Answer:

1408.685 KN/C

Explanation:

Given:

R = 0.45 m

σ = 175 μC/m²

P is located a distance a = 0.75 m

k = 8.99*10^9

  • The Electric Field Strength E of a uniformly solid disk of charge at distance a perpendicular to disk is given by:

                                  E = 2*pi*k*o * (1 - \frac{a}{\sqrt{a^2 + R^2} })\\

part a)

Electric Field strength at point P: a = 0.75 m

E = 2*pi*8.99*10^9*175*10^-6 * (1 - \frac{0.75}{\sqrt{0.75^2 + 0.45^2} })\\\\E = 9885021.285*(0.1425070743)\\\\E = 1408.685 KN/C

part b)

Since, R >> a, we can approximate a / R = 0 ,

Hence, E simplified relation becomes:

E = 2*pi*k*o * (1 - \frac{a/R}{\sqrt{a^2/R^2 + 1} })\\\\E = 2*pi*k*o * (1 - \frac{0}{\sqrt{0 + 1} })\\\\E = 2*pi*k*o

E = σ / 2*e_o

part c)

Since, a >> R, we can approximate. that the uniform disc of charge becomes a single point charge:

Electric Field strength due to point charge is:

E = k*δ*pi*R^2 / a^2  

Since, R << a, Surface area = δ*pi

Hence,

E = (k*δ*pi/a^2)

What the kinetic energy quantities in calculation pls help me​
Rashid [163]

Answer:

KE = 0.5 * m * v², where: m - mass, v - velocity.

Explanation:

In classical mechanics, kinetic energy (KE) is equal to half of an object's mass (1/2*m) multiplied by the velocity squared. For example, if a an object with a mass of 10 kg (m = 10 kg) is moving at a velocity of 5 meters per second (v = 5 m/s), the kinetic energy is equal to 125 Joules, or (1/2 * 10 kg) * 5 m/s 2.

A clam dropped by a seagull takes 3.0 seconds to hit the ground. What is the seagull's approximate height above the ground at th
ankoles [38]
<h2>The seagull's approximate height above the ground at the time the clam was dropped is 4 m</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

        Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

        Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²  

        Time, t = 3 s      

     Substituting

                      s = ut + 0.5 at²

                      s = 0 x 3 + 0.5 x 9.81 x 3²

                      s = 44.145 m

The seagull's approximate height above the ground at the time the clam was dropped is 4 m
