Answer:

62.8 μC

Explanation:

Here is the complete question

The volume electric charge density of a solid sphere is given by the following equation: ρ = (0.2 mC/m⁵)r²The variable r denotes the distance from the center of the sphere, in spherical coordinates. What is the net electric charge (in μC) of the sphere if the radius of the sphere is 0.5 m?

Solution

The total charge on the sphere Q = ∫∫∫ρdV where ρ = volume charge density = 0.2r² and dV = volume element in spherical coordinates = r²sinθdθdrdΦ

So,  Q =  ∫∫∫ρdV

Q =  ∫∫∫ρr²sinθdθdrdΦ

Q =  ∫∫∫(0.2r²)r²sinθdθdrdΦ

Q =  ∫∫∫0.2r⁴sinθdθdrdΦ

We integrate from r = 0 to r = 0.5 m, θ = 0 to π and Φ = 0 to 2π

So, Q =  ∫∫∫0.2r⁴sinθdθdrdΦ

Q =  ∫∫∫0.2r⁴[∫sinθdθ]drdΦ

Q =  ∫∫0.2r⁴[-cosθ]drdΦ

Q =  ∫∫0.2r⁴-[cosπ - cos0]drdΦ

Q =  ∫∫∫0.2r⁴-[-1 - 1]drdΦ

Q =  ∫∫0.2r⁴-[- 2]drdΦ

Q =  ∫∫0.2r⁴(2)drdΦ

Q =  ∫∫0.4r⁴drdΦ

Q =  ∫0.4r⁴dr∫dΦ

Q =  ∫0.4r⁴dr[Φ]

Q =  ∫0.4r⁴dr[2π - 0]

Q =  ∫0.4r⁴dr[2π]

Q =  ∫0.8πr⁴dr

Q =  0.8π∫r⁴dr

Q =  0.8π[r⁵/5]

Q = 0.8π[(0.5 m)⁵/5 - (0 m)⁵/5]

Q = 0.8π[0.125 m⁵/5 - 0 m⁵/5]

Q = 0.8π[0.025 m⁵ - 0 m⁵]

Q = 0.8π[0.025 m⁵]

Q = (0.02π mC/m⁵) m⁵

Q = 0.0628 mC

Q = 0.0628 × 10⁻³ C

Q = 62.8 × 10⁻³ × 10⁻³ C

Q = 62.8 × 10⁻⁶ C

Q = 62.8 μC

Which describes the relationship between photon energy and the color of light?
Andrew [12]
Photon energy is directly proportional to the frequency of electromagnetic radiation.
(That would also mean that it's inversely proportional to the wavelength.)

So the photon energy increases as you scan the chart of visible colors
moving from the red end of the rainbow to the blue end.

A block is being pulled upward along an inclined surface at a constant speed. Which of the following statements is correct? Grou
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:The net force on the block is zero.

Explanation:

Given

Block is being pulled upward along an inclined surface at a constant speed

As speed is constant and moved in a straight line along the plane therefore its velocity is also constant .

and change in velocity is equal to acceleration therefore acceleration is zero here i.e. net force is zero acting on the body.
