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)

A man starts walking north at 2 ft/s from a point p. five minutes later a woman starts walking south at 4 ft/s from a point 500
icang [17]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

After 5 minutes (300 seconds):
The man travels north by (2 ft/s)*(300 s) = 600 ft
The woman, located at q, 500 east of p, begins walking south at 4 ft/s.
The distance separating them is
d₁ = √(600² + 500²) = 781.025 ft

After 20 minutes:
The man has traveled for 20 minutes (1200 s).
The woman has traveled for 15 minutes (900 s).
The man has moved (2 ft/s)*(1200 s) = 2400 ft north of p.
The woman has moved (4 ft/s)*(900 s) = 3600 ft south of q.
The distance separating them is
d₂ = √(6000² + 500²) = 6020.8 ft

The separation from d₁ to d₂ occurs in 15 minutes (900s).
Therefore the rate of separation is
Rate = (d₂ - d₁ ft)/(900 s) = (6020.8 - 781.025)/900 = 5.822 ft/s
or
Rate = (5.822 ft/s)*(60 s/min) = 349.32 ft/min

Answer: 349.32 ft/min (or 5.82 ft/s)

Here is something to blow your mind. In one slice of "everything" pizza there are 650 Calories (1000 chemistry calories). That e
amid [387]

Answer:

Number of slices of pizza is 993.

Explanation:

It is given that,  in one slice of "everything" pizza there are 650 Calories. The conversion factor from calories to joules is :

1 calorie = 4.184 joules

650 calories = 2719.6 joules

Total energy in the pizza, E = 2700000 J

Let there are n number of slices of pizza. It is given by :

n=\dfrac{2700000}{2719.6}

n = 992.79

or

n = 993

So, there are 993 slices of pizza. Hence, this is the required solution.

A body cycles continously through a distance of 10km in 5 mins. calculate its average speed​
stira [4]

Answer:

distance=10km=10*1000=10000m

time=5min=5*60=300sec

average speed=distance/time

= 10000/300=33.33m/s
