Answer:

3.6 × 10⁵ N/C = 360 kN/C

Explanation:

Let R = 2.0 cm be the radius of the sphere and q = -8.0 nC be the charge in it. Let q₁ be the charge at radius r = 1.0 cm. Since the charge is uniformly distributed, the volume charge density is constant. So, q/4πR³ = q₁/4πr³

q₁ = q(r/R)³. The electric field due to q₁ at r is E₁ = kq₁/r² = kq(r/R)³/r² = kqr/R³

The electric field due to the point charge q₂ = 5.0 nC is E₂ = kq₂/r².

So, the magnitude of the total electric field at r = 1.0 cm is

E = E₁ + E₂ = kqr/R³ + kq₂/r² = k(qr/R³ + q₂/r²)

E = 9 × 10⁹(-8 × 10⁻⁹ C × 1 × 10⁻² m/(2 × 10⁻² m)³ + 5 × 10⁻⁹ C/(1 × 10⁻² m)²)

E = 9 × 10⁹(-1 × 10⁻⁵ + 5 × 10⁻⁵)

E = 9 × 10⁹(4 × 10⁻⁵)

E = 36 × 10⁴ N/C = 3.6 × 10⁵ N/C = 360 kN/C

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

6m/s

Explanation:

the original momentum = mass x velocity = 8x (60+10) = 560

momentum after = mass x velocity of the school bag + mass x velocity of the boy = 10x20 + 60x A

200+60A = 560

A student walks (2.9±0.1)m, stops and then walks another (3.9 ±0.2)m in the same directionWith the given uncertainties, what is
Anika [276]

Answer:

The smallest distance the student that the student could be possibly be from the starting point is 6.5 meters.

Explanation:

For 2 quantities A and B represented as

A\pm \Delta A and B\pm \Delta B

The sum is represented as

Sum=(A+B)\pm (\Delta A+\Delta B)

For the the values given to us the sum is calculated as

Sum=(2.9+3.9)\pm (0.1+0.2)

Sum=6.8\pm 0.3

Now the since the uncertainity inthe sum is \pm 0.3

The closest possible distance at which the student can be is obtained by taking the negative sign in the uncertainity

Thus closest distance equals 6.8-0.3=6.5meters

PLEASE ANSWER
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Farm = 98.1 [N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must draw the respective free body diagram, with the forces acting on the monkey. An analysis of the sums on the y-axis must be performed, in this axis the weight is acting down and the forces of both arms pulling up.

Weight is defined as the product of mass by gravitational acceleration.

W = m*g

where:

m = mass = 20 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

W = 196.2 [N] (units of Newtons)

As this force points down, the force of both arms must go up, therefore each arm exerts a force of:

Farm = 196.2 / 2

Farm = 98.1 [N]
