7 0

Crust: The thin, outer layer of the earth. Less than 1% of the Earth's mass.Made of solid rock, broken into plates.

Mantle: Molten rock on which plates float. Contains 67% of the earth's mass.

Core: Inner layer of the Earth. Made of both solid and liquid metals.

Two point charges of equal magnitude q are held a distance d apart. Consider only points on the line passing through both charge

NemiM [27]

let us consider that the two charges are of opposite nature .hence they will constitute a dipole .the separation distance is given as d and magnitude of each charges is q.

the mathematical formula for potential is $V=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon} \frac{q}{d}$

for positive charges the potential is positive and is negative for negative charges.

the formula for electric field is given as- $E=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon} \frac{q}{r^2}$

for positive charges,the line filed is away from it and for negative charges the filed is towards it.

we know that on equitorial line the potential is zero.hence all the points situated on the line passing through centre of the dipole and perpendicular to the dipole length is zero.

here the net electric field due to the dipole can not be zero between the two charges,but we can find the points situated on the axial line but outside of charges where the electric field is zero.

now let the two charges of same nature.let these are positively charged.

here we can not find a point between two charges and on the line joining two charges where the potential is zero.

but at the mid point of the line joining two charges the filed is zero.

A bicycle wheel of radius 0.70 m is rolling without slipping on a horizontal surface with an angular speed of 2.0 rev/s when the

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

θ= 5 radian

Explanation:

Given data:

Radius r = 0.70 m

Initial angular speed ω_i = 2rev/s

Time t = 5 s

Final angular speed ω_f =0

so we have angular displacement

$\theta= \frac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{2}\times t$

putting values

$\theta= \frac{0-2}{2}\times5$ = 5 rad

A uranium nucleus is traveling at 0.94 c in the positive direction relative to the laboratory when it suddenly splits into two p

Anettt [7]

Answer:

A u = 0.36c B u = 0.961c

Explanation:

In special relativity the transformation of velocities is carried out using the Lorentz equations, if the movement in the x direction remains

u ’= (u-v) / (1- uv / c²)

Where u’ is the speed with respect to the mobile system, in this case the initial nucleus of uranium, u the speed with respect to the fixed system (the observer in the laboratory) and v the speed of the mobile system with respect to the laboratory

The data give is u ’= 0.43c and the initial core velocity v = 0.94c

Let's clear the speed with respect to the observer (u)

u’ (1- u v / c²) = u -v

u + u ’uv / c² = v - u’

u (1 + u ’v / c²) = v - u’

u = (v-u ’) / (1+ u’ v / c²)

Let's calculate

u = (0.94 c - 0.43c) / (1+ 0.43c 0.94 c / c²)

u = 0.51c / (1 + 0.4042)

u = 0.36c

We repeat the calculation for the other piece

In this case u ’= - 0.35c
