Answer:

(a) E=0  :   0 cm from the center of the sphere

(b) E= 227.8*10³ N/C   :    10.0 cm from the center of the sphere

(c)E= 911.25*10³ N/C    :    40.0 cm from the center of the sphere

(d)E= 411.84 * 10³ N/C  :    59.5 cm from the center of the sphere

Explanation:

If we have a uniform charge sphere we can use the following formulas to calculate the Electric field due to the charge of the sphere

E=\frac{K*Q}{r^{2} } : Formula (1) To calculate the electric field in the region outside the sphere r ≥ a

E=k*\frac{Q}{a^{3} } *r :Formula (2) To calculate the electric field in the inner region of the sphere. r ≤ a

Where:

K: coulomb constant

a: sphere radius

Q:  Total sphere charge

r : Distance from the center of the sphere to the region where the electric field is calculated

Equivalences

1μC=10⁻⁶C

1cm= 10⁻²m

Data

k= 9*10⁹ N*m²/C²

Q=16.2 μC=16.2 *10⁻⁶C

a= 40 cm = 40*10⁻²m = 0.4m

Problem development

(a)Magnitude of the electric field at  0 cm :

We replace r=0 in the formula (2) , then, E=0

(b) Magnitude of the electric field at 10.0 cm from the center of the sphere

r<a , We apply the Formula (2):

E=9*10^{9} *\frac{16.2*10^{-6} }{0.4^{3} } *0.1

E= 227.8*10³ N/C

(c) Magnitude of the electric field at 40.0 cm from the center of the sphere

r=a, We apply the Formula (1) :

E=\frac{9*10^{9}*16.2*10^{-6} }{0.4^{2} }

E= 911.25*10³ N/C

(d) Magnitude of the electric field at 59.5 cm from the center of the sphere  

r>a , We apply the Formula (1) :

E=\frac{9*10^{9}*16.2*10^{-6} }{0.595^{2} }

E= 411.84 * 10³ N/C

A train traveling at 6.4 m/s accelerates at 0.10 m/s 2 over a distance of 100 m. How large is the train’s final velocity?
klasskru [66]

The final velocity of the train at the end of the given distance is 7.81 m/s.

The given parameters;

  • initial velocity of the train, u = 6.4 m/s
  • acceleration of the train, a = 0.1 m/s²
  • distance traveled, s = 100 m

The final velocity of the train at the end of the given distance is calculated using the following kinematic equation;

v² = u² + 2as

v² = (6.4)² + (2 x 0.1 x 100)

v² = 60.96

v = √60.96

v = 7.81 m/s

Thus, the final velocity of the train at the end of the given distance is 7.81 m/s.

An electron moves in the plane of this screen toward the top of the screen. A magnetic field is also in the plane of the screen
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer: the direction of the magnetic force on the electron will be moving out of the screen, perpendicular to the magnetic field.

Explanation:

The magnetic force F on a moving electron at right angle to a magnetic field is given by the formula:

F = BqVSinØ

If an electron moves in the plane of this screen toward the top of the screen. A magnetic field is also in the plane of the screen and directed toward the right. Then, the direction of the magnetic force on the electron will be perpendicular to the magnetic field

According to the Fleming's left - hand rule, the direction of the magnetic force on the electron will be moving out of the plane of the screen.
