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\%}

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer: D. 0.57

Explanation:

The formula to calculate the eccentricity e of an ellipse is (assuming the moon's orbit in the shape of an ellipse):

e=\frac{r_{a}-r_{p}}{r_{a}+r_{p}}

Where:

r_{a} is the apoapsis (the longest distance between the moon and its planet)

r_{p}=0.27 r_{a} is the periapsis (the shortest distance between the moon and its planet)

Then:

e=\frac{r_{a}-0.27 r_{a}}{r_{a}+0.27 r_{a}}

e=\frac{0.73 r_{a}}{1.27 r_{a}}

e=0.57 This is the moon's orbital eccentricity

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

The answer is "2.41 \times 10^3"

Explanation:

Given:  

m_i = 2000 \ kg \\\\v_i= 4.1 \ \frac{m}{s} \\\\v_f = 3.4 \ \frac{m}{s} \\

Using formula:  

\to m_iv_i = m_fv_f \\\\\to m_f= \frac{m_iv_i}{v_f}

p_i, p_f = system initial and final linear momentum.

V_i, v_f = system original and final linear pace.

m_i = original weight of the car freight.

m_f= car's maximum weight

= \frac{ 2000 \times 4.1}{3.4}\\\\= \frac{ 8.2\times 10^3}{3.4}\\\\= 2.41 \times 10^3

\boxed{m_f = 2.41 \times 10^3}

azamat
We assume a=const (acceleration is constant. We apply the equation
v^2=v0^2+2as where s is the distance to stop v=0(m/s). We find the acceleration from this equation
a=-v0^2/(2s)=-70^2/(2*3) =-816.7 (m/s^2)

We know the acceleration, thus we find the distance necesssary to stop when initial speed is v=140 (m/s)
s=-v0^2/(2a) =140^2/(2*816.7)=12 (m)
