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

Enter a curve slower than the posted speed if your vehicle has a high center of gravity or if surface _____________ is less than
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

Traction

Explanation:

Enter a curve slower than the posted speed if your vehicle has a high center of gravity or if surface Traction is less than ideal.

Traction is an act of drawing or pulling something over a surface specially a road or a track or it also defined as the grip of a tire on road or a wheel on rail. So speed when entering a curve should be slower when the tire has low traction to avoid accident.

In what sense is energy from coal actually solar energy
Jobisdone [24]

Explanation:

The energy stored in coal is directly form the sun which is solar energy. This energy are preserved in carbon atoms and they originate from the life processes of a plant.

  • Plants carry out photosynthesis and produce their energy by this process.
  • Green plants have special adapted structures by which they trap solar energy from the sun and use it to produce their own food.
  • The food is used by plant for nutrition and life activities.
  • In essence the solar energy is converted to chemical energy in plants.
  • To form coal, when plants are rapidly buried their organic matter is preserved from decay by combination with oxygen.
  • More burial preserves the complex molecules that have stored during photosynthesis.
  • The carbon eventually aggregates for coal.

Which type of species would be the perfect option to repopulate an area that is in the primary succession stages?
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:In primary succession, newly exposed or newly formed rock is colonized by living things for the first time. In secondary succession, an area previously occupied by living things is disturbed—disrupted—then recolonized following the disturbance.The first organisms to appear in areas of primary succession are often mosses or lichens. These organisms are known as pioneer species because they are the first species present; pioneer species must be hardy and strong, just like human pioneers.A heterotroph is an organism that eats other plants or animals for energy and nutrients. The term stems from the Greek words hetero for “other” and trophe for “nourishment.” Organisms are characterized into two broad categories based upon how they obtain their energy and nutrients: autotrophs and heterotrophs.
