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

Amy is standing still on the ground; Bill is riding his bicycle at 5 m/s eastward; and Carlos is driving his car at 15 m/s westw
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

20 m/s westward

Explanation:

Taking eastward as positive direction, we have:

v_B = +5 m/s is the velocity of Bill with respect to Amy (which is stationary)

v_C = -15 m/s is the velocity of Carlos with respect to Amy

Bill is moving 5 m/s eastward compared to Amy at rest, so the velocity of Bill's reference frame is

v_B = +5 m/s

Therefore, Carlos velocity in Bill's reference frame will be

v_C' = v_C - v_B = -15 m/s - (+5 m/s) = -20 m/s

and the direction will be westward (negative sign).

In a pool game, the cue ball, which has an initial speed of 3.0 m/s, make an elastic collision with the eight ball, which is ini
zhenek [66]

Explanation:

Given

initial speed(u)=3 m/s

mass of each ball is m

Let the cue ball is moving in x direction initially

In elastic collision Energy and momentum is conserved

Let u be the initial velocity and v_1 , v_2 be the final velocity of 8 ball and cue ball respectively

\frac{mu^2}{2}+0=\frac{mv^2_1}{2}+\frac{mv^2_2}{2}

The angle after which cue ball is deflected is given by

\theta _1=90-40=50^{\circ}

Conserving momentum in x direction

mu=mv_1cos40+mv_2cos50

3=v_1cos40+v_2cos50

Along Y axis

0+0=v_1sin40-v_2sin50

v_1sin40=v_2sin50

substitute the value of v_1

we get v_2=1.912 m/s

v_1=2.27 m/s
