A spinning top rotates so that its edge turns at a constant speed of 0.63 m/s. If the top has a radius of 0.10 m, what is the
2 answers:
Answer:
The centripetal acceleration of the edge of the top
Explanation:
Given:
Speed with which the top rotates = 0.63 m/s
Radius of the top = 0.10 m
To Find:
Centripetal acceleration of the edge of the top =?
Solution:
The centripetal acceleration is the rate at which the tangential velocity changes. Also its direction is always inwards along the radius vector of the circular motion.
We know that centripetal acceleration is
Where
v = velocity
r = radius
Substituting the values

Electric field strength near the surface of sphere is given by
Now we have
Q = 1 C
R = 5 cm
now electric field is given by
Part B)
Since charge on the sphere is very large to electric field near its surface is too high. So this is reasonable result near it.
Part c)
As per our assumption the charge is uniformly distributed on the surface and there is no effect of surrounding charge or surrounding electric field.
