Suppose you design an apparatus in which a uniformly charged disk of radius R is to produce an electric field. The field magnitu

de is most important along the central perpendicular axis of the disk, at a point P at distance 2.00R from the disk. Cost analysis suggests that you switch to a ring of the same outer radius R but with inner radius R/2.00 . Assume that the ring will have the same surface charge density as the original disk. If you switch to the ring, by what percentage will you decrease the electric field magnitude at P?

Answer:

The electric field will be decreased by 29%

Explanation:

The distance between point P from the distance z = 2.0 R

Inner radius = R/2

Outer raidus = R

Thus;

The electrical field due to disk is:

\hat {K_a} = \dfrac{\sigma}{2 \varepsilon _o} \Big( 1 - \dfrac{z}{\sqrt{z^2+R_i^2}} \Big))

\implies \dfrac{\sigma}{2 \vaepsilon _o} \Big ( 1 - \dfrac{2.0 \ R}{\sqrt{ (2.0\ R)^2+(R)^2}} \Big)

Similarly;

\hat {K_b} = \hat {k_a} - \dfrac{\sigma}{2 \varepsilon_o} \Big( 1 - \dfrac{2.0 \ R}{\sqrt{(2.0 \ r)^2 + (\dfrac{R}{2}^2)}}\Big)

However; the relative difference is: \dfrac{\hat {k_a} - \hat {k_b}}{\hat {k_a} }= \dfrac{E_a -E_a + \dfrac{\sigma}{2 \varepsilon_o  \Big[1 - \dfrac{2.0 \ R}{\sqrt{(2.0 \ R)^2 + (\dfrac{R}{2})^2}} \Big] } } { \dfrac{\sigma}{2 \varepsilon_o \Big [ 1 - \dfrac{2.0 \ R}{\sqrt{ (2.0 \ R)^2 + (R)^2}} \Big] }}

\dfrac{\hat {k_a} - \hat {k_b}}{\hat {k_a} }= \dfrac{1 - \dfrac{2.0}{\sqrt{(2.0)^2 + \dfrac{1}{4}}} }{1 - \dfrac{2.0 }{\sqrt{(2.0)^2 + 1}}}

= 0.2828 \\ \\ \mathbf{\simeq  29\%}

What is drag? In what situations might it act on the force of gravity?
stepan [7]
Drag is passive, therefore it does not act on gravity. Drag is a mechanical resistance to motion. If the motion in question was induced by gravity drag it can impede that motion, but has no effect on the gravity. 

hope this helps!

As a 3.0 kg bucket is being lowered into a 10 m deepwell, starting from top, the tension in the rope is 9.8 N. theacceleration o
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

A) 6.5 m/s²

Explanation:

Mass of the bucket, m = 3.0 kg

depth of the well, d = 10 m

tension on the rope, T = 9.8 N

The net downward force on the bucket is given as;

T = mg - ma

where;

a is downward acceleration of the bucket

9.8 = (3 x 9.8) - 3a

9.8 = 29.4 - 3a

3a = 29.4 - 9.8

3a = 19.6

a = 19.6 / 3

a = 6.53 m/s² downwards

Therefore, the acceleration of the bucket is 6.53 m/s² downwards

The sound level of one person talking at a certain distance from you is 61 dB. If she is joined by 5 more friends, and all of th
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

Explanation:

For sound level in decibel scale the relation is

dB = 10 log I / I₀ where I₀ = 10⁻¹² and I is intensity of sound whose decibel scale is to be calculated .

Putting the given values

61 = 10 log I / 10⁻¹²

log I / 10⁻¹² = 6.1

I = 10⁻¹² x 10⁶°¹

=10^{-5.9}

intensity of sound of 5 persons

I=5\times 10^{-5.9}

dB=10log\frac{5 X 10^{-5.9}}{10^{-12}}

= 10log 5 x 10⁶°¹

= 10( 6.1 + log 5 )

= 67.98

sound level will be 67.98 dB .

The key to making a concise mathematical definition of escape velocity is to consider the energy. If an object is launched at it
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

The total Mechanical energy will be zero

Explanation: Escape velocity is the velocity required by a free object in order to overcome the impact of the force of gravity. The total mechanical energy of an object is the total energy possessed by an object which includes its kinectic and potential energy.

since the object is moving at an escape velocity which is 11.2m/s the object will be assumed to be weightless

Etotal = kinetic energy + potential energy

kinetic energy= 1/2*M*V*V

Potential energy=MGH

Etotal=1/2*0*11.2*11.2+0*0*0

Etotal=0+0

Etotal=0.
