Answer:

a) -1.27*10³ N/C b) 0 c) -0.21*10³ N/C d) 0.1*10³ N/C

Explanation:

a) r = 0.76R

As this distance is inside the sphere, we need to know how much charge is enclosed within this distance for the center, as follows:

Q = ρ*V(r) = ρ*\frac{4}{3} *\pi *r^{3}

where r = 0.760* R = 0.760* 0.295 m = 0.224 m, and ρ = -151 nC/m³

Q = -151e-9 *\frac{4}{3} *\pi *0.224m^{3} = -7.11e-9 C

Applying Gauss' Law to a spherical gaussian surface of r= 0.76R, as the electric field is radial, and directed inward, we can write the following equation:

E*A = Q/ε₀, where Q= -7.11 nC, A= 4*π*(0.76R)² and ε₀ =8.85*10⁻¹² C²/N*m²

We can solve for E, as follows:

E = \frac{1}{4*\pi*8.85e-12C2/N*m2 } *\frac{-7.11e-9C}{(0.76*0.295m)^{2}} =-1.27e3 N/C

⇒ E = -1.27*10³ N/C

b) r= 3.90 R

As this distance falls inside the conducting shell, and no electric field can exist within a conductor in electrostatic condition, E=0

c) r = 2.8 R

As this distance falls between the sphere and the inner radius of the shell, we can calculate the electric field, applying Gauss' law to a gaussian surface of radius equal to r= 2.80 R.

First we need to find the total charge of the sphere, as follows:

Q = ρ*V =

Q = -151e-9 *\frac{4}{3} *\pi *0.295m^{3} = -16.2e-9 C

In the same way that for a) we can write the following expression:

E*A = Q/ε₀, where Q= -16.2 nC, A= 4*π*(2.8R)² and ε₀ =8.85*10⁻¹² C²/N*m²

We can solve for E, as follows:

E = \frac{1}{4*\pi*8.85e-12C2/N*m2 } *\frac{-16.2e-9C}{(2.8*0.295m)^{2}} =-0.21e3 N/C

⇒ E = -0.21*10³ N/C

d) r= 7.30 R

In order to find the electric field at this distance, which falls beyond the outer radius of the shell, we need to find the total charge on the outer surface.

As the sphere has a charge of -16.2 nC, and the total charge of the conducting shell is 66.7nC, in order to make E=0 inside the shell, the total charge enclosed by a gaussian surface with a radius larger than the inner radius of the shell and shorter than the outer one, must be zero, which means that a charge of +16.2 nC must be distributed on the inner surface of the shell.

This leaves an excess charge on the outer surface of the shell as follows:

Qsh = 66.7 nC - 16.2 nC = 50.5 nC

Now, we can repeat the same process than for a) and c) as follows:

E*A = Q/ε₀, where Q= 50.5 nC, A= 4*π*(7.3R)² and ε₀ =8.85*10⁻¹² C²/N*m²

We can solve for E, as follows:

E = \frac{1}{4*\pi*8.85e-12C2/N*m2 } *\frac{50.5e-9C}{(7.3*0.295m)^{2}} =0.1e3 N/C

⇒ E = 0.1*10⁻³ N/C

A track coach records how long it takes a sprinter to run 100 meters the track coach is recording what dimension of behavior
melamori03 [73]
Behavior has at least six dimensions, which are: frequency, duration, latency, topography, locus, and force. Since the coach is recording how long it takes, the track coach is recording the duration behavior because duration is a synonym for time. Duration is your answer.

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

x = 0.237

y = 0.0789

Explanation:

Vector with direction 18.4° and magnitude 0.250 has x and y components of:

x = 0.250 cos 18.4°

x = 0.237

y = 0.250 sin 18.4°

y = 0.0789

a bubble of air of volume 1cm^3 is released by a deep sea diver at a depth where the pressure is 4.0 atmospheres. assuming its t
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

hope this helps!

Explanation:

Volume of the air bubble, V1=1.0cm3=1.0×10−6m3

Bubble rises to height, d=40m

Temperature at a depth of 40 m, T1=12oC=285K

Temperature at the surface of the lake, T2=35oC=308K

The pressure on the surface of the lake: P2=1atm=1×1.103×105Pa 

The pressure at the depth of 40 m: P1=1atm+dρg

Where,

ρ is the density of water =103kg/m3

g is the acceleration due to gravity =9.8m/s2

∴P1=1.103×105+40×103×9.8=493300Pa

We have T1P1V1=T2P2V2

Where, V2 is the volume of the air bubble when it reaches the surface.

V2=
