Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

We know that the thin spherical shell is on a uniform surface which implies that both the inside and outside the charge of the sphere are equal, Then

The volume charge distribution relates to the radial direction at r = R

∴

\rho (r) \  \alpha  \  \delta (r -R)

\rho (r) = k \  \delta (r -R) \ \  at \ \  (r = R)

\rho (r) = 0\ \ since \ r< R  \ \ or  \ \ r>R---- (1)

To find the constant k, we  examine the total charge Q which is:

Q = \int \rho (r) \ dV = \int \sigma \times dA

Q = \int \rho (r) \ dV = \sigma \times4 \pi R^2

∴

\int ^{2 \pi}_{0} \int ^{\pi}_{0} \int ^{R}_{0} \rho (r) r^2sin \theta  \ dr \ d\theta \ d\phi = \sigma \times 4 \pi R^2

\int^{2 \pi}_{0} d \phi* \int ^{\pi}_{0} \ sin \theta d \theta * \int ^{R}_{0} k \delta (r -R) * r^2dr = \sigma \times 4 \pi R^2

(2 \pi)(2) * \int ^{R}_{0} k \delta (r -R) * r^2dr = \sigma \times 4 \pi R^2

Thus;

k * 4 \pi  \int ^{R}_{0}  \delta (r -R) * r^2dr = \sigma \times  R^2

k * \int ^{R}_{0}  \delta (r -R)  r^2dr = \sigma \times  R^2

k * R^2= \sigma \times  R^2

k  =   R^2 --- (2)

Hence, from equation (1), if k = \sigma

\mathbf{\rho (r) = \delta* \delta (r -R)  \ \  at   \ \  (r=R)}

\mathbf{\rho (r) =0 \ \  at   \ \  rR}

To verify the units:

\mathbf{\rho (r) =\sigma \ *  \ \delta (r-R)}

↓         ↓            ↓

c/m³    c/m³  ×   1/m            

Thus, the units are verified.

The integrated charge Q

Q = \int \rho (r) \ dV \\ \\ Q = \int ^{2 \ \pi}_{0} \int ^{\pi}_{0} \int ^R_0 \rho (r) \ \ r^2 \ \  sin \theta  \ dr \ d\theta \  d \phi  \\ \\  Q = \int ^{2 \pi}_{0} \  d \phi  \int ^{\pi}_{0} \ sin \theta  \int ^R_{0} \rho (r) r^2 \ dr

Q = (2 \pi) (2) \int ^R_0 \sigma * \delta (r-R) r^2 \ dr

Q = 4 \pi  \sigma  \int ^R_0  * \delta (r-R) r^2 \ dr

Q = 4 \pi  \sigma  *R^2    since  ( \int ^{xo}_{0} (x -x_o) f(x) \ dx = f(x_o) )

\mathbf{Q = 4 \pi R^2  \sigma  }

If a bust starts to move and its velocity becomes 90 km after 8 seconds . calculate its acceleration answer it quick please
kherson [118]

Answer:

a = 3.125 [m/s^2]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must use the following equation of kinematics. But first, we have to convert the speed of 90 [km/h] to meters per second.

90\frac{km}{h}*\frac{1000m}{1km}*\frac{1h}{3600s}   \\= 25 \frac{m}{s}

v_{f} =v_{i} + (a*t)

where:

Vf = final velocity = 25 [m/s]

Vi = initial velocity = 0

a = acceleration [m/s^2]

t  = time = 8 [s]

The initial speed is zero as the bus starts to koverse from rest. The positive sign of the equation means that the bus increases its speed.

25 = 0 + a*8

a = 3.125 [m/s^2]

If the value of static friction for a couch is 400N, what could be a possible value of its kinetic friction? *
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

kinetic friction may be greater than 400 N or smaller than 400 N

Explanation:

As we know that maximum value of static friction on the rough surface is known as limiting friction and the formula of this limiting friction is known as

F_s = \mu_s N

now when object is sliding on the rough surface then the friction force on that surface is known as kinetic friction and the formula of kinetic friction is known as

F_k = \mu_k N

now we know that

\mu_k < \mu_s

so here value of limiting static friction force is always more than kinetic friction

also we know that

initially when body is at rest then static friction value will lie from 0 N to maximum limiting friction

and hence kinetic friction may be greater than static friction or if the static friction is maximum limiting friction then kinetic friction is smaller than static friction

so kinetic friction may be greater than 400 N or smaller than 400 N

The ozone layer is found in which layer of the atmosphere
prohojiy [21]

This question is incomplete because the options are missing; here is the complete question

The ozone layer is found in which layer of the atmosphere?

A. Stratosphere

B. Mesosphere

C. Thermosphere

D. Troposphere

The correct answer is A. Stratosphere

Explanation:

The ozone layer as indicated by its name is mainly composed of Ozone (O2), this layer is essential for life because it filters ultraviolet radiation and acts as a greenhouse effect gas by trapping part of the heat from the sun. Additionally, the ozone layer is located in the stratosphere, which is the second layer of the atmosphere and can be found between 20 km to 50 km from Earth's surface. Moreover, the existence of the ozone layer in the stratosphere makes the temperature increase with height due to the radiation of the sun filter by ozone.

Which of the following will be the best condition for bread fermentation?
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

a. Wet, soft dough at 85 degrees Fahrenheit

Explanation:

Fermentation is an anaerobic process that transforms starches into simpler substances. The rising of dough is due to fermentation.

According to Harold McGee, 85°F (29°C) is the best temperature for fermenting bread dough. Temperatures below 85°F (29°C) take  much longer to ferment, and temperatures higher than that result into unpleasant flavors in the dough.

Wet, soft dough is usually more preferable because it produces a softer bread.
