Answer:

The sphere's volume charge density is 2.58 μC/m³.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of sphere R= 8.40 cm

Electric field E= 2.04\times10^{3}\ N/C

Distance r= 16.8 cm

We need to calculate the sphere's volume charge density

Using Gauss's law

\int{\vec{E}\cdot\vec{da}}=\dfrac{Q_{enc}}{\epsilon_{0}}

E\times 4\pi r^2=\dfrac{1}{\epsilon_{0}}\times\dfrac{4}{3}\piR^3\rho

E=\dfrac{\rho R^3}{3\epsilon_{0}r^2}

\rho=\dfrac{3\times E\times\epsilon_{0}r^2}{R^3}

Put the value into the formula

\rho=\dfrac{3\times2.04\times10^{3}\times8.85\times10^{-12}\times(16.8\times10^{-2})^2}{(8.40\times10^{-2})^3}

\rho=2.58\times10^{-6}\ C/m^3

\rho=2.58\ \mu C/m^3

Hence, The sphere's volume charge density is 2.58 μC/m³.

What should a student do if the hydrochloric acid splashes in their eyes?<br> .
gayaneshka [121]

First aid suggestions include:

Hold your face under running water for 15 to 20 minutes and allow the water stream to flood into your eyes. Use your fingers to hold your eyelids apart (make sure there is no trace of the chemical on your fingers).

If you wear contact lenses, remove them as soon as possible.

Seek immediate medical advice. Medical staff will need to know what chemical was involved, particularly whether it was acid or alkaline, liquid or powder.

Do not judge the seriousness of your eye injury on the degree of pain. For example, alkali chemicals don’t usually cause significant symptoms, but can seriously damage the eye.

Powder or particulate (granular matter, like wet concrete) chemicals can be particularly damaging since they are more difficult to flush out.

A basketball player grabbing a rebound jumps 76.0 cm vertically. How much total time (ascent and descent) does the player spend.
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer: Part(a)=0.041 secs, Part(b)=0.041 secs

Explanation: Firstly we assume that only the gravitational acceleration is acting on the basket ball player i.e. there is no air friction

now we know that

a=-9.81 m/s^2  ( negative because it is pulling the player downwards)

we also know that

s=76 cm= 0.76 m ( maximum s)

using kinetic equation

v^2=u^2+2as

where v is final velocity which is zero at max height and u is it initial

hence

u^2=-2(-9.81)*0.76

u=3.8615 m/s\\

now we can find time in the 15 cm ascent

s=ut+0.5at^2

0.15=3.861*t+0.5*9.81t^2\\

using quadratic formula

t=\frac{-3.861+\sqrt{3.86^2-4*0.5*9.81(-0.15)} }{2*0.5*9.81}

t=0.0409 sec

the answer for the part b will be the same

To find the answer for the part b we can find the velocity at 15 cm height similarly using

v^2=u^2+2as

where s=0.76-0.15

as the player has traveled the above distance to reach 15cm to the bottom

v^2=0^2 +2*(9.81)*(0.76-0.15)

v=3.4595

when the player reaches the bottom it has the same velocity with which it started which is 3.861

hence the time required to reach the bottom 15cm is

t=\frac{3.861-3.4595}{9.81}

t=0.0409

Two particles are located on the x axis. particle 1 has a mass m and is at the origin. particle 2 has a mass 2m and is at x = +l
wlad13 [49]

The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

<span>
The force on m is:</span>

<span>
GMm / x^2 + Gm(2m) / L^2 = 2[Gm (2m) / L^2] -> 1

The force on 2m is:</span>

<span>
GM(2m) / (L - x)^2 + Gm(2m) / L^2 = 2[Gm (2m) / L^2] -> 2

From (1), you’ll get M = 2mx^2 / L^2 and from (2) you get M = m(L - x)^2 / L^2 

Since the Ms are the same, then 

2mx^2 / L^2 = m(L - x)^2 / L^2 

2x^2 = (L - x)^2 

xsqrt2 = L - x 

x(1 + sqrt2) = L 

x = L / (sqrt2 + 1) From here, we rationalize. 

x = L(sqrt2 - 1) / (sqrt2 + 1)(sqrt2 - 1) 

x = L(sqrt2 - 1) / (2 - 1) 


x = L(sqrt2 - 1) </span>

 

= 0.414L

 

<span>Therefore, the third particle should be located the 0.414L x axis so that the magnitude of the gravitational force on both particle 1 and particle 2 doubles.</span>
