Answer:

2.62898\times 10^{-6}\ C/m^3

1979.99974\ N/C

Explanation:

k = Coulomb constant = 8.99\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2

Q = Charge

r = Distance = 8 cm

R = Radius = 4 cm

Electric field is given by

E=\dfrac{kQ}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow Q=\dfrac{Er^2}{k}\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{990\times 0.08^2}{8.99\times 10^{9}}\\\Rightarrow Q=7.04783\times 10^{-10}\ C

Volume charge density is given by

\sigma=\dfrac{Q}{\dfrac{4}{3}\pi R^3}\\\Rightarrow \sigma=\dfrac{7.04783\times 10^{-10}}{\dfrac{4}{3}\pi (0.04)^3}\\\Rightarrow \sigma=2.62898\times 10^{-6}\ C/m^3

The volume charge density for the sphere is 2.62898\times 10^{-6}\ C/m^3

E=\dfrac{kQr}{R^3}\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{8.99\times 10^9\times 7.04783\times 10^{-10}\times 0.02}{0.04^3}\\\Rightarrow E=1979.99974\ N/C

The magnitude of the electric field is 1979.99974\ N/C

A bird flies 3.7 meters in 46 seconds, what is its speed?
victus00 [196]

Answer:

Speed is 0.08 m/s.

Explanation:

Given the distance that the bird flies = 3.7 meters

The time is taken by the bird to fly the 3.7 meters = 46 seconds  

We have given distance and time. Now we have to find the speed at which the bird flies. So, to calculate the speed of the bird we have to divide the distance by the time.  

Below is the formula to find the speed.

Speed = Distance / Time

Now insert the given value in the formula.

Speed = 3.7 / 46 = 0.08 m/s

A Ferris wheel on a California pier is 27 m high and rotates once every 32 seconds in the counterclockwise direction. When the w
Leto [7]

A) 140 degrees

First of all, we need to find the angular velocity of the Ferris wheel. We know that its period is

T = 32 s

So the angular velocity is

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}=\frac{2\pi}{32 s}=0.20 rad/s

Assuming the wheel is moving at constant angular velocity, we can now calculate the angular displacement with respect to the initial position:

\theta= \omega t

and substituting t = 75 seconds, we find

\theta= (0.20 rad/s)(75 s)=15 rad

In degrees, it is

15 rad: x = 2\pi rad : 360^{\circ}\\
x=\frac{(15 rad)(360^{\circ})}{2\pi}=860^{\circ} = 140^{\circ}

So, the new position is 140 degrees from the initial position at the top.

B) 2.7 m/s

The tangential speed, v, of a point at the egde of the wheel is given by

v=\omega r

where we have

\omega=0.20 rad/s

r = d/2 = (27 m)/2=13.5 m is the radius of the wheel

Substituting into the equation, we find

v=(0.20 rad/s)(13.5 m)=2.7 m/s
