To model this process, assume two charged spherical conductors are connected by a long conducting wire and a 1.20-mC charge is p

il63 [147K]

Answer:

Part a: The electric potential of each sphere is 1.35x10⁸V

Part b: The electric field at the surface of sphere 1 and 2 is 2.25x10⁹ N/C and 6.75x10⁹ N/C respectively

Explanation:

As the complete question is not given, the similar question is attached herewith. The values are used as indicated in the given question

Let r_1 = 6 cm=0.06 m

r2 = 2 cm = 0.02 m

Q = 1.2 mC

Let q1 and q2 are the charges on each sphere.

q1 + q2 = 1.2 mC -------(1)

In the equilibrium, V1 = V2

k*q1/r1 = k*q2/r2

q1/0.06 = q2/0.02

q1/q2 = 0.06/0.02

q1/q2 = 3 ---------(2)

On solving equation 1 and 2

we get

q1 = 0.9 mC

q2 = 0.3 mC

V1 = k*q1/r1 = (9*10^9*0.9*10^-3)/0.06 = 1.35*10^8 Volts

V2 = k*q2/r2 = 9*10^9*0.3*10^-3/0.02 = 1.35*10^8 Volts

So the electric potential of each sphere is 1.35x10⁸V

Part b

Now the electric potential is given as

E1 = k*q1/r1^2 = 9*10^9*0.9*10^-3/0.06^2 = 2.25*10^9 N/C

E2 = k*q2/r2 = 9*10^9*0.3*10^-3/0.02^2 = 6.75*10^9 N/C

So the electric field at the surface of sphere 1 and 2 is 2.25x10⁹ N/C and 6.75x10⁹ N/C respectively

Nitrogen at 100 kPa and 25oC in a rigid vessel is heated until its pressure is 300 kPa. Calculate (a) the work done and (b) the

nignag [31]

Answer:

A. The work done during the process is W = 0

B. The value of heat transfer during the process Q = 442.83 $\frac{KJ}{kg}$

Explanation:

Given Data

Initial pressure $P_{1}$ = 100 k pa

Initial temperature $T_{1}$ = 25 degree Celsius = 298 Kelvin

Final pressure $P_{2}$ = 300 k pa

Vessel is rigid so change in volume of the gas is zero. so that initial volume is equal to final volume.

⇒ $V_{1}$ = $V_{2}$ ------------- (1)

Since volume of the gas is constant so pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas.

⇒ P ∝ T

⇒ $\frac{P_{2} }{P_{1}}$ = $\frac{T_{2} }{T_{1}}$

⇒ Put all the values in the above formula we get the final temperature

⇒ $T_{2}$ = $\frac{300}{100}$ × 298

⇒ $T_{2}$ = 894 Kelvin

(A). Work done during the process is given by W = P × ( $V_{2} -V _{1}$ )

From equation (1), $V_{1}$ = $V_{2}$ so work done W = P × 0 = 0

⇒ W = 0

Therefore the work done during the process is zero.

Heat transfer during the process is given by the formula Q = m $C_{v}$ ( $T_{2}$ - $T_{1}$ )

Where m = mass of the gas = 1 kg

$C_{v}$ = specific heat at constant volume of nitrogen = 0.743 $\frac{KJ}{kg k}$

Thus the heat transfer Q = 1 × 0.743 × ( 894- 298 )

⇒ Q = 442.83 $\frac{KJ}{kg}$

Therefore the value of heat transfer during the process Q = 442.83 $\frac{KJ}{kg}$

Velocity can best be described by which of the following statements?

pogonyaev

Answer: Velocity can best be described as, the speed in a given direction.

Explanation: To find the answer, we need to know more about the Velocity of a body.

<h3>What is Velocity of a body?</h3>

Velocity is the rate of change of displacement.
It's a vector quantity and is measured in m/s.
It can be positive, negative or zero.
A body is said to be in uniform motion, then its velocity remains constant.
Change in velocity can be a change in speed.
The magnitude of velocity is less than or equal to speed.

Thus, we can conclude that, the option C is best describing velocity.

Hydrogen is found in three different states inside Jupiter, ______, liquid, and liquid ______.

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

gas, metal

Explanation:

The three states of by which hydrogen is found in Jupiter is made up of:

Gaseous hydrogen
liquid hydrogen
liquid metal hydrogen

This is also the same states found in Saturn too.

The pressure inside the largest planet in our solar system is very great.

Hydrogen and helium makes up the entirety of the planet Jupiter.
It has been discovered that inside this planet, hydrogen often occurs as gas, liquid and metal
This is often attributed to the huge amount of pressure in the planet.
