A long, straight wire is surrounded by a hollow metal cylinder whose axis coincides with that of the wire. The wire has a charge
Alexxx [7]

Explanation:

It is given that, a long, straight wire is surrounded by a hollow metal cylinder whose axis coincides with that of the wire.

The charge per unit length of the wire is \lambda and the net charge per unit length is 2 \lambda.

We know that there exist zero electric field inside the metal cylinder.

(a) Using Gauss's law to find the charge per unit length on the inner and outer surfaces of the cylinder. Let \lambda_i\ and\ \lambda_o are the charge per unit length on the inner and outer surfaces of the cylinder.

For inner surface,

\phi=\dfrac{q_{enclosed}}{\epsilon_o}

E.A=\dfrac{q_{enclosed}}{\epsilon_o}

0=\dfrac{\lambda_i+\lambda}{\epsilon_o}

\lambda_i=-\lambda  

For outer surface,

\lambda_i+\lambda_o=2\lambda

-\lambda+\lambda_o=2\lambda

\lambda_o=3\lambda

(b) Let E is the electric field outside the cylinder, a distance r from the axis. It is given by :

E_o=\dfrac{\lambda_o}{2\pi \epsilon_o r}

E_o=\dfrac{3\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_o r}

Hence, this is the required solution.

A 560-g squirrel with a surface area of 930cm2 falls from a 5.0-m tree to the ground. Estimate its terminal velocity. (Use a dra
bija089 [108]

Explanation:

Terminal velocity is given by:

v_t=\sqrt{\frac{2mg}{\rho C_dA}}

Here, m is the mass of the falling object, g is the gravitational acceleration,  C_d is the drag coefficient, \rho is the fluid density through which the object is falling, and A is the projected area of the object. in this case the projected area is given by:

A=\frac{A_s}{2}=\frac{930cm^2}{2}=465cm^2\\465cm^2*\frac{1m^2}{10^4cm^2}=0.0465m^2\\560g*\frac{1kg}{10^3g}=0.56kg

Recall that drag coefficient for a horizontal skydiver is equal to 1 and air density is 1.28\frac{kg}{m^3}.

v_t=\sqrt{\frac{2(0.56kg)(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})}{(1.28\frac{kg}{m^3}(1)(0.0465m^2)}}\\v_t=13.58\frac{m}{s}

Without drag contribution the motion of the person is an uniformly accelerated motion, thus:

v_f^2=v_o^2+2gh\\v_f=\sqrt{2gh}\\v_f=\sqrt{2(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})(5m)}\\v_f=9.9\frac{m}{s}

Tectonic plates move due to _____ forces.
wel
<span>Tectonic plates move because they are floating on top of the liquid mantle. The mantle itself moves due to convection currents: hot rock rises, gives off some heat, then falls. This creates vast swirls of moving liquid rock under the crust of the earth, which jostles the plates of crust on top.
