The number of excess electrons needed to be distributed uniformly in the sphere to produce the given electric field is 1.69*10^(10).

What is an electric field?

The electric force exerted on a unit charge is called the electric field.

For a sphere of uniform charge density, the magnitude of the electric field on its surface is given by,

E=k*q/r^2

where E is the magnitude of the electric field, k is the coulomb's constant which has a value of 9*10^9 N m^(2) C^(-2), and q is the total charge of the sphere, and r is the radius of the sphere.

The radius of the sphere is half of the diameter. Given the diameter of the sphere is 26.0 m, the radius of the sphere r=26.0/2 cm or r=13.0 cm.

It is given that E=1440 N/C, r=13.0 cm, and the value of k is 9*10^9 N m^(2) C^(-2). Substitute these values in the formula of the electric field and solve it to get the value of the total charge on the sphere.

Note: 1 cm = 0.01 m.

1440 (N/C)= (9*10^9 N m^(2) C^(-2))*q/( 13 cm)^2

1440 (N/C)= (9*10^9 N m^(2) C^(-2))*q/( 13*0.01 m)^2

1440 ( N/C)= (532.54*10^(9) N C^(-2))*q

q=1440/(532.54*10^(9)) C

q=2.704*10^(-9) C

Since the charge is quantized, the total charge inside the sphere is the integral multiple of an elementary charge. In the given case, the value of that elementary charge is 1.6*10^(-19) C. The total charge is then given by,

q=ne

where q is the total charge, n is the number of elementary charges and e is the value of the elementary charge.

The value of q is 2.704*10^(-9) C and the value of e is 1.6*10^(-19) C.

Substitute these values in the formula of total charge and solve it to get the number of elementary charges.

2.704*10^(-9) C =n*1.6*10^(-19) C

n=2.704*10^(-9)/ 1.6*10^(-19)

n=1.69*10^(10)

A stoplight with weight 100 N is suspended at the midpoint of a cable strung between two posts 200 m apart. The attach points fo
Tasya [4]

There are 3 forces acting on the stoplight:

• its weight <em>W</em>, with magnitude <em>W</em> = 100 N, pointing directly downward

• two tension forces <em>T</em>₁ and <em>T</em>₂ with equal magnitude <em>T</em>₁ = <em>T</em>₂ = <em>T</em> = 1000 N, both making an angle of <em>θ</em> with the horizontal, but one points left and the other points right

The stoplight is in equilibrium, so by Newton's second law, the net vertical force acting on it is 0, such that

∑ <em>F</em> = <em>T</em>₁ sin(<em>θ</em>) + <em>T</em>₂ sin(180° - <em>θ</em>) - <em>W</em> = 0

We have sin(180° - <em>θ</em>) = sin(<em>θ</em>) for all <em>θ</em>, so the above reduces to

2<em>T</em> sin(<em>θ</em>) = <em>W</em>

2 (1000 N) sin(<em>θ</em>) = 100 N

sin(<em>θ</em>) = 0.05

<em>θ</em> ≈ 2.87°

If <em>y</em> is the vertical distance between the stoplight and the ground, then

tan(<em>θ</em>) = (15 m - <em>y</em>) / (100 m)

Solve for <em>y</em> :

tan(2.87°) = (15 m - <em>y</em>) / (100 m)

<em>y</em> = 15 m - (100 m) tan(2.87°)

<em>y</em> ≈ 9.99 m

You have a 16-kg suitcase. what work did you do when you have slowly lifted it 0.80 m upward?
Anna71 [15]
The formula is:
Work = Force · Displacement
F = m · g
F = 16 kg · 9.8 m/s²  = 156.8 N
and we know that:
d = 0.8 m
W = 156.8 N · 0.8 m = 125.44 J
Answer:
W = 125.44 J.
