Answer:

Explanation:

Volume of the insulating shell is,

V_{shell}=\frac{4}{3}\pi(R^3_2-R^3_1)

Charge density of the shell is,

\rho=\frac{Q_{shell}}{\frac{4}{3}\pi(R^3_2-R^3_1)}

Here, R_2 =2R, R_1 =R \,and\, Q_{shell} =-Q

\rho=\frac{Q_{shell}}{\frac{4}{3}\pi((2R)^3-R^3)}=\frac{-3Q}{28\piR^3}

B)

The electric field is E=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{Qr}{R^3}

For 0 <r<R the electric field is zero, because the electric field inside the conductor is zero.

C)

For R <r <2R According to gauss law

E(4\pi r^2)=\frac{Q}{\epsilon_0}+\frac{4\pi\rho}{3\epsilon_0}(r^3-R^3)

substitute \rho=\frac{-3Q}{28\piR^3}

E=\frac{2}{7\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{Q}{r^2}-\frac{Qr}{28\piR^3}

D)

The net charge enclosed for each r in this range is positive and the electric field is outward

E)

For r>2R

Charge enclosed is zero, so electric field is zero

The Cartesian coordinate of a point in the xy plane are (x,y)=(-3.50,-2.50)m. Find the poler coordinate of this point
Masja [62]

Answer:

The polar coordinate of P(x,y) = (-3.50\,m,-2.50\,m) is P (r,\theta) = (4.301\,m, 215.538^{\circ}).

Explanation:

Given a point in rectangular form, that is P(x,y) = (x,y), its polar form is defined by:

P(x,y) = (r,\theta) (1)

Where:

r - Norm, measured in meters.

\theta - Direction, measured in sexagesimal degrees.

The norm of the point is determined by Pythagorean Theorem:

r = \sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}} (2)

And direction is calculated by following trigonometric relation:

\theta = \tan^{-1} \frac{y}{x} (3)

If we know that x = -3.50\,m and y = -2.50\,m, then the components of coordinates in polar form is:

r = \sqrt{(-3.50\,m)^{2}+(-2.50\,m)^{2}}

r \approx 4.301\,m

Since x < 0\,m and y < 0\,m, direction is located at 3rd Quadrant. Given that tangent function has a period of 180º, we find direction by using this formula:

\theta = 180^{\circ}+\tan^{-1} \left(\frac{-2.50\,m}{-3.50\,m} \right)

\theta \approx 215.538^{\circ}

The polar coordinate of P(x,y) = (-3.50\,m,-2.50\,m) is P (r,\theta) = (4.301\,m, 215.538^{\circ}).

1. You place an object 63 cm in front of a converging lens, with a 40 cm focal length.
NikAS [45]

Answer:

1.

109.6 cm ,  - 1.74 , real

2.

1.5

Explanation:

1.

d₀ = object distance = 63 cm

f = focal length of the lens = 40 cm

d = image distance = ?

using the lens equation

\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{d_{o}} + \frac{1}{d}

\frac{1}{40} = \frac{1}{63} + \frac{1}{d}

d = 109.6 cm

magnification is given as

m = \frac{-d}{d_{o}}

m = \frac{-109.6}{63}

m = - 1.74

The image is real

2

d₀ = object distance = a

d = image distance = - (a + 5)

f = focal length of lens = 30 cm

using the lens equation

\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{d_{o}} + \frac{1}{d}

\frac{1}{30} = \frac{1}{a} + \frac{1}{- (a + 5)}

a = 10

magnification is given as

m = \frac{-d}{d_{o}}

m = \frac{- (- (a +5))}{a}

m = \frac{(5 + 10)}{10}

m = 1.5
