Answer:

Explanation: This Law of Superposition is fundamental to the interpretation of Earth history, because at any one location it indicates the relative ages of rock layers and the fossils in them.

A 20 cm-radius ball is uniformly charged to 71 nC.

artcher [175]

Answer:

Part a)

$\rho = 2.12\mu C/m^3$

Part b)

$q_1 = 1.11 nC$

$q_2 = 8.88 nC$

$q_3 = 71 nC$

Part c)

$E_1 = 3996 N/C$

$E_2 = 7992 N/C$

$E_3 = 15975 N/C$

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that charge density is the ratio of total charge and total volume

So here the volume of the charge ball is given as

$V = \frac{4}{3}\pi R^3$

$V = \frac{4}{3}\pi(0.20)^3$

$V = 0.0335 m^3$

now the charge density of the ball is given as

$\rho = \frac{71 nC}{0.0335} = 2.12\mu C/m^3$

Part b)

Now the charge enclosed by the surface is given as

$q = \rho V$

at radius of 5 cm

$q = (2.12 \mu C/m^3)(\frac{4}{3}\pi(0.05)^3$

$q = 1.11 nC$

at radius of 10 cm

$q = (2.12 \mu C/m^3)(\frac{4}{3}\pi(0.10)^3$

$q = 8.88 nC$

at radius of 20 cm

$q = 71 nC$

Part c)

As we know that electric field is given as

$E = \frac{kq}{r^2}$

so we have electric field at r = 5 cm

$E_1 = \frac{(9\times 10^9)(1.11 nC)}{0.05^2}$

$E_1 = 3996 N/C$

electric field at r = 10 cm

$E_2 = \frac{(9\times 10^9)(8.88 nC)}{0.10^2}$

$E_2 = 7992 N/C$

electric field at r = 20 cm

$E_3 = \frac{(9\times 10^9)(71 nC)}{0.20^2}$

$E_3 = 15975 N/C$

A baseball leaves a bat with a horizontal velocity of 20 m/s. In a time of 0.25 s, How far will it have traveled horizontally?

Maurinko [17]

Distance traveled by the ball is given by

$distance = speed \times time$

here we know that

speed = 20 m/s

times = 0.25 s

now we have

$distance = 20 \times 0.25$

$distance = 5 m$

so ball will travel 5 m distance in the given interval of time
