Answer:

    Ea = 3.2 10⁵ N / C

Explanation:

To calculate the electric field of each plane we will use Gauss's law, we create a Gaussian surface that is a cylinder that has the axis perpendicular to the plane, in this case the flow line between the cylinder walls and the surface is zero and all the flow is perpendicular to the base of the cylinder.

We apply the law of gauss flow to each side is the value of the electric field (E) for the area of ​​the cylinder (A); whereby the flow in the two directions is 2 E A

                 Φ = 2E A = ρₙt / εo

Where ρₙ is the charge inside the cylinder, as the charge density gives us, σ = Q / A

                 ρₙ = σ A

     By which we can clear the electric field

                E = σ A / 2εo

where it is worth 8.85 10⁻¹² C² / N² m². Let's calculate with this equation in the field for each plane

1  plane    σ= -2.0 pC / m²

               E1 = -2. 10⁻¹² / 2 8.85 10⁻¹²

               E1 = -0.113 N / C

The field line is directed to the plane

2 Plane    σ = 5.8 mC / m2

             

               E2 = 5.8 10-6 / 2 8.85 10-12

               E2 = 3,277 10 5 N / A

Field lines leave the plane

As we have the values ​​of each field in the whole space. Let's calculate in the field at the point x = 1 m

   To do this we must add the fields at the selected point vectorally, for this distance the point is between the two planes, so the field of plane 1 points to the left and the point of plane 2 also points to the left, consequently field adds

               Ea = E1 + E2

               Ea = 0.113 + 3.277 10⁵

               Ea = 3.2 10⁵ N / C

At point X = -1 m in this case the point is on plane 1, so this plane does not generate any field, it is an equipotential surface, the total field is equal to field 2

              Ea = E1 = 3.2 10⁵ N / C

Note that there is no difference in numbers values ​​by the difference between the load between each plane

explain how the composition of a star that will form a billon years in the future will differ the composition of our sun.
Grace [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Basically the star slowly burns its hydrogen into Helium. Depending on the mass, the star will have a turbulent core where the Helium will be fully mixed or a radiative core where the helium will settle at the centre (remember it's heavier than Hydrogen). The second case is what happens in the Sun.

A rock is thrown off a 50.0 m high cliff. How fast must the rock leave the cliff top to land on level ground below, 90 m from th
blagie [28]

Answer:

The rock must leave the cliff at a velocity of 28.2 m/s

Explanation:

The position vector of the rock at a time t can be calculated using the following equation:

r = (x0 + v0x · t, y0 + 1/2 · g · t²)

Where:

r = position vector at time t.

x0 = initial horizontal position.

v0x = initial horizontal velocity.

t = time.

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.81 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive).

Please, see the attached figure for a graphical description of the problem. Notice that the origin of the frame of reference is located at the edge of the cliff so that x0 and y0 = 0.

When the rock reaches the ground, the position vector will be (see r1 in the figure):

r1 = (90 m, -50 m)

Then, using the equation of the vector position written above:

90 m = x0 + v0x · t

-50 m = y0 + 1/2 · g · t²

Since x0 and y0 = 0:

90 m = v0x · t

-50 m = 1/2 · g · t²

Let´s use the equation of the y-component of the vector r1 to find the time it takes the rock to reach the ground and with that time we can calculate v0x:

-50 m = 1/2 · g · t²

-50 m = -1/2 · 9.81 m/s² · t²

-50 m / -1/2 · 9.81 m/s² = t²

t = 3.19 s

Now, using the equation of the x-component of r1:

90 m = v0x · t

90 m = v0x · 3.19 s

v0x = 90 m / 3.19 s

v0x = 28.2 m/s
