A cubical shell with edges of length a is positioned so that two adjacent sides of one face are coincident with the +x and +y ax

es of a rectangular coordinate system and the corner formed by these two sides is at the origin. An electric field of magnitude E=bx2 directed along the +x axis exists in this region.
1.How much charge is contained in the volume of the shell?
2.Express your answer in terms of the variables a, b, and the permittivity constant ϵ0.

Answer: Q = ba⁴ * ε₀

Explanation:

Remember, Gauss's Law states that:

"The net electric flux through any hypothetical closed surface is equal to 1/ε₀ times the net electric charge within that closed surface" i.e

flux Φ = Q / ε₀ where

ε₀ = 8.85e-12 C²/N·m²

Also, the flux, Φ = EAcosθ, where

E = magnitude of the electric field in V/m

A = area of the surface in m²

θ = angle between the electric field lines and the normal (perpendicular) to S.

The field is directed along the x-axis, so all of the flux passes through the side of the cube at x = a. This means that θ = 0º. Thus,

Φ = EA

Then, E = bx² and we're interested in the point where x = a, so if we substitute x for a, we have

E = ba²

Since A = a² for the cube face, we have

Q / ε₀ = ba² * a²

so

Q = ba⁴ * ε₀

Why is a spectrum of colors produced when white light passes through a prism?

Mkey [24]

Explanation: White light is all colors of light in one, so when white light passes through a prism, the light gets refracted and breaks apart into all of the colors on the visible light spectrum.

Darya [45]

<span>As a car drives with its tires rolling freely without any slippage, the type of friction acting between the tires and the road is kinetic friction.

We exert force to move the object from rest and in this case, static friction works. But, when the object comes in motion, then kinetic friction works. Here, since the car is driving without slipping means, kinetic friction acts on it. Its also called sliding or dynamic friction.</span>

An object is placed on a surface. A student tries to apply various combinations of forces on the object. Which pair of forces wi

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

The question is incomplete, as there are no diagrams or options to provide more information to the question.

The general explanation is as follows:

For the object not to move

(1): The forces acting on the object must opposite each other. i.e. if force A acts at the right (or positive direction), force B will act at the left (or negative direction).

(2) The two forces must be equal.

So, for instance:

If the pair of forces are 5N and 5N in opposite directions, the object wil not move.

However, if one of the forces is greater, the object will move towards the direction of the greater force.

A projectile is fired horizontally from a height of 78.4 m at a speed of 300 m/sec. How far did it travel horizontally before hi

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using the formula for calculating range expressed as;

R = U√2H/g

U is the speed = 300m/s

H is the maximum height = 78.4m

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

Substitute into the fromula;

R = 300√2(78.4)/9.8

R = 300 √(16)

R = 300*4

R = 1200m

Hence the projectile travelled 1200m before hitting the ground

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

the spring constant k = $5.409*10^4 \ N/m$

the value for the damping constant $\\ \\b = 1.518 *10^3 \ kg/s$

Explanation:

From Hooke's Law

$F = kx\\\\k =\frac{F}{x}\\\\where \ F = mg\\\\k = \frac{mg}{x}\\\\given \ that:\\\\mass \ of \ each \ wheel = 425 \ kg\\\\x = 7.7cm = 0.077 m\\\\g = 9.8 \ m/s^2\\\\Then;\\\\k = \frac{425 \ kg * 9.8 \ m/s^2}{0.077 \ m}\\\\k = 5.409*10^4 \ N/m$

Thus; the spring constant k = $5.409*10^4 \ N/m$

The amplitude is decreasing 37% during one period of the motion

$e^{\frac{-bT}{2m}}= \frac{37}{100}\\\\e^{\frac{-bT}{2m}}= 0.37\\\\\frac{-bT}{2m} = In(0.37)\\\\\frac{-bT}{2m} = -0.9943\\\\b = \frac{2m(0.9943)}{T}\\\\b = \frac{2m(0.9943)}{\frac{2 \pi}{\omega}}\\\\b = \frac{m(0.9943) \ ( \omega) )}{ \pi}$

$b = \frac{m(0.9943)(\sqrt{\frac{k}{m})}}{\pi}\\\\b = \frac{425*(0.9943)(\sqrt{\frac{5.409*10^4}{425}) } }{3.14}\\\\b = 1518.24 \ kg/s\\\\b = 1.518 *10^3 \ kg/s$

Therefore; the value for the damping constant $\\ \\b = 1.518 *10^3 \ kg/s$
