Answer:

E =   k*Q₁/R₁² V/m

V =  k*Q₁/R₁ Volt

Explanation:

Given:

- Charge distributed on the sphere is Q₁

- The radius of sphere is R₁

- The electric potential at infinity is 0

Find:

What is the electric field at the surface of the sphere?E.

What is the electric potential at the surface of the sphere?V

Solution:

- The 3 dimensional space around a charge(source) in which its effects is felt is known in the electric field.

- The strength at any point inside the electric field is defined by the force experienced by a unit positive charge placed at that point.  

- If a unit positive charge is placed at the surface it experiences a force according to the Coulomb law is given by

                                        F = k*Q₁/R₁²

- Then the electric field at that point is

                                        E =  F/1

                                        E =  k*Q₁/R₁²  V/m

- The electric potential at a point is defined as the amount of work done in moving a unit positive charge from infinity to that point against electric forces.

- Thus, the electric potential at the surface of the sphere of radius R₁ and charge distribution Q₁ is given by the relation

                                        V =  k*Q₁/R₁  Volt

An insulating sphere is 8.00 cm in diameter and carries a 6.50 µC charge uniformly distributed throughout its interior volume.
Kobotan [32]

Explanation:

(a)   Formula to calculate the density is as follows.

            \rho = \frac{Q}{\frac{4}{3}\pi a^{3}}

                       = \frac{6.50 \times 10^{-6}}{\frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times (0.04)^{3}}

                     = 2.42 \times 10^{-2} C/m^{3}

Now, calculate the charge as follows.

            q_{in} = \rho(\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3})

                      = 2.42 \times 10^{-2} C/m^{3} \times 4.1762 \times (0.01)^{3}

                      = 10.106 \times 10^{-8} C

or,                   = 101.06 nC

(b)  For r = 6.50 cm, the value of charge will be calculated as follows.

                q_{in} = \frac{Q}{\frac{4}{3}\pi a^{3}}

                          = \frac{6.50 \times 10^{-6}}{\frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times (0.065)^{3}}

                          = 7.454 \mu C

A wave has a wavelength of 4.9 m and a velocity of 9.8 m/s. The medium through which this wave is traveling is then heated so th
garri49 [273]

Answer:

the wavelength is 9.8 meters

Explanation:

We can use the relationship:

Velocity = wavelenght*frequency.

Initially we have:

wavelenght = 4.9m

velocity = 9.8m/s

then:

9.8m/s =  4.9m*f

f = 9.8m/s/4.9m =  2*1/s

now, if the velocity is doubled and the frequency remains the same, we have:

2*9.8m/s = wavelenght*2*1/s

wavelenght = (2*9.8m/s)*(1/2)s = 9.8 m

Natalka [10]

Answer:

a) Tc = 750 [N]  ;b) See the explanation below.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we first need a graphical explanation of this, as well as knowing the corresponding questions. Therefore, a search was carried out in google, in the attached image we will find a graphical description of the problem.

b)

The solution of this type of problem corresponds to the use of Newton's third law, applying static which tells us that the sum of the forces in a system in equilibrium without movement must be equal to zero.

a)

In this way we can find by means of a sum of forces on the y axis equal to zero:

- 850 - 450 + 550 + Tc = 0

Tc = 750 [N]
