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

A satellite in orbit is not truly traveling through a vacuum.It is moving through very, very thin air. Does the resulting airfri
defon

PART A) Yes, the fact that there is a frictional force acting on the satellite generates a loss of energy due to friction. What causes satellite to diminish its orbit during its tour. In fact, many satellites have rectifier systems that allow them to position themselves and remain in their orbit for a long time to avoid being trapped by the Earth's gravity Force and fall into the atmosphere where they would probably be torn apart.

PART B) As a similarity, one could start by mentioning the structure of the two equations are similar and have their own constants who were responsible for supporting them. While the law of gravity speaks of the masses of the bodies the electrostatic law speaks of the charges of the bodies. For both the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates them.

However, the most notable difference between them is basically their statement. While one of the equations speaks about greavedad the other reflects the electromagnetic phenomena. It should be noted that the force of gravity is much weaker than the electromagnetic force and that the latter has the capacity of attraction and repulsion. While the gravitational force only that of attraction.

sdas [7]

Answer:

Please mark as Brainliest!!

Explanation:

He will not succeed as it blows the trumpet harder that only increase the amplitude of the sound wave that means the intensity of the sound will increase but the frequency remains the same.
