A solid block of copper, which is a good conductor, has a cavity in its interior. Within the cavity, insulated from the conducto

r, is a point charge of 3.00 nCnC. The block of copper itself has an excess charge of -8.00 nCnC. How much charge is on the outer surface of the block and the surface of the cavity

Answer:

The charge on the outer surface of the block = -5.00 nC

The charge on the surface of the cavity (on the inner surface of the block) = -3.00 nC

Explanation:

The point charge within the cavity will induce a charge equal in magnitude and opposite in sign on the inside cavities of the copper block.

Charge of the point charge = 3.00 nC

Charge induced on the inner surface of the Copper block's cavity = -3.00 nC

Since the charge on a conductor should usually be neutral, the charge on the inner surface causes a charge equal in magnitude and also opposite in sign on the outer surface of the block; that is, 3.00 nC.

But this block already has an excess charge of -8.00 nC (which resides on the surface because excess charge for conductors reside on the surface of the conductors)

So, net charge on the outer surface of the Copper block = -8.00 + 3.00 = -5.00 nC.

Hope this Helps!!!

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Orbital radius of satellite A , Ra = 6370 + 6370 = 12740 km

Orbital radius of satellite B , Rb = 6370 + 19110 = 25480 km

Orbital potential energy of a satellite = - GMm / r where G is gravitational constant , M is mass of the earth and m is mass of the satellite

Orbital potential energy of a satellite A = - GMm / Ra

Orbital potential energy of a satellite B = - GMm / Rb

PE of satellite B /PE of satellite A

=  Ra / Rb

= 12740 / 25480

= 1 / 2

b ) Kinetic energy of a satellite is half the potential energy with positive value , so ratio of their kinetic energy will also be same

KE of satellite B /KE of satellite A

= 1 / 2

c ) Total energy will be as follows

Total energy = - PE + KE

- P E + PE/2

= - PE /2

Total energy of satellite B / Total energy of A

= 1 / 2

Satellite B will have greater total energy because its negative value is less.

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

Energy conservation.

Explanation:

The 1st Law of Thermodynamics is a statement about energy conservation. It states that \Delta U=Q-W, which means that if we <u>substract the work W done</u> by the system to the <u>heat Q given</u> to the system we get the <u>change in the internal energy</u> \Delta U, so any excess in energy given to the system appears as internal energy, stating that energy is conserved.

Why are there so few working wave power stations?
Bond [772]
Well mostly because it's for oceans and lakes that have waves. so if you don't live near any of these, you wouldn't be getting power. <span />

A uniform disk with mass 35.2 kg and radius 0.200 m is pivoted at its center about a horizontal, frictionless axle that is stati
Sergio [31]

Answer:

a) v = 1.01 m/s

b) a = 5.6 m/s²

Explanation:

a)

  • If the disk is initially at rest, and it is applied a constant force tangential to the rim, we can apply the following expression (that resembles Newton's 2nd law, applying to rigid bodies instead of point masses) as follows:

       \tau = I * \alpha  (1)

  • Where τ is the external torque applied to the body, I is the rotational inertia of the body regarding the axis of rotation, and α is the angular acceleration as a consequence of the torque.
  • Since the force is applied tangentially to the rim of the disk, it's perpendicular to the radius, so the torque can be calculated simply as follows:
  • τ = F*r (2)
  • For a solid uniform disk, the rotational inertia regarding an axle passing through its center  is just I = m*r²/2 (3).
  • Replacing (2) and (3) in (1), we can solve for α, as follows:

       \alpha = \frac{2*F}{m*r} = \frac{2*34.5N}{35.2kg*0.2m} = 9.8 rad/s2 (4)

  • Since the angular acceleration is constant, we can use the following kinematic equation:

        \omega_{f}^{2}  - \omega_{o}^{2} = 2*\Delta \theta * \alpha (5)

  • Prior to solve it, we need to convert the angle rotated from revs to radians, as follows:

       0.2 rev*\frac{2*\pi rad}{1 rev} = 1.3 rad (6)

  • Replacing (6) in (5), taking into account that ω₀ = 0 (due to the disk starts from rest), we can solve for ωf, as follows:

       \omega_{f} = \sqrt{2*\alpha *\Delta\theta} = \sqrt{2*1.3rad*9.8rad/s2} = 5.1 rad/sec (7)

  • Now, we know that there exists a fixed relationship the tangential speed and the angular speed, as follows:

        v = \omega * r (8)

  • where r is the radius of the circular movement. If we want to know the tangential speed of a point located on the rim of  the disk, r becomes the radius of the disk, 0.200 m.
  • Replacing this value and (7) in (8), we get:

       v= 5.1 rad/sec* 0.2 m = 1.01 m/s (9)

b)    

  • There exists a fixed relationship between the tangential and the angular acceleration in a circular movement, as follows:

       a_{t} = \alpha * r (9)

  • where r is the radius of the circular movement. In this case the point is located on the rim of the disk, so r becomes the radius of the disk.
  • Replacing this value and (4), in (9), we get:

       a_{t}  = 9.8 rad/s2 * 0.200 m = 1.96 m/s2 (10)

  • Now, the resultant acceleration of a point of the rim, in magnitude, is the vector sum of the tangential acceleration and the radial acceleration.
  • The radial acceleration is just the centripetal acceleration, that can be expressed as follows:

       a_{c} = \omega^{2} * r  (11)

  • Since we are asked to get the acceleration after the disk has rotated 0.2 rev, and we have just got the value of the angular speed after rotating this same angle, we can replace (7) in (11).
  • Since the point is located on the rim of the disk, r becomes simply the radius of the disk,, 0.200 m.
  • Replacing this value and (7) in (11) we get:

       a_{c} = \omega^{2} * r   = (5.1 rad/sec)^{2} * 0.200 m = 5.2 m/s2 (12)

  • The magnitude of the resultant acceleration will be simply the vector sum of the tangential and the radial acceleration.
  • Since both are perpendicular each other, we can find the resultant acceleration applying the Pythagorean Theorem to both perpendicular components, as follows:

       a = \sqrt{a_{t} ^{2} + a_{c} ^{2} } = \sqrt{(1.96m/s2)^{2} +(5.2m/s2)^{2} } = 5.6 m/s2 (13)
