Answer: $0.69\°$

Explanation:

The angular diameter $\delta$ of a spherical object is given by the following formula:

$\delta=2 sin^{-1}(\frac{d}{2D})$

Where:

$d=16 m$ is the actual diameter

$D=1338 m$ is the distance to the spherical object

Hence:

$\delta=2 sin^{-1}(\frac{16 m}{2(1338 m)})$

$\delta=0.685\° \approx 0.69\°$ This is the angular diameter

A solid sphere of radius R is made of a metallic conductor. A hollow spherical shell of the same radius R is made of the same co

Harrizon [31]

1-2) They have same surface charge density

3-4) The metallic conductor has greatest surface charge density

Explanation:

1-2)

In a conductor, the charge carriers (mainly electrons) are free to move. Therefore, as a result, they tend to move at the largest possible distance from each other, because of the repulsive force that they exert on each other.

The configuration that maximize the distance between the charge carriers for a solid sphere of metallic conductor is the one in which all the electrons are on the surface, and they are equally spaced between each other. This means that for the solid sphere of radius R, the excess charge Q will be entirely spread over the surface of the sphere.

Similarly, the excess charge Q on the hollow spherical shell (which is also made of the same conducting material) will also be spread over the surface with the charge carriers at the maximum distance from each other. Therefore, the surface charge density for both objects will be

$\sigma = \frac{Q}{4\pi R^2}$

where R is the radius of the two spheres.

3-4)

In this case, the surface charge density on the two objects is different.

In fact, on the metallic sphere (conducting) the surface charge density is (as explained in part 1):

$\sigma = \frac{Q}{4\pi R^2}$

Hoever, the second sphere is made of an insulating material. In an insulator, the charge carriers are not free to move. If the initial charge Q is spread across the all sphere (which is not hollow), this means that some of the charge will actually also be inside the sphere. So the charge deposited on the surface, Q', will be less than the total charge Q. Therefore, the surface charge density will be

$\sigma' = \frac{Q'}{4\pi R^2}$

And since Q' < Q, this means that $\sigma'$ , so the conducting sphere has a greatest surface charge density.

A cylindrically shaped piece of collagen (a substance found in the body in connective tissue) is being stretched by a force that

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Part(a): The value of the spring constant is $3.11 \times 10^{2}~Kg~s^{-2}$ .

Part(b): The work done by the variable force that stretches the collagen is $1.5 \times 10^{-6}~J$ .

Explanation:

Part(a):

If ' $k$ ' be the force constant and if due the application of a force ' $F$ ' on the collagen ' $\Delta l$ ' be it's increase in length, then from Hook's law

$F = k~\Delta l....................................................................(I)$

Also, Young's modulus of a material is given by

$Y = \dfrac{F/A}{\Delta l/l}...............................................................(II)$

where ' $A$ ' is the area of the material and ' $l$ ' is the length.

Comparing equation ( $I$ ) and ( $II$ ) we can write

$&& Y = \dfrac{l~k}{A}\\&or,& k = \dfrac{Y~A}{l}\\&or,& k = \dfrac{Y~(\pi~r^{2})}{l}$

Here, we have to consider only the circular surface of the collagen as force is applied only perpendicular to this surface.

Substituting the given values in equation ( $III$ ), we have

$k = \dfrac{3.10 \times 10^{6}~N~m^{-2} \times \pi \times (0.00093)^{2}~m^{2}}{.027~m} = 3.11 \times 10^{2}~Kg~s^{-2}$

Part(b):

We know the amount of work done ( $W$ ) on the collagen is stored as a potential energy ( $U$ ) within it. Now, the amount of work done by the variable force that stretches the collagen can be written as
