Hi there! Lets see!

m is mass, and its units are kg
k is the elastic constant measured in newtons per meter (N/m), or kilograms per second squared kg/s²

Therefore:

$\sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}} =\sqrt{\dfrac{[kg]}{[\dfrac{kg}{s^2}]}} =\sqrt{\dfrac{[kg]}{[kg]}\cdot s^2} = \sqrt{[s]^2} = s$

The period is given in seconds so the formula is dimensionally correct.

A thin spherical spherical shell of radius R which carried a uniform surface charge density σ. Write an expression for the volum

ozzi

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

We know that the thin spherical shell is on a uniform surface which implies that both the inside and outside the charge of the sphere are equal, Then

The volume charge distribution relates to the radial direction at r = R

∴

$\rho (r) \ \alpha \ \delta (r -R)$

$\rho (r) = k \ \delta (r -R) \ \ at \ \ (r = R)$

$\rho (r) = 0\ \ since \ r< R \ \ or \ \ r>R---- (1)$

To find the constant k, we examine the total charge Q which is:

$Q = \int \rho (r) \ dV = \int \sigma \times dA$

$Q = \int \rho (r) \ dV = \sigma \times4 \pi R^2$

∴

$\int ^{2 \pi}_{0} \int ^{\pi}_{0} \int ^{R}_{0} \rho (r) r^2sin \theta \ dr \ d\theta \ d\phi = \sigma \times 4 \pi R^2$

$\int^{2 \pi}_{0} d \phi* \int ^{\pi}_{0} \ sin \theta d \theta * \int ^{R}_{0} k \delta (r -R) * r^2dr = \sigma \times 4 \pi R^2$

$(2 \pi)(2) * \int ^{R}_{0} k \delta (r -R) * r^2dr = \sigma \times 4 \pi R^2$

Thus;

$k * 4 \pi \int ^{R}_{0} \delta (r -R) * r^2dr = \sigma \times R^2$

$k * \int ^{R}_{0} \delta (r -R) r^2dr = \sigma \times R^2$

$k * R^2= \sigma \times R^2$

$k = R^2 --- (2)$

Hence, from equation (1), if k = $\sigma$

$\mathbf{\rho (r) = \delta* \delta (r -R) \ \ at \ \ (r=R)}$

$\mathbf{\rho (r) =0 \ \ at \ \ rR}$

To verify the units:

$\mathbf{\rho (r) =\sigma \ * \ \delta (r-R)}$

↓ ↓ ↓

c/m³ c/m³ × 1/m

Thus, the units are verified.

The integrated charge Q

$Q = \int \rho (r) \ dV \\ \\ Q = \int ^{2 \ \pi}_{0} \int ^{\pi}_{0} \int ^R_0 \rho (r) \ \ r^2 \ \ sin \theta \ dr \ d\theta \ d \phi \\ \\ Q = \int ^{2 \pi}_{0} \ d \phi \int ^{\pi}_{0} \ sin \theta \int ^R_{0} \rho (r) r^2 \ dr$

$Q = (2 \pi) (2) \int ^R_0 \sigma * \delta (r-R) r^2 \ dr$

$Q = 4 \pi \sigma \int ^R_0 * \delta (r-R) r^2 \ dr$

$Q = 4 \pi \sigma *R^2$ since $( \int ^{xo}_{0} (x -x_o) f(x) \ dx = f(x_o) )$

$\mathbf{Q = 4 \pi R^2 \sigma }$

What is inertia? That is all but I need 20 characters to ask lol

damaskus [11]

Inertia, property of a body by virtue of which it opposes any agency that attempts to put it in motion or, if it is moving, to change the magnitude or direction of its velocity. Inertia is a passive property and does not enable a body to do anything except oppose such active agents as forces and torques.

In order for Greg to safely drain the water out of the noodles, he should use potholders or any thing that is does not conduct heat or transfer heat. Some pots are also equipped with handles that are made of plastics for safely transferring of its content to another container.
