Answer:

a) Earth

Explanation:

When constructing an accurate scale model of the solar system on a football field with the Sun at one end and Neptune at the other, the planet closest to the center of the field would be Earth.

From the given options the earth is the closest planet to the center of the field. The center of the field can be considered as the sun. In reality we have mercury as the closest planet in our  solar system.

Consider the space between a point charge and the surface of a neutral spherical conducting shell. If the charge sits at the cen
Furkat [3]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

If a thin, spherical, conducting shell carries a negative charge, We expect the excess electrons to mutually repel one another, and, thereby, become uniformly distributed over the surface of the shell. The electric field-lines produced outside such a charge distribution point towards the surface of the conductor, and end on the excess electrons. Moreover, the field-lines are normal to the surface of the conductor. This must be the case, otherwise the electric field would have a component parallel to the conducting surface. Since the excess electrons are free to move through the conductor, any parallel component of the field would cause a redistribution of the charges on the shell. This process will only cease when the parallel component has been reduced to zero over the whole surface of the shell

According to Gauss law

∅ = EA =-Q/∈₀

Where ∅  is the electric flux through the gaussian surface and E is the electric field strength

If the gaussian surface encloses no charge, since all of the charge lies on the shell, so it follows from Gauss' law, and symmetry, that the electric field inside the shell is zero. In fact, the electric field inside any closed hollow conductor is zero

Two balls, each with a mass of 0.5 kg, collide on a pool table. Is the law of conservation of momentum satisfied in the collisio
Dmitriy789 [7]

During the collision between two balls on the pool table there is no external force along the line of collision between them

Since there is no external force on it so here we can say

F = 0 = \frac{\Delta P}{\Delta t}

here we have

\Delta P = 0

so we can say

P_i = P_f

since there is no external force so we can say during the collision the momentum of two balls will remain conserved
