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.

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

Answer:

The Earth’s lithosphere, which includes the crust and upper mantle, is made up of a series of pieces, or tectonic plates, that move slowly over time.

A divergent boundary occurs when two tectonic plates move away from each other. Along these boundaries, earthquakes are common and magma (molten rock) rises from the Earth’s mantle to the surface, solidifying to create new oceanic crust. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge and Pacific Ring of Fire are two examples of divergent plate boundaries.

When two plates come together, it is known as a convergent boundary. The impact of the colliding plates can cause the edges of one or both plates to buckle up into a mountain ranges or one of the plates may bend down into a deep seafloor trench. A chain of volcanoes often forms parallel to convergent plate boundaries and powerful earthquakes are common along these boundaries.

At convergent plate boundaries, oceanic crust is often forced down into the mantle where it begins to melt. Magma rises into and through the other plate, solidifying into granite, the rock that makes up the continents. Thus, at convergent boundaries, continental crust is created and oceanic crust is destroyed.

Two plates sliding past each other forms a transform plate boundary. One of the most famous transform plate boundaries occurs at the San Andreas fault zone, which extends underwater. Natural or human-made structures that cross a transform boundary are offset—split into pieces and carried in opposite directions. Rocks that line the boundary are pulverized as the plates grind along, creating a linear fault valley or undersea canyon. Earthquakes are common along these faults. In contrast to convergent and divergent boundaries, crust is cracked and broken at transform margins, but is not created or destroyed.

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

(a). 14.4 lbf/in^2.

(b). 27.8 in, AS THE TEMPERATURE INCREASES, THE LENGTH OF MERCURY DECREASES.

Explanation:

So, from the question above we are given the following parameters which are going to help us in solving this particular Question;

=> The "barometer accidentally contains 6.5 inches of water on top of the mercury column (so there is also water vapor instead of a vacuum at the top of the barometer)"

=> "On a day when the temperature is 70oF, the mercury column height is 28.35 inches (corrected for thermal expansion)."

With these knowledge, let us delve right into the solution;

(a). The barometric pressure = water vapor pressure + acceleration due to gravity (ft/s^2) × water density(slug/ft^3) × {ft/12 in}^3 × [ height of mercury column + specific gravity of mercury × height of water column].

The barometric pressure= 0.363 + {(62.146) ÷ (12^3) × 390.6425}. = 14.4 lbf/in^2.

(b). { (13.55 × length of mercury) + 6.5 } × (62.15÷ 12^3) = 14.4 - 0.603.

Length of mercury = 27.8 in.

AS THE TEMPERATURE INCREASES, THE LENGTH OF MERCURY DECREASES.
