(a) The potential on the surface of a charged sphere of radius R is equal to
V(R) = k_e  \frac{Q}{R}
where k_e = 8.99 \cdot 10^9 N m^2 C^{-2} is the Coulomb's constant, Q is the charge on the sphere's surface.
For the generator mentioned in the problem, the charge is Q= 5 mC=5 \cdot 10^{-3} C, while the radius is R= \frac{d}{2}= \frac{2.0 m}{2} =1.0 m. Using these values in the formula, we can calculate the potential at the surface:
V(R)=8.99 \cdot 10^9 N m^2 C^{-2}  \frac{5 \cdot 10^{-3} C}{1.0 m}=4.5 \cdot 10^7 V

(b) The potential generated by the sphere at a certain distance r from the centre of the sphere is given by
V(r) = k_e  \frac{Q}{r}
the problem asks at which distance V(r) = 1 mV=1\cdot 10^{-3} V. Substituting in the previous formula we can find the value of r:
r=k_e  \frac{Q}{V(r)}= 8.99 \cdot 10^9 N m^2 C^{-2} \frac{5 \cdot 10^{-3}}{1\cdot 10^{-3} V}=4.5 \cdot 10^{10} m

(c) An oxygen atom with 3 missing electrons has a positive charge of +3e, with e being the elementary charge.
The electric potential energy of a charged particle located at some point with voltage V is
U=q V
where q is the charge of the particle, which is in our case q=+3e. So we can calculate the energy of the oxygen atom at the distance found in part b, which corresponds to r=4.5 \cdot 10^{10}m and a voltage of V=1 mV:
U=(3 e)(1 mV) = 3 meV

Find the moments of inertia Ix, Iy, I0 for a lamina that occupies the part of the disk x2 y2 ≤ 36 in the first quadrant if the d
Tasya [4]

Answer:

I(x)  = 1444×k ×{\pi}

I(y)  = 1444×k ×{\pi}

I(o) = 3888×k ×{\pi}  

Explanation:

Given data

function =  x^2 + y^2 ≤ 36

function =  x^2 + y^2 ≤ 6^2

to find out

the moments of inertia Ix, Iy, Io

solution

first we consider the polar coordinate (a,θ)

and polar is directly proportional to a²

so p = k × a²

so that

x = a cosθ

y = a sinθ

dA = adθda

so

I(x) = ∫y²pdA

take limit 0 to 6 for a and o to \pi /2 for θ

I(x) = \int_{0}^{6}\int_{0}^{\pi/2} y²p dA

I(x) = \int_{0}^{6}\int_{0}^{\pi/2} (a sinθ)²(k × a²) adθda

I(x) = k  \int_{0}^{6}a^(5)  da ×  \int_{0}^{\pi/2}  (sin²θ)dθ

I(x) = k  \int_{0}^{6}a^(5)  da ×  \int_{0}^{\pi/2}  (1-cos2θ)/2 dθ

I(x)  = k ({r}^{6}/6)^(5)_0 ×  {θ/2 - sin2θ/4}^{\pi /2}_0

I(x)  = k × ({6}^{6}/6) × (  {\pi /4} - sin\pi /4)

I(x)  = k ×  ({6}^{5}) ×   {\pi /4}

I(x)  = 1444×k ×{\pi}    .....................1

and we can say I(x) = I(y)   by the symmetry rule

and here I(o) will be  I(x) + I(y) i.e

I(o) = 2 × 1444×k ×{\pi}

I(o) = 3888×k ×{\pi}   ......................2

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

In 0.5 seconds.

Explanation:

The time would be the same because it only depends on the height and the vertical component of the initial velocity. This is of course because each direction must be treated independently. Since between both cases only the horizontal speed changes, the height is the same and the vertical component of the initial velocity is null for both, the time to fall is the same.

sergij07 [2.7K]

Explanation:

m = kg. v=m/s. g=m/s^2. h= m

>>1/2mv^2=mgh

>>1/2mv^2=mgh>> kg*(m/s)^2= kg*m/s^2*m

>>1/2mv^2=mgh>> kg*(m/s)^2= kg*m/s^2*m>>kg m^2/s^2=kg m^2/s^2 the fraction 1/2 won't be able to make any changes to to the dimensional expression of energy i.e half of energy is still energy therefore you can neglect the number .

<u>>>kg m^2/s^2=kg m^2/s^2</u><u> </u>
