Answer:

$E=2.88\times 10^5\ N/C$

Explanation:

It is given that,

The radius of the solid sphere, R = 50 cm = 0.5 m

Charge on the sphere, $q=40\ \mu C=40\times 10^{-6}\ C$

We need to find the magnitude of the electric field r = 10.0 cm away from the center of the sphere. The electric field at point r away form the center of the sphere is given by :

$E=\dfrac{kqr}{R^3}$

$E=\dfrac{9\times 10^9\times 40\times 10^{-6}\times 0.1}{0.5^3}$

$E=2.88\times 10^5\ N/C$

So, the electric field 10.0 cm away from the center of the sphere is $2.88\times 10^5\ N/C$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

A man stands on a platform that is rotating (without friction) with an angular speed of 1.0 rev/s; his arms are outstretched and

Airida [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

$N_1=1 rev/s$

angular velocity $\omega =2\pi N_1=6.284 rad/s$

Combined moment of inertia of stool,student and bricks $=6\ kg.m^2$

Now student pull off his hands so as to increase its speed to suppose $N_2$ rev/s

$\omega _2=2\pi N_2$

After Pulling off hands so final moment of inertia is

$I_2=2\ kg-m^2$

Conserving angular momentum as no external torque is applied

$I_1\omega _1=I_2\omega _2$

$6\times 6.284=2\times \omega _2$

$\omega _2=18.85\ rad/s$

$N_2=3 rev/s$

When the cornea and lens of the eye do not properly focus

frutty [35]

Answer:

When there is nearsightedness or myopia

Explanation:

As, in myopia the image is formed in front of the retina.

Which makes things looking at things near very easy, but looking at far away things very difficult.

So concave lens makes things look bigger, so therefore, it is used during myopia, to make things look bigger when they are far away

*please refer to photo* An electric field of magnitude 5.25 ✕ 10^5N/C points due south at a certain location. Find the magnitude

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

Approximately $3.86\; {\rm N}$ (given that the magnitude of this charge is $-7.35\; {\rm \mu C}$ .)

Explanation:

If a charge of magnitude $q$ is placed in an electric field of magnitude $E$ , the magnitude of the electrostatic force on that charge would be $F = E\, q$ .

The magnitude of this charge is $q = 7.35\; {\rm \mu C}$ . Apply the unit conversion $1\; {\rm \mu C} = 10^{-6}\; {\rm C}$ :

$\begin{aligned} q &= 7.35\; {\mu C} \times \frac{10^{-6}\; {\rm C}}{1\; {\mu C}} = 7.35\times 10^{-6}\; {\rm C}\end{aligned}$ .

An electric field of magnitude $E = 5.25\times 10^{5}\; {\rm N \cdot C^{-1}}$ would exert on this charge a force with a magnitude of:

$\begin{aligned}F &= E\, q \\ &= 5.25 \times 10^{5}\; {\rm N \cdot C^{-1}} \times (-7.35\times 10^{-6}\; {\rm C}) \\ &\approx 3.86\; {\rm N}\end{aligned}$ .

Note that the electric charge in this question is negative. Hence, electrostatic force on this charge would be opposite in direction to the the electric field. Since the electric field points due south, the electrostatic force on this charge would point due north.
