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)

What is the difference between balanced force and action reaction force
Vilka [71]

Answer:

Balanced forces are equal and opposite forces that act on the same object. ... Action-reaction forces are equal and opposite forces that act on different objects, so they don't cancel out. In fact, they often result in motion.

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

The time taken to stop the box equals 1.33 seconds.

Explanation:

Since frictional force always acts opposite to the motion of the box we can find the acceleration that the force produces using newton's second law of motion as shown below:

F=mass\times acceleration\\\\\therefore acceleration=\frac{Force}{mass}

Given mass of box = 5.0 kg

Frictional force = 30 N

thus

acceleration=\frac{30}{5}=6m/s^{2}

Now to find the time that the box requires to stop can be calculated by first equation of kinematics

The box will stop when it's final velocity becomes zero

v=u+at\\\\0=8-6\times t\\\\\therefore t=\frac{8}{6}=4/3seconds

Here acceleration is taken as negative since it opposes the motion of the box since frictional force always opposes motion.
