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

How is a net electric charge produced​
Vlad [161]

If an object has more protons than electrons, then the net charge on the object is positive. If there are more electrons than protons, then the net charge on the object is negative. If there are equal numbers of protons and electrons, then the object is electrically neutral.

A simple model of a hydrogen atom is a positive point charge +e (representing the proton) at the center of a ring of radius a wi
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Now e is due to the ring at a

So

We say

1/4πEo(ea/ a²+a²)^3/2

= 1/4πEo ea/2√2a³

So here E is faced towards the ring

Next is E due to a point at the centre

So

E² = 1/4πEo ( e/a²)

Finally we get the total

Et= E²-E

= e/4πEo(2√2-1/2√2)

So the direction here is away from the ring

Explain in terms of impulse how padding reduces forces in a collision. State this in terms of a real example, such as the advant
Lena [83]

Answer:

Impulse = Average force x time of contact

Explanation:

Impulsive force is a force which is very large but applied on a body for a very small duration of time.

Impulse is given by the change in momentum of the body.

Impulse = Average force x small time interval

When padding is there, the time interval of contact is large and thus, the force exerted by the body is small.

So, when a person falls on the tile floor, there is no compression and thus, the time of contact is very small and thus the impulsive force is very large, due to  which the body may damage.

So, when a person falls on the carpeted floor, there is a compression and thus, the time of contact is comparatively large and thus the impulsive force is small, due to  which the body may safe.
