Answer:

\mathbf{U = \dfrac{3 k_c Q^2_{total}}{5R}}

Explanation:

From the information given;

The surface area of a sphere = 4 \pi r ^2

If the sphere is from the collection of spherical shells of infinitesimal thickness = dr

Then,

the volume of the  thickness and the sphere is;

V = 4 \pi r ^2 \ dr

Using Gauss Law

V(r) = \dfrac{k_cq(r)}{r}

here,

q(r) =charge built up contained in radius r

since we are talking about collections of spherical shells, to work required for the next spherical shell r +dr is

-dW= dU = V(r) dq = \dfrac{k_c \ q(r)}{r} \ dq

where;

q (r) = \dfrac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \rho

dq which is the charge contained in the  next shell of charge

here dq = volume of the shell multiply by the density

dq = 4 \pi r^2 \ dr  \ \rho

equating it all together

dU = \dfrac{k_c \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \rho}{r} 4 \pi r^2 \ dr \ \rho = \dfrac{16 \pi^2 \ k_c \ \rho^2}{3} \ r^4 \ dr

Integration the work required from the initial radius r to the final radius R, we get;

U = \int^R_0 \ dU

U = \int^R_0  \dfrac{16 \pi^2 \ k_c \rho^2}{3} r^4 \ dr

U = \int^R_0  \dfrac{16 \pi^2 \ k_c \rho^2}{3} [\dfrac{r^5}{5}]^R_0

U = \dfrac{16 \pi^2 k_c \rho^2}{15} \ R^5

Recall that:

the total charge on a sphere, i.e Q_{total} = \dfrac{4}{3} \pi R^3 \rho

Then :

\mathbf{U = \dfrac{3 k_c Q^2_{total}}{5R}}

Define 1 second time​
malfutka [58]

Answer:

define 1 second time

One second is the time that elapses during 9,192,631,770 (9.192631770 x 10 9 ) cycles of the radiation produced by the transition between two levels of the cesium 133 atom. ... One second is equal to 1/86,400 of a mean solar day.

Please give a explanation if possible Tysm!
Artist 52 [7]
Claim 2: Molecules speed up when they get energy from other molecules and slow down when they give energy to other molecules.
Energy can’t be destroyed (stated in claim 1) so claim 2 is more than likely to be correct

A charged sphere with 1 × 10 8 units of negative charge is brought near a neutral metal rod. The half of the rod closer to the s
jeyben [28]

Answer:

-4*10⁴ units.

Explanation:

As the metal rod was initially neutral (which means that it has the same quantity of positive and negative charges), after being close to the charged sphere, as charge must be conserved, the total charge of the metal rod must  still remain to be zero.

So, if due to the influence of the negative charge in the sphere, the half of the road closer to the sphere has a surplus charge of +4*10⁴ units, the charge on the half of the rod farther from the sphere must be the same in magnitude but of the opposite sign, i.e., -4*10⁴ units.

6. A 4 kg object hangs below a 6 kg object by a string of negligible mass. If the 6 kg object is pulled upward by a force of 440
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

T =176 N

Explanation:

from diagram

F -(m_1+m_2_g) = (m_1+m_2_g)a

440 - (6+4)g = (6+4)a

a =\frac{440-10*9.8}{10}

a =34.2 m/s^2

frrom free body diagram of mass m2 = 4kg

T -m_2g =m_2a

T = m_2(g +a)

T = 4(9.81+34.2)

T =176 N
