The origin of an x axis is placed at the center of a nonconducting solid sphere of radius R that carries a charge +qsphere distr

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

$q=49Q/64$

and

$x =16R/15$

Explanation:

See attached figure.

$E_{Q}=$ E due to sphere

$E_{q}=$ E due to particule

$E_{total}=E_{Q}-E_{q}=0$ (1)

according to the law of gauss and superposition Law:

$E_{Q}=E_{1}+E_{2}=E_{2}$ ; electric field due to the small sphere with r1=R/4

$E_{Q}=kq_{2}/(r_{1}^{2})=$

$q_{2}=density*4/3*pi*r_{1}^{3}=Q/(4/3*pi*R^{3})*4/3*pi*r_{1}^{3}=Q*r_{1}^{3}/R^{3}$

then: $E_{Q}=kq_{2}/(r_{1}^{2})=k*Q*r_{1}^{3}/(R^{3}*r_{1}^{2}) = kQ/(4*R^{2})$ (2)

on the other hand, for the particule:

$E_{q}=kq/(r_{p}^{2})$

$r_{p}=2R-R/4=7R/4$ ⇒ $E_{q}=16kq/(49R^{2})$ (3)

We replace (2) y (3) in (1):

$E_{total}=E_{Q}-E_{q}=0=kQ/(4*R^{2}) - 49kq/(16R^{2})$

$q=49Q/64$

--------------------

if R<x<2R AND $E_{total}=E_{Q}-E_{q}=0$

$E_{total}=E_{Q}-E_{q}=0=kQ/(x^{2}) - kq/(2R-x^{2})$

remember that $q=49Q/64$

then:

$Q(2R-x^{2})=49/64*x^{2}$

solving:

$x_{1} =16R/15$

$x_{2} =16R$

but: R<x<2R

so : $x =16R/15$

How can you change the phases of matter using thermal energy

Leokris [45]

Answer:

These energy exchanges are not changes in kinetic energy. They are changes in bonding energy between the molecules. If heat is coming into a substance during a phase change, then this energy is used to break the bonds between the molecules of the substance.

A car drives for 30 km with a speed of 30m/s. How much time does it take the car to travel this distance?

Artist 52 [7]

   Time = (distance) / (speed)

   = (30 km) / (30 m/s)

   = (30,000 m) / (30 m/s)

   = (30,000 / 30) sec

   =    1,000 seconds

   =    16 minutes 40 seconds

The length of a simple pendulum is 0.66 m, the pendulum bob has a mass of 310 grams, and it is released at an angle of 12 degree

lina2011 [118]

A) the periodic time is given by the equation;
T= 2π√(L/g)
For the frequency will be obtained by 1/T (Hz)
T = 2 × 3.14 √ (0.66/9.81)
= 6.28 × √0.0673
= 1.6289 Seconds
Frequency = 1/T = f = 1/1.6289
thus; frequency = 0.614 Hz

b) The vertical distance, the height is given by
h= 0.66 cos 12
h = 0.65 m
Vertical fall at the lowest point = 0.66 - 0.65 = 0.01 m
Applying conservation of energy
energy lost (MgΔh) = KE gained (1/2mv²)
mgh = 1/2mv²
v² = 2gΔh = 2×9.81 × 0.01
= 0.1962
v = 0.443 m/s

c) total energy = KE + GPE = KE when GPE is equal to zero (at the lowest point possible)
Thus total energy is equal to;
E = 1/2mv²
= 1/2 × 0.310 × 0.443²
= 0.0304 J

What is a magnet?<br>just the basic definition

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

A magnet is a material or object that produces a magnetic field. This magnetic field is invisible but is responsible for the most notable property of a magnet: a force that pulls on other ferromagnetic materials, such as iron, steel, nickel, cobalt, etc. and attracts or repels other magnets.
