Answer:

0.50m/s

Explanation:

Average velocity is the change in displacement of a body with respect to time.

Velocity = ∆S/∆t

∆S = 100m - 70m

∆S = 30m

∆t = 2min - 1 min

∆t = 1min = 60secs

Substitute the given parameters into the formula for velocity

Velocity = 30m/60s

Velocity = 1/2 m/s

Average Velocity = 0.5m/s

An infinite conducting cylindrical shell of outer radius r1 = 0.10 m and inner radius r2 = 0.08 m initially carries a surface ch
irinina [24]

Answer:

a) \sigma_{\rm in} = -2.18~{\rm \mu C/m^2}

b) \sigma_{\rm out}= 1.12~{\rm \mu C/m^2}

c) E = \frac{\sigma(r_1 + r_2)}{\epsilon_0 r}

Explanation:

Before the wire is inserted, the total charge on the inner and outer surface of the cylindrical shell is as follows:

Q_{\rm in} = \sigma A_{\rm in} = \sigma(2\pi r_1 h) = (-0.35)(2\pi (0.08) h) = -0.175h~{\rm \mu C}

Q_{\rm out} = \sigma A_{\rm out} = \sigma(2\pi r_2 h) = (-0.35)(2\pi (0.1) h) = -0.22h~{\rm \mu C}

Here, 'h' denotes the length of the cylinder. The total charge of the cylindrical shell is -0.395h μC.

When the thin wire is inserted, the positive charge of the wire attracts the same amount of negative charge on the inner surface of the shell.

Q_{\rm wire} = \lambda h = 1.1h~{\rm \mu C}

a) The new charge on the inner shell is -1.1h μC. Therefore, the new surface charge density of the inner shell can be calculated as follows:

\sigma_2 = \frac{Q_{\rm in}}{2\pi r_1h} = \frac{-1.1h}{2\pi r_1 h} = \frac{-1.1}{2\pi(0.08)} = -2.18~{\rm \mu C/m^2}

b) The new charge on the outer shell is equal to the total charge minus the inner charge. Therefore, the new charge on the outer shell is +0.705 μC.

The new surface charge density can be calculated as follows:

\sigma_{\rm out}= \frac{Q_{\rm out}}{2\pi r_2h} = \frac{0.705h}{2\pi r_2 h} = \frac{0.705}{2\pi(0.1)} = 1.12~{\rm \mu C/m^2}

c) The electric field outside the cylinder can be found by Gauss' Law:

\int{\vec{E}d\vec{a} = \frac{Q_{enc}}{\epsilon_0}

We will draw an imaginary cylindrical shell with radius r > r2. The integral in the left-hand side will be equal to the area of the imaginary surface multiplied by the E-field.

E(2\pi r h) = \frac{Q_{\rm enc}}{\epsilon_0}\\E2\pi rh = \frac{\sigma 2\pi (r_1 + r_2)h}{\epsilon_0}\\E = \frac{\sigma(r_1 + r_2)}{\epsilon_0 r}

Can a compound be separated by physical means?
Julli [10]

No,  it is not possible.
A compound is a substance or material constituting of two or more elements that have been chemically combined together to form a new, different substance

Any elements that have been joined together chemically can only be separated back into their constituent elements by chemical means because the bonds holding them together can only be broken using chemical means.

A good example is sodium chloride, table salt. Poisonous chlorine gas and toxic sodium metal react together whereby sodium loses one electron which chlorine readily accepts and in the process an ionic bond is formed between the two resulting in a totally new, harmless compound , sodium chloride.

Only through electrolysis can sodium chloride be separated back into sodium and chlorine gas. No physical means can be used to do that.
