Answer:

1)  E = 0 , 2) zero, 3)    E = - 2,162 10⁴ N/C , 4) directed towards the center of the sphere , 5) E = 1.412 10⁴ N / C , 6)direction coming out of the sphere

Explanation:

The electric field is a vector quantity, therefore we can calculate the field due to each charge distribution and add vector  

          E = E₁ + E₂

To calculate each field we can use Gauss's law, which states that the flow is equal to the charge  by the Gaussian surface divided by ε₀

For this case, let's take a sphere as a Gaussian surface

          Ф = ∫E dA = q_{int} /ε₀

 The area of ​​a sphere is

        A = 4π r²

         E = 1 / 4πε₀   q_{int} / r²

1) r = 4 cm

This radius is smaller than the radius of the sphere, therefore the charge inside is zero and therefore the field is zero

            E = 0

2) there is no field

3) r = 8 cm

Let's calculate each field, for the inner surface

This radius is larger than the internal radius, so the field is

           σ = q_{int} / A

The area of ​​the sphere is

          V = 4 π R_in²

         Rho = q_{int} / 4π R_in²

          q_{int} = ρ 4π R_in²

         E₁ = 1 /ε₀ ρ r_in² / r²

For the outer surface

This radius is smaller so there is no load inside the Gaussian surface and therefore the field is zero

          E₂ = 0

Total E

         E = E₁ + 0

          E = 1 /ε₀  ρ₁ R_in² / r²

Let's calculate

           E = 1 /8,854 10⁻¹²   250 10⁻⁹ (7/8)²

           E = - 2,162 10⁴ N / C

4) as the electric field is negative, it is directed towards the center of the sphere

5) r = 12 cm

In this case the two surfaces contribute to the electric field,

Inner surface

        Q₁ = ρ₁ 4π R_in²

        E₁ = 1 /ε₀  ₁rho1 R_in² / r²

Outer surface

         Q₂ = ρ₂ 4π R_out²

          E₂ = 1 /ε₀  ρ₂ R_out² / r²

The total field is

          E = E₁ + E₂

          E = 1 /ε₀  | ρ | [- R_in² + R_out²] / r²

Let's calculate

          E = 1 /8,854 10⁻¹² 250 10⁻⁹ [- 7² + 11²] / 12²

          E = 1.412 10⁴ N / C

6) As the field is positive, it is directed radially with direction coming out of the sphere

You are designing a delivery ramp for crates containing exercise equipment. The 1470-N crates will move at 1.8 m/s at the top of
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

The force constant ,I = 2394N/m

Explanation:

Given:

Weight of crate,Wg = 1470N

Theta = 22.0°

Kinetic friction,Fk= Fs(max) = 550N

Total length of ramp =8.0m

If y =0 at the bottom of the ramp

y1 = d Sin theta

y1 = 8 × Sin 22°

y1 = 3.0m

y2 = 0

V1=1.8m/s

V2 = 0

The equation combining the gravitational and elastic potential energy, and the work energy theorem is given by:

K1 + Ugrav1 + Uel1 + W = K2 + Uel1 ..eq1

Where KE is given by: 1/2mv^2

Gravitational potential energy is given by: Ugrav = mgy ...eq2

Elastic potential energy = Uel = 1/2Kx^2 ..eq3

The restoring force constant of a spring compressed by a distance x is given by:

Fx = Kx ..eq4

Workdone by a constant force is given by W = Fscostheta ...eq5

Where s = displacement

Theta = the angle between the force and the displacement

Work,W = Wf = 550 ×8 × cos 180°

W = -4400J

From the weight of the crate.mass is:

Wg/g = m

1470/9.8 = 150kg

K1 = 1/2 ×150×1.8^2 = 243m/s

The crate comes to rest at K2=0

Ugrav1 = 150 × 9.8 × 3 = 4410J

Ugrav2 = 150 × 9.8 x 0 = 0J

Uel1= 0 Spring at equilibrium

Substituting the values of the energies and work

253 + 4410 + 0 - 4400 = 0 + 0 + Uel1

Uel1 = 253J

Substituting into eq3

253 = 1/2 Kx^2 = 1/2 Kx(x)

Kx = 506/x

Since crate remains at rest,we use Newton's 2nd law

Fx = fs + Wsin theta

Fx = 550 + 1470 sin 22

Fx = 1100.7N

Substituting into eq4

Kx = 1100.7

X = 506/1100.7 = 0.46m

Kx = 1100.7

K = 1100.7/0.47

K = 2394N/m
