Answer:

A) 1.4167 × 10^(-11) F

B) r_a = 0.031 m

C) E = 3.181 × 10⁴ N/C

Explanation:

We are given;

Charge;Q = 3.40 nC = 3.4 × 10^(-9) C

Potential difference;V = 240 V

Inner radius of outer sphere;r_b = 4.1 cm = 0.041 m

A) The formula for capacitance is given by;

C = Q/V

C = (3.4 × 10^(-9))/240

C = 1.4167 × 10^(-11) F

B) To find the radius of the inner sphere,we will make use of the formula for capacitance of spherical coordinates.

C = (4πε_o)/(1/r_a - 1/r_b)

Rearranging, we have;

(1/r_a - 1/r_b) = (4πε_o)/C

ε_o is a constant with a value of 8.85 × 10^(−12) C²/N.m

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

(1/r_a - 1/0.041) = (4π × 8.85 × 10^(−12) )/(1.4167 × 10^(-11))

(1/r_a) - 24.3902 = 7.8501

1/r_a = 7.8501 + 24.3902

1/r_a = 32.2403

r_a = 1/32.2403

r_a = 0.031 m

C) Formula for Electric field just outside the surface of the inner sphere is given by;

E = kQ/r_a²

Where k is a constant value of 8.99 × 10^(9) Nm²/C²

Thus;

E = (8.99 × 10^(9) × 3.4 × 10^(-9))/0.031²

E = 3.181 × 10⁴ N/C

What is a sedimentary, igneous, and a metamorphic rock?
Tanya [424]

Answer:

Igneous rock , formed by the cooling of magma (molten rock) inside the Earth or on the surface. Sedimentary rocks, formed from the products of weathering by cementation or precipitation on the Earth's surface. Metamorphic rocks, formed by temperature and pressure changes inside the Earth.

A satellite orbits Earth. The only force on the satellite is the gravitational force exerted by Earth. How does the satellite’s
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

here we can say that acceleration of the satellite is same as the gravitational field due to Earth at that location

Explanation:

As we know that gravitational field is defined as the force experienced by the satellite per unit of mass

so we will have

E = \frac{F}{m}

now in order to find the acceleration of the satellite we know by Newton's II law

F = ma

so we will have

a = \frac{F}{m}

so here we can say that acceleration of the satellite is same as the gravitational field due to Earth at that location

If you traveled one mile at a speed of 100 miles per hour and another mile at a speed if 1 mile per hour, your average speed wou
Semenov [28]

Answer:

v = 1.98 mph

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed to travel one mile is 100 mph

Speed to travel another mile is 1 mph

The formula used to find your average speed is given by :

v=\dfrac{2v_1v_2}{v_1+v_2}

Putting the values, we get :

v=\dfrac{2\times 100\times 1}{100+1}

v = 1.98 mph

So, yours average speed is 1.98 mph.
