Answer:

E   = α/2∈₀ [ 1 - a²/r² ]

Ф = α/2∈₀

Explanation:

Using Gauss Law:

    ρ(r) = a/r, dA

          = 4 π r²d r

    Ф = \int\limits^r_a ρ(r')dA

    Ф_{encl} = \int\limits^r_a ρ(r')dA

             = 4πα \int\limits^r_a r'dr'

Ф_{encl}     = 4 π α 1/2(r²-a²)

E(4πr²) = 2\pi\alpha  (r^{2}-a^{2}  )/∈₀

           = 2\pi\alpha  (r^{2}-a^{2}  )/∈₀(4πr²)

           = α (r² - a²) / 2 ∈₀ (r²)

           = α/2∈₀ [ r²/r² - a²/r² ]

      E   = α/2∈₀ [ 1 - a²/r² ]

Electric field of the point charge:

E_{q} = q / 4π∈₀r²

E_{total} = α / 2 ∈₀ - (α / 2 ∈₀ )(a² / r²) + q / 4 π ∈₀ r²

For E_{total}  to be constant:

- (αa²/ 2 ∈₀ ) + q / 4 π ∈₀ = 0 and q = 2παa²

-> α / 2 ∈₀ - αa²/ 2 ∈₀ + 2παa² / 4 π ∈₀

= α - αa² + αa² / 2 ∈₀

= α /2 ∈₀

Hence:

Ф = α/2∈₀

The property of matter that resists changes in motion is
vredina [299]

Answer:

Inertia

Explanation:

Inertia is the property that any physical object has of remaining in its state of relative motion. Therefore, it is the resistance that opposes matter to modify its state of motion, which includes changes in speed or changes in the direction of movement.

A skateboarder flies horizontally off a cement planter. After 3 seconds the skateboarder lands on the ground with a final veloci
evablogger [386]

Given the time, the final velocity and the acceleration, we can calculate the initial velocity using the kinematic equation A:

v = v_o + a \Delta t

A skateboarder flies horizontally off a cement planter. After a time of 3 seconds (Δt), he lands with a final velocity (v) of −4.5 m/s. Assuming the acceleration is -9.8 m/s² (a), we can calculate the initial velocity of the skateboarder (v₀) using the kinematic equation A.

v = v_o + a \Delta t\\\\v_o = v - a \Delta t = (-4.5 m/s) - (-9.8 m/s^{2} ) \times 3 s = 24.9 m/s

Given the time, the final velocity and the acceleration, we can calculate the initial velocity using the kinematic equation A:

v = v_o + a \Delta t

What does convection mean
Sladkaya [172]
Convection is the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in transfer of heat
