1 answer:
Answer:
a) E_total = 6,525 10⁴ N /C ,field direction is radial outgoing
b) E_total = 1.89 10⁶ N / C, field is incoming radial
c) E_total = 0
Explanetion:
For this exercise we can use that the charge in a spherical shell can be considered concentrated at its center and that the electric field inside the shell is zero, since Gauss's law is
Ф = E .dA = q_{int} /ε₀
inside the spherical shell there are no charges
The electric field is a vector quantity, so we calculate the field created by each shell and add it vectorly.
We have two sphere shells with radii 0.050m and 0.15m respectively
a) point where you want to know the electric field d = 0.20 m
shell 1
the point is on the outside,d>ro, therefore we can consider the charge to be concentrated in the center
E₁ = k q₁ / d²
shell 2
the point is on the outside,d>ro
E₂ = k q₂ / d²
the total camp is
E_total = -E₁ + E₂
E_total = k ( )
E_total = 9 10⁹ (-2.1 10⁻⁶+ 5 10⁻⁶ / .2²
E_total = 6,525 10⁵ N /C
The field direction is radial and outgoing ti the shells
b) the calculation point is d = 0.10m
shell 1
point outside the shell d> ro
E₁ = k q₁ / d²
shell 2
the point is inside the shell d <ro
Therefore, according to Gauss's law, since there are no charges in the interior, the electrioc field is zero
E₂ = 0
E_total = E₁
E_total = k q₁ / d²
E_total = 9 10⁹ 2.1 10⁻⁶ / 0.1²
E_total = 1.89 10⁶ N / A
As the charge is negative, this field is incoming radial, that is, it is directed towards the shell 1
c) the point of interest d = 0.025 m
shell 1
point is inside the shell d< ro
as there are no charges inside
E₁ = 0
shell 2
point is inside the radius of the shell d <ro
E₂ = 0
the total field is
E_total = 0

Hello!
Recall the period of an orbit is how long it takes the satellite to make a complete orbit around the earth. Essentially, this is the same as 'time' in the distance = speed * time equation. For an orbit, we can define these quantities:
← The circumference of the orbit
speed = orbital speed, we will solve for this later
time = period
Therefore:
Where 'r' is the orbital radius of the satellite.
First, let's solve for 'v' assuming a uniform orbit using the equation:
G = Gravitational Constant (6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²)
m = mass of the earth (5.98 × 10²⁴ kg)
r = radius of orbit (1.276 × 10⁷ m)
Plug in the givens:
Now, we can solve for the period:
A)
The total energy of the system is equal to the maximum elastic potential energy, that is achieved when the displacement is equal to the amplitude (x=A):
(1)
where k is the spring constant.
The total energy, which is conserved, at any other point of the motion is the sum of elastic potential energy and kinetic energy:
(2)
where x is the displacement, m the mass, and v the speed.
We want to know the displacement x at which the elastic potential energy is 1/3 of the kinetic energy:
Using (2) we can rewrite this as
And using (1), we find
Substituting into the last equation, we find the value of x:
B)
In this case, the kinetic energy is 1/10 of the total energy:
Since we have
we can write
And so we find:
