Answer:

The radius of the sphere is 4.05 m

Explanation:

Given;

potential at surface, V_s = 450 V

potential at radial distance, V_r = 150

radial distance, l = 8.1 m

Apply Coulomb's law of electrostatic force;

V = \frac{KQ}{r} \\\\V_s = \frac{KQ}{r} \\\\V_r = \frac{KQ}{r+ l}

450 = \frac{KQ}{r} ------equation (i)\\\\150 = \frac{KQ}{r+8.1} ------equation (ii)\\\\divide \ equation (i)\ by \ equation \ (ii)\\\\\frac{450}{150} = (\frac{KQ}{r} )*(\frac{r+8.1}{KQ} )\\\\3 = \frac{r+8.1}{r}  \\\\3r = r + 8.1\\\\2r = 8.1\\\\r = \frac{8.1}{2} \\\\r = 4.05 \ m

Therefore, the radius of the sphere is 4.05 m

Two particles are moving with positions given by x= 4t^2−2t and x= 6t^3+8t respectively.
Evgen [1.6K]

Explanation:

<em>a)Which of the two has uniform acceleration?</em>

Acceleration is the second derivative of position.  The acceleration of the first particle is:

x = 4t² − 2t

v = 8t − 2

a = 8

The acceleration of the second particle is:

x = 6t³ + 8t

v = 18t² + 8

a = 36t

The first particle has uniform acceleration.

<em>b)Which one is likely to come to rest at some time during its motion?</em>

The particles come to rest when v = 0.  The first particle's velocity has a real zero at t = 4.  The second particle's velocity has only imaginary zeros, meaning v is never 0.

Describe how Newton’s third law applies to the box and the table.
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

the box has vertical force on the table

Explanation:

There can be no single isolated force, for every action there must be a force of reaction of ingual magnitude and direction, but in the opposite direction

What is the gain in speed per second for a freely falling object?.
mel-nik [20]

Objects accelerate at ~9.8 Meters per second per second (9.8 Meters peer sec^2. (or ~32 feet per sec^2 for you non metric guys) As they gain speed they will reach a maximum velocity limited by atmospheric resistance, when the resistance vector equals the gravity vector and all acceleration will cease. In a vacuum the object will continue to accelerate.
