Answer:

123.48J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the ball = 2.8kg

Height = 4.5m

Unknown:

Potential energy = ?

Solution:

The potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body. It is mathematically given as;

P.E = mgh

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height

Now insert the parameters and solve;

P.E = 2.8 x 4.5 x 9.8 = 123.48J

muminat

Answer:

a) E = 0

b) $E = \dfrac{k_e \cdot q}{ r^2 }$

Explanation:

The electric field for all points outside the spherical shell is given as follows;

a) $\phi_E = \oint E \cdot dA = \dfrac{\Sigma q_{enclosed}}{\varepsilon _{0}}$

From which we have;

$E \cdot A = \dfrac{{\Sigma Q}}{\varepsilon _{0}} = \dfrac{+q + (-q)}{\varepsilon _{0}} = \dfrac{0}{\varepsilon _{0}} = 0$

E = 0/A = 0

E = 0

b) $\phi_E = \oint E \cdot dA = \dfrac{\Sigma q_{enclosed}}{\varepsilon _{0}}$

$E \cdot A = \dfrac{+q }{\varepsilon _{0}}$

$E = \dfrac{+q }{\varepsilon _{0} \cdot A} = \dfrac{+q }{\varepsilon _{0} \cdot 4 \cdot \pi \cdot r^2}$

By Gauss theorem, we have;

$E\oint dS = \dfrac{q}{\varepsilon _{0}}$

Therefore, we get;

$E \cdot (4 \cdot \pi \cdot r^2) = \dfrac{q}{\varepsilon _{0}}$

The electrical field outside the spherical shell

$E = \dfrac{q}{\varepsilon _{0} \cdot (4 \cdot \pi \cdot r^2) }= \dfrac{q}{4 \cdot \pi \cdot \varepsilon _{0} \cdot r^2 }= \dfrac{q}{(4 \cdot \pi \cdot \varepsilon _{0} )\cdot r^2 }$

$k_e= \dfrac{1}{(4 \cdot \pi \cdot \varepsilon _{0} ) }$

Therefore, we have;

$E = \dfrac{k_e \cdot q}{ r^2 }$

What functions normally performed by the placenta would the hatchery have to perform so that the embryos survive

horrorfan [7]

The functions that would be performed both by the placenta and the hatchery so that the embryos will survive is to maintain the temperature of the embryos. The temperature should also be at the temperature where the embryos would thrive and develop.
