The origin of an x axis is placed at the center of a nonconducting solid sphere of radius R that carries a charge +qsphere distr

ibuted uniformly throughout its volume. A particle that carries an unknown charge qpart is located on the x axis at x=+2R. The magnitude of the electric field due to the sphere-particle combination is zero at x=+R/4 on the xaxis.

What is qpart in terms of qsphere?
Express your answer in terms of qsphere.

qpart =
nothing

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

What type of energy dose an earthquake transfer
IrinaVladis [17]
Earthquakes release energy in several forms: The energy in seismic waves that cause the ground to shake. Heat energy associated with friction on the fault slip surface. Gravitational potential energy (the energy stored when lifting something off the ground, for example) may change as a result of the earthquake.

A ray of light is incident on a flat surface of a block of polystyrene, with an index of refraction of 1.49, that is submerged i
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

21.5°

Explanation:

Given,

Refractive index of water, n₁ = 1.33

Refractive index of polystyrene, n₂ = 1.49

Angle of reflection = ?

Angle of refraction = 19.1°

Using Snell's law

n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

1.33 x sin θ₁ = 1.49 x sin 19.1°

sin θ₁ = 0.366

θ₁  = 21.5°

According to law of reflection angle of incidence is equal to angle of reflection.

Angle of reflection =  21.5°

If a 75 W lightbulb is 15% efficient, how many joules of light energy does the bulb produce every minute?
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

1 W = 1 J / sec       Definition of watt is 1 joule / sec

So if a bulb uses 75 J / sec it must use

75 J/s * 60 sec / min = 4500 J/min    energy used by bulb

If bulb is 15% efficient then the light delivered is

P = 4500 J / min * .15 = 675 J / min
