Protons and neutrons have very nearly the same mass ... equal to the mass of more than 1800 electrons.

Neutrinos have virtually zero mass .

The "size" of any of these is meaningless. They're waves, not little ping-pong balls

If you MUST make a choice, pick C.

A thick, spherical shell made of solid metal has an inner radius a = 0.18 m and an outer radius b = 0.46 m, and is initially unc

KonstantinChe [14]

(a) $E(r) = \frac{q}{4\pi \epsilon_0 r^2}$

We can solve the different part of the problem by using Gauss theorem.

Considering a Gaussian spherical surface with radius r<a (inside the shell), we can write:

$E(r) \cdot 4\pi r^2 = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0}$

where q is the charge contained in the spherical surface, so

$q=5.00 C$

Solving for E(r), we find the expression of the field for r<a:

$E(r) = \frac{q}{4\pi \epsilon_0 r^2}$

(b) 0

The electric field strength in the region a < r < b is zero. This is due to the fact that the charge +q placed at the center of the shell induces an opposite charge -q on the inner surface of the shell (r=a), while the outer surface of the shell (r=b) will acquire a net charge of +q.

So, if we use Gauss theorem for the region a < r < b, we get

$E(r) \cdot 4\pi r^2 = \frac{q'}{\epsilon_0}$

however, the charge q' contained in the Gaussian sphere of radius r is now the sum of the charge at the centre (+q) and the charge induced on the inner surface of the shell (-q), so

q' = + q - q = 0

And so we find

E(r) = 0

(c) $E(r) = \frac{q}{4\pi \epsilon_0 r^2}$

We can use again Gauss theorem:

$E(r) \cdot 4\pi r^2 = \frac{q'}{\epsilon_0}$ (1)

where this time r > b (outside the shell), so the gaussian surface this time contained:

- the charge +q at the centre

- the inner surface, with a charge of -q

- the outer surface, with a charge of +q

So the net charge is

q' = +q -q +q = +q

And so solving (1) we find

$E(r) = \frac{q}{4\pi \epsilon_0 r^2}$

which is identical to the expression of the field inside the shell.

(d) $-12.3 C/m^2$

We said that at r = a, a charge of -q is induced. The induced charge density will be

$\sigma_a = \frac{-q}{4\pi a^2}$

where $4 \pi a^2$ is the area of the inner surface of the shell. Substituting

q = 5.00 C

a = 0.18 m

We find the induced charge density:

$\sigma_a = \frac{-5.00 C}{4\pi (0.18 m)^2}=-12.3 C/m^2$

(e) $-1.9 C/m^2$

We said that at r = b, a charge of +q is induced. The induced charge density will be

$\sigma_b = \frac{+q}{4\pi b^2}$

where $4 \pi b^2$ is the area of the outer surface of the shell. Substituting

q = 5.00 C

b = 0.46 m

We find the induced charge density:

$\sigma_b = \frac{+5.00 C}{4\pi (0.46 m)^2}=-1.9 C/m^2$

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

Suzie is 3 blocks north of where she started

Explanation:

Displacement is the minimum distance between the initial and final point of motion.

Here, Suzie first walks 3 blocks north. From there she walks 4 blocks east. Then 2 blocks to the east then 2 blocks north and then 2 blocks east. She covered 4 blocks east toward west. This is the same distance she covered traveling east. But she is 2 blocks north. From there she traveled a block south to the pizzeria and another block to her friends house. She covered the two block she had traveled north.

Hence, Suzie is 3 blocks north of where she started.

kvasek [131]

Correct answer id option C that is tropical.

Tropical Climate is characterized by constant high temperature at sea level with an average temperature of 18°C or higher and is found near the equator.

Areas with tropical climate have high humidity and temperature. Countries in tropical region have high precipitation rate. Tropical climate is also known as equatorial climate. Tropical regions are found near equator. Due to high convection rate, there is abundant rainfall.
