Answer:

4.73V

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Radius of sphere = 65.7 cm = 0.657 m

Electric field = 7.2 * 10^5 V/m

Electric potential, V, is given in terms of Electric field as:

V = E * r

Where r = distance between charge and point of consideration.

Since we are considering a point just outside the spherical conductor:

V = 7.2 * 10^5 * 0.657

V = 4.73V

Artemon [7]

Answer:

A general solution is \Delta U=mh\frac{GM}{r^{2}}\frac{r}{r+\Delta h} and a particualr case is mgh, it is just to distance around the radius Earth.

Explanation:

We can use a general equation of the potential energy to understand the particular and general case:

The potential energy is defined as U=-\int F\cdot dx, we know that the gravitational force is F=GmM/r^{2}, so we could find the potential energy taking the integral of F.

U=-GmM/r (1)

We can find the particular case, just finding the gravitational potential energy difference:

\Delta U=U_{f}-U_{i}. Here Uf is the potential evaluated in r+Δh and Ui is the potential evaluated in r.

Using (1) we can calculate ΔU.

\Delta U=-\frac{GmM}{r+\Delta h}+\frac{GmM}{r}

Simplifying and combining terms we have a simplified expression.

\Delta U=mh\frac{GM}{r^{2}}\frac{r}{r+\Delta h} (2)

Let's call g=\frac{GM}{r^{2}}. It is the acceleration due to gravity on the Earth's surface, if r is the radius of Earth and M is the mass of the Earth and we can write (2) as ΔU=mgh, but if we have distance grader than r we should use (2), otherwise, we could get incorrect values of potential energy.

I hope i hleps you!

False.  They're vibrating strings.  Drums have membranes (a membrane is like a sheet)

Hoochie [10]
Excellent work!
Your calculations are correct, but near the end, you have forgotten to cancel u.  If you cancel the u, the linear term becomes a constant, and the resultant equation becomes a simple quadratic which is much easier to solve.
I get u=7.468 m/s using g=9.81 (as you did)
You will rework and should get 7.468 m/s as well.

Congrats for the good work!
