Answer:

Part a: The electric potential of each sphere is 1.35x10⁸V

Part b: The electric field at the surface of sphere 1 and 2 is 2.25x10⁹ N/C and 6.75x10⁹ N/C respectively

Explanation:

As the complete question is not given, the similar question is attached herewith. The values are used as indicated in the given question

Let r_1 = 6 cm=0.06 m

r2 = 2 cm = 0.02 m

Q = 1.2 mC

Let q1 and q2 are the charges on each sphere.

q1 + q2 = 1.2 mC -------(1)

In the equilibrium, V1 = V2

k*q1/r1 = k*q2/r2

q1/0.06 = q2/0.02

q1/q2 = 0.06/0.02

q1/q2 = 3 ---------(2)

On solving equation 1 and 2

we get

q1 = 0.9 mC

q2 = 0.3 mC

So

V1 = k*q1/r1 = (9*10^9*0.9*10^-3)/0.06 = 1.35*10^8 Volts

V2 = k*q2/r2 = 9*10^9*0.3*10^-3/0.02 = 1.35*10^8 Volts

So the electric potential of each sphere is 1.35x10⁸V

Part b

Now the electric potential is given as

E1 = k*q1/r1^2 = 9*10^9*0.9*10^-3/0.06^2 = 2.25*10^9 N/C

E2 = k*q2/r2 = 9*10^9*0.3*10^-3/0.02^2 = 6.75*10^9 N/C

So the electric field at the surface of sphere 1 and 2 is 2.25x10⁹ N/C and 6.75x10⁹ N/C respectively

Identrying the speed of the Cart
aleksklad [387]

The speed of the cart after 3 seconds of Low fan speed is equal to 54 cm/s.

<h3>How to calculate the speed?</h3>

Mathematically, speed can be calculated by using this formula;

Speed = distance/time

At Low fan speed after 3 seconds, the distance covered is 162 cm:

Speed = 162/3

Speed = 54 cm/s.

At Medium fan speed after 5 seconds, the distance covered is 600 cm:

Speed = 600/5

Speed = 120 cm/s.

At High fan speed after 2 seconds, the distance covered is 128 cm:

Speed = 128/2

Speed = 64 cm/s.
