Answer:

Part(a): the capacitance is 0.013 nF.

Part(b): the radius of the inner sphere is 3.1 cm.

Part(c): the electric field just outside the surface of inner sphere is \bf{2.81 \times 10^{4}~n~C^{-1}}.

Explanation:

We know that if 'a' and 'b' are the inner and outer radii of the shell respectively, 'Q' is the total charge contains by the capacitor subjected to a potential difference of 'V' and '\epsilon_{0}' be the permittivity of free space, then the capacitance (C) of the spherical shell can be written as

C = \dfrac{4 \pi \epsilon_{0}}{(\dfrac{1}{a} - \dfrac{1}{b})}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(1)

Part(a):

Given, charge contained by the capacitor Q = 3.00 nC and potential to which it is subjected to is V = 230V.

So the capacitance (C) of the shell is

C &=& \dfrac{Q}{V} = \dfrac{3 \times 10^{-90}~C}{230~V} = 1.3 \times 10^{-11}~F = 0.013~nF

Part(b):

Given the inner radius of the outer shell b = 4.3 cm = 0.043 m. Therefore, from equation (1), rearranging the terms,

&& \dfrac{1}{a} = \dfrac{1}{b} + \dfrac{1}{C/4 \pi \epsilon_{0}} = \dfrac{1}{0.043} + \dfrac{1}{1.3 \times 10^{-11} \times 9 \times 10^{9}} = 31.79\\&or,& a = \dfrac{1}{31.79}~m = 0.031~m = 3.1~cm

Part(c):

If we apply Gauss' law of electrostatics, then

&& E~4 \pi a^{2} = \dfrac{Q}{\epsilon_{0}}\\&or,& E = \dfrac{Q}{4 \pi \epsilon_{0}a^{2}}\\&or,& E = \dfrac{3 \times 10^{-9} \times 9 \times 10^{9}}{0.031^{2}}~N~C^{-1}\\&or,& E = 2.81 \times 10^{4}~N~C^{-1}

A juggler throws a bowling pin straight up with an initial speed of 8.20 m/s. How much time elapses until the bowling pin return
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

1.68 s

Explanation:

From newton's equation of motion,

a = (v-u)/t.................................. Equation 1

Making t the subject of the equation

t =(v-u)g............................. Equation 2

Where t = time taken for the bowling pin to reach the maximum height, v = final velocity bowling pin, u = initial velocity of the bowling pin, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Note: Taking upward to be negative and down ward to be positive,

Given: v = 0 m/s ( at the maximum height), u = 8.20 m/s, g = -9.8 m/s²

t = (0-8.20)/-9.8

t = -8.20/-9.8

t = 0.84 s.

But,

T = 2t

Where T = time taken for the bowling pin to return to the juggler's hand.

T = 2(0.84)

T = 1.68 s.

T = 1.68 s

Explain why the boiling point of a liquid varies with atmospheric pressure
OLEGan [10]
The boiling point of water, or any liquid, varies according to the surrounding atmospheric pressure. A liquid boils, or begins turning to vapor, when its internal vapor pressure equals the atmospheric pressure.
