Answer:

Please see below as the answers are self-explanatory

Explanation:

A electric field line is an imaginary line, which has the property that the electric field vector is tangent to it at any point. It starts from positive charges (since the electric field by convention it has the direction of the trajectory that would take a positive test charge, so it always goes away from positive charges) and ends in negative charges.

Since the potential difference between two points represents the work per unit charge needed for a charge to move between these points, a equipotential surface is the one over which it is not needed to do work to move a charge from any point on the surface to any other point, which means that all points are at the same potential.

Equipotential surfaces are not necessarily physical surfaces, they can be defined in vaccum for instance.
As an example, any spherical surface concentric with a point charge, is an equipotential surface, and it can be a real surface or a fictitious one.

Newton's laws of motion are true on earth and space.

frez [133]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

It is a common misunderstanding that objects in space have no weight. If that were true, they would just float away from the Earth, the Sun and the other planets. Objects in low Earth orbit experience about 90% of the weight that they feel on the surface of the Earth.

Anna [14]

The height attained by the ball is 11.86m

a ball is shot from the ground straight up into the air its initial and final velocity is

initial velocity, u = 50 ft/s = 50×0.305 = 15.25m/s

final velocity ,v = 0 m/s

gravity =-9.8 m/s²

( negative sign shows acceleration in opposite direction)

height =?

using the newton motion of equation

v² = u² + 2as

where

a= acceleration due to gravity(g)

s = height

v² = u² + 2gs

(0)² = (15.25)² + 2×(-9.8)×s

0 = (15.25)² - 19.6 × s

s= - (15.25)²/ 19.6

s = 11.86m

after ignoring the air resistance the maximum height of the ball is 11.86m

ver shines light up to the surface of a flat glass-bottomed boat at an angle of 30 relative to the normal. If the index of refr

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

$\beta = 41.68°$

Explanation:

according to snell's law

$\frac{n_w}{n_g} = \frac{sin\alpha}{sin30 }$

refractive index of water n_w is 1.33

refractive index of glass n_g is 1.5

$sin\alpha = \frac{n_w}{n_g}* sin30$

$sin\alpha = 0.443$

now applying snell's law between air and glass, so we have

$\frac{n_g}{n_a} = \frac{sin\alpha}{sin\beta}$

$sin\beta = \frac{n_g}{n_a} sin\alpha$

$\beta = sin^{-1} [\frac{n_g}{n_a}*sin\alpha]$

we know that $sin\alpha = 0.443$

$\beta = 41.68°$

A hydrogen atom has a diameter of about 10 nm. Express this diameter in meters. Express this diameter in millimeters. Express th

Fynjy0 [20]

So, the first question is: how many meters are 10 nm?

1nm =0.000000001 m.

So 10 nanometers are 0.00000001 m!

Now, how many milimeter are those?
let's start with meters, 1 meter are 1000 milimeters.
so 
0.00000001*1000=0.00001 m!

now, micrometers .1 micrometer are 1000 nanometers.
so 10 nanometers are 0.01 micrometers! (1 nanometer is 0.001 micrometers)
