Answer:

C) 7.35*10⁶ N/C radially outward

Explanation:

  • If we apply the Gauss'law, to a spherical gaussian surface with radius r=7 cm, due to the symmetry, the electric field must be normal to the surface, and equal at all points along it.
  • So, we can write the following equation:

       E*A = \frac{Q_{enc} }{\epsilon_{0}} (1)

  • As the electric field must be zero inside the conducting spherical shell, this means that the charge enclosed by a spherical gaussian surface of a radius between 4 and 5 cm, must be zero too.
  • So, the +8 μC charge of  the solid conducting sphere of radius 2cm, must be compensated by an equal and opposite charge on the inner surface of the conducting shell of total charge -4 μC.
  • So, on the outer surface of the shell there must be a charge that be the difference between them:

        Q_{enc} = - 4e-6 C - (-8e-6 C) = + 4 e-6 C

  • Replacing in (1) A = 4*π*ε₀, and Qenc = +4 μC, we can find the value of E, as follows:

      E = \frac{1}{4*\pi*\epsilon_{0} } *\frac{Q_{enc} }{r^{2} } = \frac{9e9 N*m2/C2*4e-6C}{(0.07m)^{2} } = 7.35e6 N/C

  • As the charge that produces this electric field is positive, and the electric field has the same direction as the one taken by a positive test charge under the influence of this field, the direction of the field is radially outward, away from the positive charge.

A 40.0 kg wheel, essentially a thin hoop with radius 0.810 m, is rotating at 438 rev/min. It must be brought to a stop in 21.0 s
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

(a) Workdone = -27601.9J

(b) Average required power = 1314.4W

Explanation:

Mass of hoop,m =40kg

Radius of hoop, r=0.810m

Initial angular velocity Winitial=438rev/min

Wfinal=0

t= 21.0s

Rotation inertia of the hoop around its central axis I= mr²

I= 40 ×0.810²

I=26.24kg.m²

The change in kinetic energy =K. E final - K. E initail

Change in K. E =1/2I(Wfinal² -Winitial²)

Change in K. E = 1/2 ×26.24[0-(438×2π/60)²]

Change in K. E= -27601.9J

(a) Change in Kinetic energy = Workdone

W= 27601.9J( since work is done on hook)

(b) average required power = W/t

=27601.9/21 =1314.4W

A 1,492.3-kg airplane travels down the runway. Each of its four engines provides a force of
Fittoniya [83]

The acceleration of the air plane is 3.879 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

The mass of the air plane = 1492.3 kg

Force of each four engine = 1447.5 N

So, the total force of four engines can be calculated as = 4(1447.5) = 5790 N

The force that acts on the object is equal to the product of mass (m) and its acceleration. It can express by the below formula,

                         \text {Force }(F)=m \times \text { acceleration }(a)

The above equation can be written as below to find acceleration,

                        a=\frac{F}{m}

Now. Substitute the given values, we get,

                        a=\frac{5790}{1492.3}=3.879 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}
