A straight, nonconducting plastic wire 8.00 cm long carries a charge density of 100 nC/m distributed uniformly along its length.
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

(A) 16641 N/C (B) 72000 N/C

Explanation:

We have given the length of the wire = 8 cm =0.08 m

Charge density = 100 nC/m

So charge = 100 ×0.08 = 8 nC =8\times 10^{-9}C

(A) Electric field E that produce 6 cm directly above its midpoint will be

E=\frac{KQ}{X\sqrt{X^2+a^2}}=\frac{9\times 10^9\times 8\times 10^{-9}}{0.06\sqrt{0.06^2+(\frac{0.08}{2})^2}}=16641N/C

Here X is the distance where we have to find the electric field

(B) Now electric field due to flat ring will be

E=\frac{KQX}{(X^2+a^2)^\frac{3}{2}}

Here X is the distance where we have to find the electric field

So E=\frac{9\times 10^9\times 8\times 10^{-9}}{(0.06^2+0.08^2)^\frac{3}{2}}=72000N/C

You have two steel solid spheres. sphere 2 has twice the radius of sphere 1. part a by what factor does the moment of inertia i2
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

moment of inertia of sphere 2 is 32 times the moment of inertia of sphere 1

Explanation:

The moment of inertia of a solid sphere about its axis is

I=\frac{2}{5}MR^2

where

M is the mass of the sphere

R is the radius of the sphere

The mass of the sphere can be rewritten as

M=\rho V

where

\rho is the density

V=\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3 is the volume of the sphere

So the moment of inertia becomes

I=\frac{2}{5}(\frac{4}{3}\pi \rho R^3)R^2 = \frac{8}{15}\pi \rho R^5

Calling R the radius of sphere 1, the moment of inertia of sphere 1 is

I_1=\frac{8}{15}\pi \rho R^5

where \rho is the density of steel, since the sphere is made of steel

Sphere 2 has twice the radius of sphere 1, so

R' = 2R

and so its moment of inertia is

I_2=\frac{8}{15}\pi \rho R'^5=\frac{8}{15}\pi \rho (2R)^5=32(\frac{8}{15}\pi \rho R^5)=32I_1

So, the moment of inertia of sphere 2 is 4 times the moment of inertia of sphere 1.

What is the specific heat of the masses in this experiment? Infer the substance the masses are made of and explain your inferenc
Liono4ka [1.6K]

The metal whose specific heat capacity is close to the obtained value is aluminum.

<h3>What is specific heat capacity</h3>

The specific heat capacity of an object is the heat required to raise a unit mass of the substance by 1 kelvin.

Q= mc\Delta \theta

where;

  • c is the specific heat capacity
  • Δθ is change in temperature

Let the mass of the water = 50 g

mass of the metal for this first trial = 50 g

The heat gained by the water is calculated as follows

Q = 50 \times 4.184 \times 8.4\\\\Q = 1757.28 \ J

Specific heat capacity of the metal for the first trial is calculated as follows;

Heat gained by water = Heat lost by metal

C = \frac{Q}{m\Delta T} = \frac{1757.28}{50\times 8.4} = 4.184 \ J/g^oC

Specific heat capacity of the metal for the second trial;

mass of metal = 200 - mass of water = 150 g

C_2 = \frac{1757.28}{150 \times 15.2} = 0.77 \ J/g^oC

Specific heat capacity of the metal for the third trial;

C_3 = \frac{1757.28}{250 \times 20.8} = 0.34\ J/g^oC

Specific heat capacity of the metal for the fourth trial;

C_4 = \frac{1757.28}{350 \times 25.4} = 0.19\ J/g^oC

Specific heat capacity of the metal for the fifth trial;

C_5 = \frac{1757.28}{450 \times 29.6} = 0.13\ J/g^oC

Average specific heat capacity

C = \frac{4.184 + 0.77 + 0.34+ 0.19 + 0.13 }{5} = 1.12 \ J/g^oC = 1120 J/kg^oC

The metal whose specific heat capacity is close to the above value is aluminum.
