A nonconducting sphere of diameter 10.0 cm carries charge distributed uniformly inside with charge density of +5.50 µC/m3 . A pr

Answer:

t = 2.58*10^-6 s

Explanation:

For a nonconducting sphere you have that the value of the electric field, depends of the region:

rR:\\\\E=k\frac{Q}{r^2}

k: Coulomb's constant = 8.98*10^9 Nm^2/C^2

R: radius of the sphere = 10.0/2 = 5.0cm=0.005m

In this case you can assume that the proton is in the region for r > R. Furthermore you use the secon Newton law in order to find the acceleration of the proton produced by the force:

F=m_pa\\\\qE=m_pa\\\\k\frac{qQ}{r^2}=m_pa\\\\a=k\frac{qQ}{m_pr^2}

Due to the proton is just outside the surface you can use r=R and calculate the acceleration. Also, you take into account the charge density of the sphere in order to compute the total charge:

Q=\rho V=(5.5*10^{-6}C/m^3)(\frac{4}{3}\pi(0.05m)^3)=2.87*10^{-9}C\\\\a=(8.98*10^9Nm^2/C^2)\frac{(1.6*10^{-19}C)(2.87*10^{-9}C)}{(1.67*10^{-27}kg)(0.05m)^2}=9.87*10^{11}\frac{m}{s^2}

with this values of a you can use the following formula:

a=\frac{v-v_o}{t}\\\\t=\frac{v-v_o}{a}=\frac{2550*10^3m/s-0m/s}{9.87*10^{11}m/s^2}=2.58*10^{-6}s

hence, the time that the proton takes to reach a speed of 2550km is 2.58*10^-6 s

kondor19780726 [428]
Define unit vectors as follows:
\hat{i} is in the eastern direction.
\hat{j} is in the northern direction.

The position of the first bird is
\vec{a} = -3.6 \, \hat{i} + 1.8 \, \hat{j}

The position of the second bird is
\vec{b} = - 1.8 \, \hat{i} + 3.6 \, \hat{j}

Let θ = the angle between the net displacement vector for the two birds.
By definition,
\vec{a} . \vec{b} = |a| |b| cos\theta \\\\ \theta = cos^{-1} ( \frac{\vec{a}.\vec{b}}{|a||b|} )

\vec{a}.\vec{b} = (-3.6)(-1.8)+(3.6)(1.8) = 12.96
|a| =  \sqrt{3.24+12.96} =4.025
Similarly,
|b| = 4.025

Therefore
\theta = cos^{-1}  \frac{12.96}{4.025^{2}} =36.9^{o}

A pendulum has 294 J of potential energy at the highest point of its swing. How much kinetic energy will it have at the bottom o
baherus [9]

Newton's law of conservation states that energy of an isolated system remains a constant. It can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed from one form to the other.


Implying the above law of conservation of energy in the case of pendulum we can conclude that at the bottom of the swing the entire potential energy gets converted to kinetic energy. Also the potential energy is zero at this point.


Mathematically also potential energy is represented as


Potential energy= mgh


Where m is the mass of the pendulum.


g is the acceleration due to gravity


h is the height from the bottom z the ground.


At the bottom of the swing,the height is zero, hence the potential energy is also zero.


The kinetic energy is represented mathematically as


Kinetic energy= 1/2 mv^2


Where m is the mass of the pendulum


v is the velocity of the pendulum


At the bottom the pendulum has the maximum velocity. Hence the kinetic energy is maximum at the bottom.


Energy can neither be created e destroyed. It can only be transferred from one form to another. Implying this law and the above explainations we conclude that at the bottom of the pendulum,the potential energy=0 and the kinetic energy=294J as the entire potential energy is converted to kinetic energy at the bottom.
