Galileo discovered that gravity affects acceleration of objects regardless of their mass. The cannon balls were different weights and were dropped from different heights yet both balls landed at the same time.

The upward force on an airplane's wing is thrust.

kompoz [17]

No. 'Thrust' is what most people in aviation call the force
that pushes the aircraft forward.

The same people generally call the upward force on the wing "lift".

A solid sphere of radius 40.0cm has a total positive charge of 26.0μC uniformly distributed throughout its volume. Calculate the

Rudiy27

The magnitude of the electric field for 60 cm is 6.49 × 10^5 N/C

R(radius of the solid sphere)=(60cm)( 1m /100cm)=0.6m

$Q\;(\text{total charge of the solid sphere})=(26\;\mathrm{\mu C})\left(\dfrac{1\;\mathrm{C}}{10^6\;\mathrm{\mu C}} \right)={26\times 10^{-6}\;\mathrm{C}}$

Since the Gaussian sphere of radius r>R encloses all the charge of the sphere similar to the situation in part (c), we can use Equation (6) to find the magnitude of the electric field:

$E=\dfrac{Q}{4\pi\epsilon_0 r^2}$

Substitute numerical values:

$E&=\dfrac{24\times 10^{-6}}{4\pi (8.8542\times 10^{-12})(0.6)}\\ &={6.49\times 10^5\;\mathrm{N/C}\;\text{directed radially outward}}}$

The spherical Gaussian surface is chosen so that it is concentric with the charge distribution.

As an example, consider a charged spherical shell S of negligible thickness, with a uniformly distributed charge Q and radius R. We can use Gauss's law to find the magnitude of the resultant electric field E at a distance r from the center of the charged shell. It is immediately apparent that for a spherical Gaussian surface of radius r < R the enclosed charge is zero: hence the net flux is zero and the magnitude of the electric field on the Gaussian surface is also 0 (by letting QA = 0 in Gauss's law, where QA is the charge enclosed by the Gaussian surface).
