Answer:

q=49Q/64

and

x =16R/15

Explanation:

See  attached figure.

E_{Q}= E due to sphere

E_{q}= E due to particule

E_{total}=E_{Q}-E_{q}=0  (1)

according to the law of gauss and superposition Law:

E_{Q}=E_{1}+E_{2}=E_{2} ; electric field due to the small sphere with r1=R/4

E_{Q}=kq_{2}/(r_{1}^{2})=

q_{2}=density*4/3*pi*r_{1}^{3}=Q/(4/3*pi*R^{3})*4/3*pi*r_{1}^{3}=Q*r_{1}^{3}/R^{3}

then: E_{Q}=kq_{2}/(r_{1}^{2})=k*Q*r_{1}^{3}/(R^{3}*r_{1}^{2}) = kQ/(4*R^{2})  (2)

on the other hand, for the particule:

E_{q}=kq/(r_{p}^{2})

r_{p}=2R-R/4=7R/4   ⇒    E_{q}=16kq/(49R^{2})   (3)

We replace (2) y (3) in (1):

E_{total}=E_{Q}-E_{q}=0=kQ/(4*R^{2}) - 49kq/(16R^{2})

q=49Q/64

--------------------

if R<x<2R   AND E_{total}=E_{Q}-E_{q}=0

E_{total}=E_{Q}-E_{q}=0=kQ/(x^{2}) - kq/(2R-x^{2})

remember that  q=49Q/64

then:

Q(2R-x^{2})=49/64*x^{2}

solving:

x_{1} =16R/15

x_{2} =16R

but: R<x<2R  

so : x =16R/15

The cylinder with piston locked in place is immersed in a mixture of ice and water and allowed to come to thermal equilibrium wi
lukranit [14]

Answer:

a. volume of gas:  (decreases)

b. temperature of gas:  (same)

c. internal energy of gas: (same)

d. pressure of gas: (increases)

Explanation:

We have a gas (let's suppose that is ideal) in a piston with a fixed volume V.

Then we put in a reservoir at 0°C (the mixture of water and ice)

remember that the state equation for an ideal gas is:

P*V = n*R*T

and:

U = c*n*R*T

where:

P = pressure

V = volume

n = number of mols

R = constant

c = constant

T = temperature.

Now, we have equilibrium at T = 0°C, then we can assume that T is also a constant.

Then in the equation:

P*V = n*R*T

all the terms in the left side are constants.

P*V = constant

And knowing that:

U = c*n*R*T

then:

n*R*T = U/c

We can replace it in the other equation to get:

P*V = U/c = constant.

Now, the piston is (slowly) moving inwards, then:

a) Volume of the gas: as the piston moves inwards, the volume where the gas can be is smaller, then the volume of the gas decreases.

b) temperature of the gas: we know that the gas is a thermal equilibrium with the mixture (this happens because we are in a slow process) then the temperature of the gas does not change.

c) Internal energy of the gas:

we have:

P*V = n*R*T = constant

and:

P*V = U/c = constant.

Then:

U = c*Constant

This means that the internal energy does not change.

d) Pressure of the gas:

Here we can use the relation:

P*V = constant

then:

P = (constant)/V

Now, if V decreases, the denominator in that equation will be smaller. We know that if we decrease the value of the denominator, the value of the quotient increases.

And the quotient is equal to P.

Then if the volume decreases, we will see that the pressure increases.

lakkis [162]

Answer:

80⁰

Explanation:

triangle AOB = 180

So, a = 50

triangle CAB = a+a+x=180

CAB = 50+50+X=180

CAB = X = 180-100

X=80

A circular loop of radius 11.7 cm is placed in a uniform magnetic field. (a) If the field is directed perpendicular to the plane
Mama L [17]

Answer:

Magnetic field, B = 0.199 T

Explanation:

It is given that,

Radius of circular loop, r = 11.7 cm = 0.117 m

Magnetic flux through the loop, \phi=8.6\times 10^{-3}\ T/m^2

The magnetic flux linked through the loop is :

\phi=B.A

\phi=BA\ cos\theta

Here, \theta=0

B=\dfrac{\phi}{A}

or

B=\dfrac{\phi}{\pi r^2}

B=\dfrac{8.6\times 10^{-3}}{\pi (0.117 )^2}

B = 0.199 T

So, the strength of the magnetic field is 0.199 T. Hence, this is the required solution.

A pendulum takes 6.0 seconds to swing through 5 complete cycles. What is the period of the pendulum?
photoshop1234 [79]
When you look at this, you might not be sure which way to divide ...
Should you divide  6 by 5  or  5 by 6 ?

Here's a case where you can use your units to decide.

The question wants to know the 'period'.  That's a length of time,
so the answer needs to have units of time.

If you divide 'cycles' be 'time', you'll get  'cycles/second'.
That's Hz.  It's frequency, not time.

If you divide 'time' by 'cycles', you'll get 'seconds/cycle'.
That's time, and it's exactly the definition of 'period'.

            Period  =  (6 seconds) / (5 cycles)

                         =    (6 / 5)  seconds/cycle

                         =     1.2  seconds
