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 )

A cyclist accelerates from a velocity of 10 miles/hour east until reaching a velocity of 20 miles/hour east in 5 seconds. What w
Sliva [168]

Answer:

a = 0.894\ m/s^2

Explanation:

<u>Motion with Constant Acceleration</u>

A body moves with constant acceleration when the speed changes uniformly in time. The equation used to find the final speed vf is

v_f=v_o+at

Where vo is the initial speed, a is the acceleration, and t is the time.

The cyclist has an initial speed of vo=10 miles/hour and ends up at vf=20 miles/hour in t=5 seconds.

Both speeds are given in miles/hour and we must convert it to m/s:

1 mile/hour = 0.44704 m/s

10 mile/hour = 4.47 m/s

20 mile/hour = 8.94 m/s

The acceleration is calculated by solving for a:

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}

\displaystyle a=\frac{8.94-4.47}{5}

a = 0.894\ m/s^2

A stuffed toy with a mass of 0.900 kilograms sits on the edge of a bed at a height of 0.830 if the toy falls off the bed what wi
Olenka [21]
Mechanical energy (ME) is the sum of potential energy (PE) and kinetic energy (KE). When the toy falls, energy is converted from PE to KE, but by conservation of energy, ME (and therefore PE+KE) will remain the same.

Therefore, ME at 0.500 m is the same as ME at 0.830 m (the starting point). It's easier to calculate ME at the starting point because its just PE we need to worry about (but if we wanted to we could calculate the instantaneous PE and KE at 0.500 m too and add them to get the same answer).

At the start:

ME = PE = mgh
ME = 0.900 (9.8) (0.830)
ME = 7.32 J
