Answer:

Option (e) = The charge can be located anywhere since flux does not depend on the position of the charge as long as it is inside the sphere.

Explanation:

So, we are given the following set of infomation in the question given above;

=> "spherical Gaussian surface of radius R centered at the origin."

=> " A charge Q is placed inside the sphere."

So, the question is that if we are to maximize the magnitude of the flux of the electric field through the Gaussian surface, the charge should be located where?

The CORRECT option (e) that is " The charge can be located anywhere since flux does not depend on the position of the charge as long as it is inside the sphere." Is correct because of the reason given below;

REASON: because the charge is "covered" and the position is unknown, the flux will continue to be constant.

Also, the Equation that defines Gauss' law does not specify the position that the charge needs to be located, therefore it can be anywhere.

By what factor would your weight be multiplied if the earth were1/2 as massavise and the diameter was unchanged
Nutka1998 [239]
<span>Let F be the force of gravity, G be the gravitational constant, M be the mass of the earth, m your mass and r the radius of the earth, then: 

F = G(Mm / (4(pi)*r^2)) 

The above expression gives the force that you feel on the earth's surface, as it is today! 

Let us now double the mass of the earth and decrease its diameter to half its original size. 

This is the same as replacing M with 2M and r with r/2. 

Now the gravitational force (F' ) on the new earth's surface is given by: 

F' = G(2Mm / (4(pi)(r/2)^2)) = 2G(Mm / ((1/4)*4(pi)*r^2)) = 8G(Mm / (4(pi)*r^2)) = 8F 

So: 

F' = 8F 

This implies that the force that you would feel pulling you down (your weight) would increase by 800%! 

You would be 8 times heavier on this "new" earth!</span>

An arrow is shot vertically upward at a rate of 250ft/s. Use the projectile formula h=−16t2+v0t to determine at what time(s), in
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The arrow is at a height of 500 feet at time t = 2.35 seconds.

Explanation:

It is given that,

An arrow is shot vertically upward at a rate of 250 ft/s, v₀ = 250 ft/s

The projectile formula is given by :

h=-16t^2+v_ot

We need to find the time(s), in seconds, the arrow is at a height of 500 ft. So,

-16t^2+250t=500

On solving the above quadratic equation, we get the value of t as, t = 2.35 seconds

So, the arrow is at a height of 500 feet at time t = 2.35 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.
