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_______covalent bond is when atoms of two different elements form a covalent bond.
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

Explanation:    Covalent bonding occurs when pairs of electrons are shared by atoms. Atoms will covalently bond with other atoms in order to gain more stability, which is gained by forming a full electron shell. By sharing their outermost (valence) electrons, atoms can fill up their outer electron shell and gain stability.

If only an external force can change the velocity of a body, how can the internal force of the brakes bring a car to rest? 1. It
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

4. It is the force of the road on the tires (an external force) that stops the car.

Explanation:

If there is no friction between the road and the tires, the car won't stop.

You can see this, for example, when there is ice on the road. You can still apply the brakes (internal force), but since there is no friction (external force) the car won't stop.

The force of the brakes on the wheels is not what makes the car stop, it is the friction of the road against still tires that makes it stop.

This is a two part question: What is the force of friction acting on a 100 kg steel slab at rest on a steel floor?
Crazy boy [7]
1) 0N... friction opposes the motion of an object, since the block is at rest there is no motion thus no friction

2) F=ma
= (5.5kg)(30m/s)
=165 N
