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\%}

How much energy is needed to raise a 50kg block up from the ground to a height of 5 meters?​
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

The answer to your question is    Pe = 2452.5 J

Explanation:

Data

mass = 50 kg

height = 5 m

gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Process

The energy of this process is Potential energy which is proportional to the mass of the body, the gravity and the height of the body.

           Pe = mgh

Substitution

           Pe = (50)(5)(9.81)

Simplification

           Pe = 2452.5 J

As a solid element melts, the atoms become __________ and they have __________ attraction for one another. more separated, more
galina1969 [7]
The complete statement is 

As a solid element melts, the atoms become more separated and they have less attraction for one another. 

Let me explain to you how this happens. In solid phase. Its molecules are arranged in a very compact manner that is why it takes a definite shape and volume. When it is heated, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases. This is characterized by more frequent collisions. The rise in temperature causes the molecules to move rapidly by vibrating. When it reaches an amount of energy that causes the solid to change phase, this is called the latent energy. The molecules break their form and move farther away from each other until it resembles that of a liquid melting. At this point, the molecules would have lesser attraction because of the distance between them.

The block slides on a horizontal frictionless surface. The block has a mass of 1.0kg and is pushed 5.0N at 45°. What is the magn
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

3.5\:\mathrm{m/s^2}

Explanation:

Newton's 2nd law is given as \Sigma F = ma.

To find the acceleration in the horizontal direction, you need the horizontal component of the force being applied.

Using trigonometry to find the horizontal component of the force:

\cos 45^{\circ}=\frac{x}{5},\\\frac{\sqrt{2}}{{2}}=\frac{x}{5},\\x=\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}

Use this horizontal component of the force to solve for for the acceleration of the object:

\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}=1.0\cdot a,\\a=\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}\approx \boxed{3.5\:\mathrm{m/s^2}}

What is a stable and unstable equilibrium
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

here

Explanation:

Equilibrium is a state of a system which does not change. ... An equilibrium is considered stable (for simplicity we will consider asymptotic stability only) if the system always returns to it after small disturbances. If the system moves away from the equilibrium after small disturbances, then the equilibrium is unstable.
