Answer:

(a) Electric field at 0.250 m is zero.

(b)  Electric field at 2.90 m is zero.

(c) Electric field at 3.10 m is - 5.15 x 10³ V/m.

(d) Electric field at 8.00 m is - 0.77 x 10³ V/m.

Explanation:

Let Q and R are the charge and radius of the solid metal sphere. The solid metal sphere behave as conductor, so total charge Q is on the surface of the sphere.

Electric field inside and outside the metal sphere is :

E = 0 for r ≤ R ( inside )

  = \frac{KQ}{r^{2} } for r > R ( outside )

Here K is electric constant and r is the distance from the center of the metal sphere.

(a) Electric field at 0.250 m is zero as r < R i.e. 0.250 m < 3 m from the above equation.

(b)  Electric field at 2.90 m is zero as r < R i.e. 2.90 m < 3 m from the above equation.

(c) Electric field at 3.10 m is given by the relation as r > R :

E = \frac{KQ}{r^{2} }

Substitute 9 x 10⁹ N m²/C² for K, -5.50 μC for Q and 3.10 m for r in the above equation.

E = - \frac{9\times10^{9}\times5.50\times10^{-6}  }{3.10^{2} }

E = - 5.15 x 10³ V/m

(d) Electric field at 8.00 m is given by the relation as r > R :

E = \frac{KQ}{r^{2} }

Substitute 9 x 10⁹ N m²/C² for K, -5.50 μC for Q and 8.00 m for r in the above equation.

E = - \frac{9\times10^{9}\times5.50\times10^{-6}  }{8^{2} }

E = - 0.77 x 10³ V/m

serg [7]

Air drag is the frictional force which is due to air molecules and it is always opposite to the direction of motion

So here direction of air resistance is always opposite to the motion or velocity

Now if Car is travelling then the force on the car due to engine is always in the direction of velocity of car

Because here engine will provide the force to accelerate the car.

So opposite to that motion there is air resistance.

So here correct answer will be

<em>B) The forward force applied by the engine</em>

Which of the following lies in the ecliptic plane?
babymother [125]
<h2>Answer: Earth's orbital path around the Sun</h2><h2></h2>

The <u>Ecliptic</u> refers to the orbit of the Earth around the Sun. Therefore, <u>for an observer on Earth it will be the apparent path of the Sun in the sky during the year, with respect to the "immobile background" of the other stars.</u>

<u />

It should be noted that the ecliptic plane (which is the same orbital plane of the Earth in its translation movement) is tilted with respect to the equator of the planet about 23\° approximately. This is due to the inclination of the Earth's axis.

Hence, the correct option is Earth's orbital path around the Sun.

The stopping distances associated with slower speeds approximate the forward visibilities provided by low beam lights. However,
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

Illumination distance is the distance, up to which the light of the vehicle can reach. Hence, it is a maximum distance from the, that driver can see.

Stopping distance is the minimum distance required by the car to stop after brakes are applied.

So, in order to avoid any accident the illumination distance must be greater than the stopping distance. So, the driver can stop the vehicle in time, when he sees something in front of it.

Since, the stopping distance in this case is two or three times longer than illumination distance. Therefore, low beam light does not provide enough visibility in high speed driving situations.

Hence, the correct option is:

<u>a. True</u>

<u></u>
