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

There are 2 concentric cylinders. These cylinders are very long with length L. The inner cylinder has a radius R1 and is a solid
OLga [1]
To get the charge along the inner cylinder, we use Gauss Law
E = d R1/2εo
For the outer cylinder the charge can be calculated using
E = d R2^2/2εoR1
where d is the charge density
Use these two equations to get the charge in between the cylinders and the capacitance between them.

Calculate the frequency of visible light having a wavelength of 410 nm
maria [59]
Given: Wavelength λ = 410 nm  convert to Meters m = 4.10 x 10⁻⁷ m

Speed of light c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Required: Frequency  f = ?

Formula: c = λf 

               f = c/λ

               f = 3 x 10⁸ m/s/4.10 x 10⁻⁷ m

               f = 7.32 x 10¹⁴/s  or 732 Thz (Terahertz)

A ball is thrown vertically upwards with a velocity
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

Explanation:

The acceleration of gravity is 9.8m/s^2.

So to calculate the time it will take to make the ball stop(which btw means the ball now reach its greatest height), use the formula V1=V0+at. V1 is the final velocity(which is 0), V0 is the starting velocity(which is 30m/s), and the a(cceleration) is 9.8m/s^2.

(You can ignore the fact "at" is -30 instead 30, it's because the directions two velocity travel are opposite. )

We can now know the time it takes to make the ball stop just by the gravitational force is about 3 sec.

Use another formula S=1/2at^2, to find out the S(height) is 1/2*9.8*3^2=44.1, which is approximately D.45m .

Which Equation will you use to solve this question (use the chart at the end of the lesson) While skiing, Sam flies down a hill
ozzi

A.Momentum Equation

m = mass = 75 kg

v = velocity = 18 m/s

P = momentum

Using the momentum equation , momentum is given as

P = mv

P = 75 x 18

P = 1350 kgm/s
