Answer:

E=0 at r < R;

E=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon}\frac{Q}{r^{2}} at 2R > r > R;

E=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon} \frac{2Q}{r^{2}} at r >= 2R

Explanation:

Since we have a spherically symmetric system of charged bodies, the best approach is to use Guass' Theorem which is given by,

\int {E} \, dA=\frac{Q_{enclosed}}{\epsilon} (integral over a closed surface)

where,

E = Electric field

Q_{enclosed} = charged enclosed within the closed surface

\epsilon = permittivity of free space

Now, looking at the system we can say that a sphere(concentric with the conducting and non-conducting spheres) would be the best choice of a Gaussian surface. Let the radius of the sphere be r .

at r < R,

Q_{enclosed} = 0 and hence E = 0 (since the sphere is conducting, all the charges get repelled towards the surface)

at 2R > r > R,

Q_{enclosed} = Q,

therefore,

E\times4\pi r^{2}=\frac{Q_{enclosed}}{\epsilon}      

(Since the system is spherically symmetric, E is constant at any given r and so we have taken it out of the integral. Also, the surface integral of a sphere gives us the area of a sphere which is equal to 4\pi r^{2})

or, E=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon}\frac{Q}{r^{2}}

at r >= 2R

Q_{enclosed} = 2Q

Hence, by similar calculations, we get,

E=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon} \frac{2Q}{r^{2}}

Wittaler [7]
First we write the corresponding kinematics equations:
 a = -g
 v = -g * t + vo
 y = -g * ((t ^ 2) / 2) + vo * t + yo
 Substituting the values:
 y = - (9.81) * (((0.50) ^ 2) / 2) + (19) * (0.50) + (0) = 8.27m
 answer:
 the displacement at the time of 0.50s is 8.27m
