\boxed{q_{B}=+2q}

<h2>21. How much charge ends up on sphere C?</h2><h3>Answer:</h3>

\boxed{q_{C}=+1.5q}

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

First: A and B touches and are separated, so the charges are:

q_{A}=q_{B}=+2q

Second:  C is then touched to sphere A and separated from it.

Third: C is to sphere B and separated from it

So we need to calculate the charge that ends up on sphere C at the third step, so we also need to calculate step second. Therefore, from the second step:

Here q_{A}=+2q and C carries no net charge or q_{C}=0. Also, r_{A}=r_{C}=r

V_{A}=k\frac{q_{A}}{r} \\ \\ V_{C}=k\frac{q_{C}}{r}

Applying the same concept as the previous problem when sphere touches we have:

k\frac{q_{A}}{r} =k\frac{q_{C}}{r} \\ \\ q_{A}=q_{C}

For the principle of conservation of charge:

q_{A}+q_{C}=+2q \\ \\ q_{A}=q_{C}=+q

Finally, from the third step:

Here q_{B}=+2q \ and \ q_{C}=+q. Also, r_{B}=r_{C}=r

V_{B}=k\frac{q_{B}}{r} \\ \\ V_{C}=k\frac{q_{C}}{r}

When sphere touches we have:

k\frac{q_{B}}{r} =k\frac{q_{C}}{r} \\ \\ q_{B}=q_{C}

For the principle of conservation of charge:

q_{B}+q_{C}=+3q \\ \\ q_{A}=q_{C}=+1.5q

So the charge that ends up on sphere C is:

q_{C}=+1.5q

<h2>22. What is the total charge on the three spheres before they are allowed to touch each other.</h2><h3>Answer:</h3>

+4q

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Before they are allowed to touch each other we have that:

q_{A}=+6q \\ \\ q_{B}=-2q \\ \\ q_{C}=0

Therefore, for the principle of conservation of charge <em>the algebraic sum of all the electric charges in any closed system is constant, </em>then this can be expressed as:

q_{A}+q_{B}+q_{C}=+6q -2q +0 \\ \\ \therefore q_{A}+q_{B}+q_{C}=+4q

Lastly, the total charge on the three spheres before they are allowed to touch each other is:

+4q

A 0.5 kg stone is raised from 1m to 2m height from the ground. what is the change in potential energy of the stone?
Usimov [2.4K]

Given: The mass of stone (m) = 0.5 kg

Raised from heights (h₁) = 1.0 m to (h₂) = 2.0 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

To find: The change in potential energy of the stone

Formula: The potential energy (P) = mgh

where, all alphabets are in their usual meanings.

Now, we shall calculate the change in potential energy of the stone

Δ P = P₂ - P₁ = mg (h₂ - h₁)

or,                = 0.5 kg ×9.8 m/s² ×(2.0 m - 1.0 m)

or,                = 4.9 J

Hence, the required change in the potential energy of the stone will be 4.9 J

Define habitat preservation and give at least two examples.
lisov135 [29]
Habitat preservation is when people get together or just one person helps to stop the end of a living space for animals such as the monterey aquarium the help sea life by doing research to see why animals are dying and do what they can to stop it. another one if nation parks or forests you are not allowed to harm them in any way they are protected by laws(the government)
