Answer:

The maximum speed of sonic at the bottom of the hill is equal to 19.85m/s and the spring constant of the spring is equal to (497.4xmass of sonic) N/m

Energy approach has been used to sole the problem.

The points of interest for the analysis of the problem are point 1 the top of the hill and point 2 the bottom of the hill just before hitting the spring

The maximum velocity of sonic is independent of the his mass or the geometry. It is only depends on the vertical distance involved

Explanation:

The step by step solution to the problem can be found in the attachment below. The principle of energy conservation has been applied to solve the problem. This means that if energy disappears in one form it will appear in another.

As in this problem, the potential and kinetic energy at the top of the hill were converted to only kinetic energy at the bottom of the hill. This kinetic energy too got converted into elastic potential energy .

x = compression of the spring = 0.89

A spherical, conducting shell of inner radius r1= 10 cm and outer radius r2 = 15 cm carries a total charge Q = 15 μC . What is t
lutik1710 [3]

a) E = 0

b) 3.38\cdot 10^6 N/C

Explanation:

a)

We can solve this problem using Gauss theorem: the electric flux through a Gaussian surface of radius r must be equal to the charge contained by the sphere divided by the vacuum permittivity:

\int EdS=\frac{q}{\epsilon_0}

where

E is the electric field

q is the charge contained by the Gaussian surface

\epsilon_0 is the vacuum permittivity

Here we want to find the electric field at a distance of

r = 12 cm = 0.12 m

Here we are between the inner radius and the outer radius of the shell:

r_1 = 10 cm\\r_2 = 15 cm

However, we notice that the shell is conducting: this means that the charge inside the conductor will distribute over its outer surface.

This means that a Gaussian surface of radius r = 12 cm, which is smaller than the outer radius of the shell, will contain zero net charge:

q = 0

Therefore, the magnitude of the electric field is also zero:

E = 0

b)

Here we want to find the magnitude of the electric field at a distance of

r = 20 cm = 0.20 m

from the centre of the shell.

Outside the outer surface of the shell, the electric field is equivalent to that produced by a single-point charge of same magnitude Q concentrated at the centre of the shell.

Therefore, it is given by:

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

where in this problem:

Q=15 \mu C = 15\cdot 10^{-6} C is the charge on the shell

r=20 cm = 0.20 m is the distance from the centre of the shell

Substituting, we find:

E=\frac{15\cdot 10^{-6}}{4\pi (8.85\cdot 10^{-12})(0.20)^2}=3.38\cdot 10^6 N/C

An ant crawls 50 cm to the right, stops, and then crawls 30 cm to the left. Calculate the distance that the ant travels, and cal
borishaifa [10]

Answer and Explanation:

If the ant was to crawl 50cm to the right, then come back 30 cm, then the total distance walked would be <u>80cm</u>.

- Combine 50cm and 30cm to get 80 cm.

For displacement, the answer is <u>20 cm.</u>

- When calculating displacement, you use the initial (starting) distance. and subtract that from the final distance, giving you the displacement, or the amount traveled from the starting point to the final point if you were to make a straight line from the starting point to end point. (0 to 50, then back 30 the same direction, so subtract 30 from 50 to get 20)

What is displacement
saveliy_v [14]
This is what wiki says hope it helps
A displacement is a vector whose length is the shortest distance from the initial to the final position of a point P.[1] It quantifies both the distance and direction of an imaginary motion along a straight line from the initial position to the final position of the point.

A displacement may be also described as a 'relative position': the final position of a point (Sf) relative to its initial position (Si), and a displacement vector can be mathematically defined as the difference between the final and initial position vectors:
