A solid conducting sphere of radius 2.6 cm has a charge of 35 nC distributed uniformly over its surface. Let A be a point 1.0 cm from the center of the sphere, S be a point on the surface of the sphere, and B be a point 5.0 cm from the center of the sphere. (a) What is the electric potential difference VS − VB?

Several processes form metal ore. match each process to its description. volcanic activity weathering hydrothermal energy rocks break down as they interact with air and water. arrowright density differences and other factors cause metals to concentrate in igneous rocks. arrowright seawater heats up from contact with hot rock, and metals dissolve in it. the water rises and contacts cooler water, causing metal ores to settle on the ocean floor. arrowright

Astudent is given an assignment to demonstrate diffraction. he takes a photograph of a straw in a glass of water. the straw appears bent at the water level. which best describes this example? a) this is a good example of diffraction. b) this is an example of dispersion and not diffraction. c) this is an example of refraction and not diffraction. d) this is an example of reflection and not diffraction.

Researchers conducted an experiment to identify the effects of three different hand sanitizers on the growth of bacteria. the researchers grew one type of bacteria in twenty-four identical covered petri dishes. then, they opened eighteen petri dishes and applied the three hand sanitizers to six petri dishes each. they left the remaining six petri dishes closed as a control group. when the researchers measured the growth of bacteria two days later, the six dishes that had no hand sanitizer showed the least amount of bacterial growth. the researchers concluded that not using any hand sanitizer would lead to the least bacterial growth. which statement best explains why the researchers’ conclusion was not justified? the experiment tested too many variables. the control group was not treated the same as the experimental group. the sample size of twenty-four petri dishes is not large enough. the single type of bacteria is not adequate to make any conclusions.
