Two conducting spheres, one having twice the diameter of the other, are separated by a distance that is large compared to their

diameters. The smaller sphere has charge q and the larger sphere is uncharged. If the spheres are connected by a long, thin wire, then after a sufficiently long time:
a.The two spheres are at the same potential.
b. The electric field at the surface of the two spheres has the same magnitude.
c. The two spheres have the same charge.
d.The larger sphere is at twice the potential of the smaller sphere.
e.The smaller sphere is at twice the potential of the larger sphere.

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When these two conducting spheres are connected together through a thin wire then charge from the smaller sphere will travel through the wire. And, this charge will continue to travel towards the neutral sphere until the charge on both the spheres will become equal to each other.

For example, charge on small sphere is 5 C then this charge will continue to travel towards the neutral sphere until its charge also becomes equal to 5 C.

Hence, then their potential will also become equal.

Thus, we can conclude that the spheres are connected by a long, thin wire, then after a sufficiently long time the two spheres are at the same potential.

The formation of magma within Earth is NOT caused by which of the following processes? A. decompression (drop in pressure) B. ad
Lunna [17]

Answer:

D. loss of volatiles to the atmosphere

Explanation:

The name magma designates matter in a semi-fluid state - resulting from the fusion of silicates containing dispersed solid gases and minerals and other compounds that make up the rocks, at temperatures between 700 and 1200 ° C - that forms the region beneath the crust. land. When it is inside the earth it is specifically named magma and lava when it is ejected to the surface

There are three systems by which magma can be produced on earth:

<u> Temperature</u> rise by concentration of r<u>adioactive elements or by friction of lithospheric plates</u>.

<u> Pressure decrease,</u> since the melting point decreases.

Adding <u>water</u> A rock begins to melt earlier if it contains water because the –OH groups effectively break the Si-O bonds.

A rock is formed by a set of minerals, each of which has a characteristic melting point so a rock does not have a single melting point but a temperature range in which the rock melts into parts, leaving others solid parts. Between the point at which a solid rock begins to melt and the melting end (liquid point) the rock is partially molten.

The rise of magmas depends on their physical-chemical conditions (viscosity, density, volatile element content), on the tectonic peculiarities of the region where they are found and on the rocks to be traversed. Acid magmas are light and viscous, rise easily and cause large deposits. The basic magmas, of greater density, are less viscous and ascend with greater difficulty than the previous ones.

An overnight rainstorm has caused a major roadblock. Three massive rocks of mass m1=584 kg, m2=838 kg, and m3=322 kg have blocke
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

Force must be applied to m₁ to move the group of rocks from the road at 0.250 m/s² = 436 N

Explanation:

Total force required = Mass x Acceleration,

F = ma

Here we need to consider the system as combine, total mass need to be considered.

Total mass, a = m₁+m₂+m₃ = 584 + 838 + 322 = 1744 kg

We need to accelerate the group of rocks from the road at 0.250 m/s²

That is acceleration, a = 0.250 m/s²

Force required, F = ma = 1744 x 0.25 = 436 N

Force must be applied to m₁ to move the group of rocks from the road at 0.250 m/s² = 436 N

Assume that the force of a bow on an arrow behaves like the spring force. In aiming the arrow, an archer pulls the bow back 50.
Nady [450]

Answer:

v = 38.73 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Extension of the bow, x = 50 cm = 0.5 m

Force of the arrow, F = 150 N

Mass of the arrow, m = 50 g = 0.05 kg

speed of arrow, v = ? m/s

We start by finding the spring constant

Remember, F = kx, so

k = F/x

k = 150 / 0.5

k = 300 N/m

the potential energy if the bow when pulled back is

E = 1/2kx²

E = 1/2 * 300 * 0.5²

E = 0.5 * 300 * 0.25

E = 37.5 J

The speed of the arrow will now be found by using the law of conservation of energy

1/2kx² = 1/2mv²

kx² = mv²

v² = kx²/m, on substituting, we have

v² = (300 * 0.5²) / 0.05

v² = 75 / 0.05

v² = 1500

v = √1500

v = 38.73 m/s
