A solid nonconducting sphere of radius R has a charge Q uniformly distributed throughout its volume. A Gaussian surface of radiu

s r with r < R is used to calculate the magnitude of the electric field E at a distance r from the
center of the sphere. Which of the following equations results
from a correct application of Gauss’s law for this situation? And Why?

1. E (4 p r^2) = (Q r^3)/( epsilon sub0 * R3)
2. E(4pr^2)= (Q 3r^3)/ (epsilon sub0 * 4 p R)
3. E (4 p r^2) = (Q) / (epsilon sub0)

Answer:

1. E x 4πr² = ( Q x r³) / ( R³ x ε₀ )

Explanation:

According to the problem, Q is the charge on the non conducting sphere of radius R. Let ρ be the volume charge density of the non conducting sphere.

As shown in the figure, let r be the radius of the sphere inside the bigger non conducting sphere. Hence, the charge on the sphere of radius r is :

Q₁ = ∫ ρ dV

Here dV is the volume element of sphere of radius r.

Q₁ = ρ x 4π x ∫ r² dr

The limit of integration is from 0 to r as r is less than R.

Q₁ = (4π x ρ x r³ )/3

But volume charge density, ρ = \frac{3Q}{4\pi R^{3} }

So, Q_{1} = \frac{Qr^{3} }{R^{3} }

Applying Gauss law of electrostatics ;

∫ E ds = Q₁/ε₀

Here E is electric field inside the sphere and ds is surface element of sphere of radius r.

Substitute the value of Q₁ in the above equation. Hence,

E x 4πr² = ( Q x r³) / ( R³ x ε₀ )

The water level in a tank is 20 m above the ground. a hose is connected to the bottom of the tank, and the nozzle at the end of
Damm [24]

Answer:

P_(pump) = 98,000 Pa

Explanation:

We are given;

h2 = 30m

h1 = 20m

Density; ρ = 1000 kg/m³

First of all, we know that the sum of the pressures in the tank and the pump is equal to that of the Nozzle,

Thus, it can be expressed as;

P_(tank)+ P_(pump) = P_(nozzle)

Now, the pressure would be given by;

P = ρgh

So,

ρgh_1 + P_(pump) = ρgh_2

Thus,

P_(pump) = ρg(h_2 - h_1)

Plugging in the relevant values to obtain;

P_(pump) = 1000•9.8(30 - 20)

P_(pump) = 98,000 Pa

An amateur player is about to throw a dart with an initial velocity of 15 meters/second onto a dartboard that is at a distance o
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

B. 0.16 m

Explanation:

The vertical distance by which the player will miss the target is equal to the vertical distance covered by the dart during its motion.

Since the dart is thrown horizontally, the initial vertical velocity is zero:

v_y = 0

While the horizontal velocity is

v_x = 15 m/s

The horizontal distance covered is

d_x = 2.7 m

Since the dart moves by uniform motion along the horizontal direction, the time it takes for covering this distance is

t=\frac{d_x}{v_x}=\frac{2.7 m}{15 m/s}=0.18 s

along the vertical direction, the motion is a uniformly accelerated motion with constant downward acceleration g=9.8 m/s^2, so the vertical distance covered is given by

d_y = \frac{1}{2}gt^2=\frac{1}{2}(9.8 m/s^)(0.18 s)^2=0.16 m
