Fossil Fuels:

Coal and Oil

How they are formed:

Coal is formed from big plants, from a long time ago. When the big plants died, they formed layers at the bottom of swamps and the dirt began to pile up and it formed Coal.

Oil is a fossil fuel that has been formed from a large amount tiny plants and animals such as algae and zooplankton.

Two thin concentric spherical shells of radii r1 and r2 (r1 < r2) contain uniform surface charge densities V1 and V2, respect

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

Solution:

We know that the Electric field inside the thin hollow shell is zero, if there is no charge inside it.

So,

a) 0 < r < r1 :

We know that the Electric field inside the thin hollow shell is zero, if there is no charge inside it.

Hence, E = 0 for r < r1

b) r1 < r < r2:

Electric field =?

Let, us consider the Gaussian Surface,

E x 4 $\pi$ $r^{2}$ = $\frac{Q1}{E_{0} }$

So,

Rearranging the above equation to get Electric field, we will get:

E = $\frac{Q1}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2} }$

Multiply and divide by $r1^{2}$

E = $\frac{Q1}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2} }$ x $\frac{r1^{2} }{r1^{2} }$

Rearranging the above equation, we will get Electric Field for r1 < r < r2:

E= (σ1 x $r1^{2}$ ) /( $E_{0}$ x $r^{2}$ )

c) r > r2 :

Electric Field = ?

E x 4 $\pi$ $r^{2}$ = $\frac{Q1 + Q2}{E_{0} }$

Rearranging the above equation for E:

E = $\frac{Q1+Q2}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2} }$

E = $\frac{Q1}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2} }$ + $\frac{Q2}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2} }$

As we know from above, that:

$\frac{Q1}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2} }$ = (σ1 x $r1^{2}$ ) /( $E_{0}$ x $r^{2}$ )

Then, Similarly,

$\frac{Q2}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2} }$ = (σ2 x $r2^{2}$ ) /( $E_{0}$ x $r^{2}$ )

So,

E = $\frac{Q1}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2} }$ + $\frac{Q2}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2} }$

Replacing the above equations to get E:

E = (σ1 x $r1^{2}$ ) /( $E_{0}$ x $r^{2}$ ) + (σ2 x $r2^{2}$ ) /( $E_{0}$ x $r^{2}$ )

Now, for

d) Under what conditions, E = 0, for r > r2?

For r > r2, E =0 if

σ1 x $r1^{2}$ = - σ2 x $r2^{2}$

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Complete question:

Part A:) The fictional rocket ship Adventure is measured to be 50 m long by the ship's captain inside the rocket.When the rocket moves past a space dock at 0.5c , space-dock personnel measure the rocket ship to be 43.3 m long. The rocket ship Adventure travels to a star many light-years away, then turns around and returns at the same speed. When it returns to the space dock, who would have aged less: the space-dock personnel or ship's captain?

Part B: What is the momentum of a proton traveling at 0.62 c ?

Answer

a)Who would have aged less=The Captain would have aged less

b) $p=3.96*10^{-19}kgm/s$
