A thin, metallic spherical shell of radius 0.187 m has a total charge of 6.53×10−6 C placed on it. A point charge of 5.15×10−6 C
MAVERICK [17]

Answer: a) 112.88 * 10^3 N/C; b) The electric field point outward from the center of the sphere.

Explanation: In order to solve this problem we have to use the gaussian law so we use a gaussian surface at r=0.965 m and the electric flux is equal to Q inside/εo

E* 4*π*r^2= Q inside/εo

E= k*Q inside/r^2= 9*10^9*(6.53+5.15)μC/(0.965)^2=122.88 * 10 ^3 N/C

The velocity of the transverse waves produced by an earthquake is 8.9 km/s, and that of the longitudinal waves is 5.1 km/s. A se
Brrunno [24]

Answer: The distance is 723.4km

Explanation:

The velocity of the transverse waves is 8.9km/s

The velocity of the longitudinal wave is 5.1 km/s

The transverse one reaches 68 seconds before the longitudinal.

if the distance is X, we know that:

X/(9.8km/s) = T1

X/(5.1km/s) = T2

T2 = T1 + 68s

Where T1 and T2 are the time that each wave needs to reach the sesmograph.

We replace the third equation into the second and get:

X/(9.8km/s) = T1

X/(5.1km/s) = T1 + 68s

Now, we can replace T1 from the first equation into the second one:

X/(5.1km/s) = X/(9.8km/s) + 68s

Now we can solve it for X and find the distance.

X/(5.1km/s) - X/(9.8km/s) = 68s

X(1/(5.1km/s) - 1/(9.8km/s)) = X*0.094s/km= 68s

X = 68s/0.094s/km = 723.4 km

Derive the formula v= u+ at<br>please derive in detail ​
gogolik [260]

Lets do

We know

The rate of change of velocity is acceleration .

\\ \sf\longmapsto a=\dfrac{dv}{dt}

\\ \sf\longmapsto dv=adt

Integrate both sides

\\ \sf\longmapsto \int dv=a\int dt

As acceleration is constant .Take it outside of integral .On velocity we can take limit u to v and time from 0 to t

\\ \sf\longmapsto {\displaystyle{\int}}^v_u dv=a{\displaystyle{\int}}^t_0 dt

Hence

\\ \sf\longmapsto v{\huge{|}}^v_u=at

\\ \sf\longmapsto v-u=at

\\ \sf\longmapsto v=u+at
