To solve this problem we will use the concept of electric field, with which we will make the proportional comparison as we move away from the center. So we have the maximum electric field is given as,

E_{max} = \frac{kQ}{R^2}

Where,

Q = Charge

R = Radius

Electric field inside the sphere is given as,

\frac{kQ}{R^2} = \frac{1}{2}\frac{kQ}{R^2}

R'=\sqrt{2}R

R' = 3\sqrt{2}

R' = 4.2cm

Electric field outside the sphere is given as,

\frac{kQ}{2R^2} = \frac{1}{2}\frac{kQ}{R^3}r

\frac{1}{2} = \frac{r'}{R}

\Rightarrow \frac{R}{2} = \frac{3}{2} = 1.5cm

Therefore the possible values are 3.5cm and 9.9cm: The correct answer is D.

For a caffeinated drink with a caffeine mass percent of 0.65% and a density of 1.00 g/mL, how many mL of the drink would be requ
slava [35]

Explanation:

First we will convert the given mass from lb to kg as follows.

        157 lb = 157 lb \times \frac{1 kg}{2.2046 lb}

                   = 71.215 kg

Now, mass of caffeine required for a person of that mass at the LD50 is as follows.

         180 \frac{mg}{kg} \times 71.215 kg

         = 12818.7 mg

Convert the % of (w/w) into % (w/v) as follows.

      0.65% (w/w) = \frac{0.65 g}{100 g}

                           = \frac{0.65 g}{(\frac{100 g}{1.0 g/ml})}

                           = \frac{0.65 g}{100 ml}

Therefore, calculate the volume which contains the amount of caffeine as follows.

   12818.7 mg = 12.8187 g = \frac{12.8187 g}{\frac{0.65 g}{100 ml}}

                       = 1972 ml

Thus, we can conclude that 1972 ml of the drink would be required to reach an LD50 of 180 mg/kg body mass if the person weighed 157 lb.

Finger [1]

Answer:

Ultraviolet radiation would yield more electrical energy

Explanation:

The reason for the ultraviolet to generate more energy is that there would be getting more electrons per unit of time the photovoltaic cell, due to the higher frequency of the ultraviolet in comparison with the infrared radiation.

The infrared spectrum goes from 300 GHz (10^9 Hertz) to 400 THz or (10^12 Hertz).

The ultraviolet spectrum goes from 800 THz to 30.000 THz or (10^12 Hertz). This kind of radiation is responsible for skin burn from the sun and it´s the “ most usable” part from the sunlight in a photovoltaic cell.
