Complete Question

A solid ball of radius rb has a uniform charge density ρ.

a.  What is the magnitude of the electric field E(r) at a distance r>rb from the center of the ball?  Express your answer in terms of ρ, rb, r, and ϵ0.

b.   What is the magnitude of the electric field E(r) at a distance r<rb from the center of the ball?  Express your answer in terms of ρ, r, rb, and ϵ0.

c.   Let E(r) represent the electric field due to the charged ball throughout all of space. Which of the following statements about the electric field are true?

1. E(0) = 0.

2. E(rb) = 0

3. lim E(r) = 0.

4. The maximum electric field occurs when r = 0.

5. The maximum electric field occurs when r = rb.

6. The maximum electric field occurs as r to infinity.

Answer:

a) the magnitude of E(r)= ρr³/3 ε₀r²

b) the magnitude at distance r from the centre E(r)= ρr/3 ε ₀ ( if r<rb)

c) statements 1(E(0) = 0), 3(E(0) = 0) and 5(The maximum electric field occurs when r = rb.) are true

Explanation:

given

charge density = ρ ,  ε

Volume of sphere , V = (⁴/₃)πr³

a) charge density = charge/volume

ρ = q ÷ V

make charge the subject of the formula

∴q = ρ × V=  ρ× (⁴/₃)πr³

where r³ = rb³(at distance rb³)

recall

E= q/4πε₀r²

E=  ρ × (⁴/₃)πrb³/4πε₀r²

∴E(r)= ρrb³/3 ε ₀r²

(b)  The Gaussian surface is inside the ball, therefore, surface only encloses a portion of ball's charge .

The net charge enclosed by the Gaussian surface is different to the of net charge enclosed in (a)

Recall

E= q/4πε₀r²

V= (⁴/₃)πr³

E=  ρ × (⁴/₃)πr³/4πε₀r²

∴E(r)= ρr/3 ε₀

(c)  E(0)= 0

limr-----∝

E(r)= 0

The maximum electric field occurs when r=rb.

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let h be the height .

initial velocity in first case u = 0

final velocity v = 6 m /s

acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m /s²

v² = u² + 2 g h

6² = 0 + 2 x 9.8 x h

h = 1.837 m .

For second case u = 3 m /s

v² = u² + 2 gh

= 3² + 2 x 1.837 x 9.8

= 9 + 36

= 45 m

v = 6.7 m /s

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

1.40 m/s^2

Explanation:

Given data

Velocity= 17.4 m/s

time= 12.4 seconds

We want to find the acceleration of the rock

We know that

acceleration = velocity/time

Substitute

acceleration= 17.4/12.4

acceleration=1.40 m/s^2

Hence the acceleration is 1.40 m/s^2

This problem here is an example of inelastic collision where kinetic energy is not conserved but momentum is. We calculate as follows:

m1v1 + m2v2 = (m1 + m2)v3
v3 = m1v1 + m2v2  / m1 + m2
v3 = (30.2)(1000) + (5000)(0) / (30.2 + 5000)
v3 = 6.00 m/s

Pachacha [2.7K]

Complete Question

A truck going 15 km/h has a head-on collision with a small car going 30 km/h. Which statement best describes the situation?

A. the truck has the greater change of momentum because it has the greater mass

B. the car has the greater change of momentum because it has the greater speed

C. neither the car nor the truck changes its momentum in the collision because momentum is conserved

D. they both have the same change in magnitude of momentum because momentum is conserved

E. none of the above is necessarily true

Answer:

D. They both have the same change in magnitude of momentum because     momentum is conserved

Explanation:

In order to get a good understanding of the solution above we define some

concetps

   Momentum

This is defines quantified motion and can be mathematically represented as  

      Momentum =  Mass of the body × Velocity of the body

According to the Law of conservation of momentum states that when two particles collide together in a system that is being isolated that their total momentum before and after their collision is equal this means that the momentum lost by the truck would be the same as the momentum gained by the small car
