Answer:

the new surface charge density = Q/4πr²( initial surface charge density divided by 4)

Explanation:

charge density(surface) = Q/A = charge/area

let r be the initial radius of the disk

therefore, area A = πr²

charge density = Q/πr²

Now that the radius is doubled, let it be represented as R

∴ R = 2r

Recall, charge density = Q/A

A = πR = π(2r)² = 4πr²

the new surface charge density = Q/4πr²

the initial surface charge density divided by 4

A 465 g block slides along a frictionless surface at a speed of 0.35 m/s. It runs into a horizontal massless spring with spring

katovenus [111]

Answer:

a) The duration, during which the block remain in contact with the spring is 0.29 s

b) The period of the simple harmonic oscillatory motion depends only on the mass and spring constant, therefore when the speed is doubled, the duration of contact remains the same as 0.29 s.

Explanation:

Mass of the block = 465 g

Surface speed = 0.35 m/s

Spring constant , k = 54 N/m

$T = 2\times \pi \times \sqrt{\frac{m}{K} } = 2\times \pi \times \sqrt{\frac{0.465}{54} }$ = 0.58 s
