Answer:

The fraction of the object that is below the surface of the water is ¹⁷/₂₀

Explanation:

Given;

specific gravity of the object, γ = 0.850

Specific gravity is given as;

$specific \ gravity = \frac{density \ of the \ object}{density \ of \ water}\\\\0.85= \frac{density \ of the \ object}{1000 \ kg/m^3} \\\\density \ of the \ object = 850 \ kg/m^3$

Fraction of the object's weight below the surface of water is calculated as;

$= \frac{850}{1000} \ \times\ 100\%\\\\= 85 \% \\\\= \frac{17}{20}$

Therefore, the fraction of the object that is below the surface of the water is ¹⁷/₂₀

Two positive charges ( 8.0 mC and 2.0 mC) are separated by 300 m. A third charge is placed at distance r from the 8.0 mC charge

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

$r=200m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Charges:

$Q_1=8.0mC$

$Q_2=2.0mC$

$Q_3=8.mC$

Distance $d=300m$

Generally the equation for Force is mathematically given by

$F=\frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}$

Therefore

$F_{32}=F_{31}$

$\frac{q_2}{(300-r)^2}=\frac{q_1}{r^2}$

$\frac{2*10^{-3}}{(300-r)^2}=\frac{8*10^{-3}}{r^2}$

$r=2(300-r)$

$r=200m$

A nonconducting sphere of radius 10 cm is charged uniformly with a density of 100 nC/m3. What is the magnitude of the potential

Flura [38]

Answer:

The answer is 3.0 V

Explanation:

the formula of the potential due to a non-conductive sphere with a uniform charge at a point at a distance x from the center of the sphere is equal to:

V1 = (2*π*k*ρ*(3*r^2 - x^2))/3

where

ρ = volume charge density = 100 nC/m^3

x = distance from center = 0

r = radius = 10 cm = 0.1 m

Thus:

V1 = (2*π*k*ρ*3*r^2)/3

for x = 4 cm = 0.04 m, we have:

V4 = (2*π*k*ρ*(3*r^2 - (0.04^2))/3 = (2*π*k*ρ*(3*r^2 - 0.0016))/3

The difference between both equations:

V1 - V4 = (2*π*k*ρ*3*r^2)/3 - (2*π*k*ρ*(3*r^2 - 0.0016))/3

V1 - V4 = (2*π*k*ρ*0.0016)/3 = (2*π*9x10^9*100x10^-9*0.0016)/3 = 3.02 V = 3 V
