Answer:

c. 1600J

Explanation:

The loss in potential energy of the boy is given by:

$U=mg \Delta h$

where

m = 40 kg is the mass of the boy

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

$\Delta h = 4 m + 0.02 m = 4.02 m$ is the total change in the height of the boy (4 metres + 2 cm due to the compression of the spring)

Substituting, we find

$\Delta U = (40 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(4.02 m) = 1577 J \sim 1600 J$

Two thin concentric spherical shells of radii r1 and r2 (r1 < r2) contain uniform surface charge densities V1 and V2, respect

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

Solution:

We know that the Electric field inside the thin hollow shell is zero, if there is no charge inside it.

So,

a) 0 < r < r1 :

We know that the Electric field inside the thin hollow shell is zero, if there is no charge inside it.

Hence, E = 0 for r < r1

b) r1 < r < r2:

Electric field =?

Let, us consider the Gaussian Surface,

E x 4 $\pi$ $r^{2}$ = $\frac{Q1}{E_{0} }$

So,

Rearranging the above equation to get Electric field, we will get:

E = $\frac{Q1}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2} }$

Multiply and divide by $r1^{2}$

E = $\frac{Q1}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2} }$ x $\frac{r1^{2} }{r1^{2} }$

Rearranging the above equation, we will get Electric Field for r1 < r < r2:

E= (σ1 x $r1^{2}$ ) /( $E_{0}$ x $r^{2}$ )

c) r > r2 :

Electric Field = ?

E x 4 $\pi$ $r^{2}$ = $\frac{Q1 + Q2}{E_{0} }$

Rearranging the above equation for E:

E = $\frac{Q1+Q2}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2} }$

E = $\frac{Q1}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2} }$ + $\frac{Q2}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2} }$

As we know from above, that:

$\frac{Q1}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2} }$ = (σ1 x $r1^{2}$ ) /( $E_{0}$ x $r^{2}$ )

Then, Similarly,

$\frac{Q2}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2} }$ = (σ2 x $r2^{2}$ ) /( $E_{0}$ x $r^{2}$ )

So,

E = $\frac{Q1}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2} }$ + $\frac{Q2}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2} }$

Replacing the above equations to get E:

E = (σ1 x $r1^{2}$ ) /( $E_{0}$ x $r^{2}$ ) + (σ2 x $r2^{2}$ ) /( $E_{0}$ x $r^{2}$ )

Now, for

d) Under what conditions, E = 0, for r > r2?

For r > r2, E =0 if

σ1 x $r1^{2}$ = - σ2 x $r2^{2}$
