Complete question:

A 50 m length of coaxial cable has a charged inner conductor (with charge +8.5 µC and radius 1.304 mm) and a surrounding oppositely charged conductor (with charge −8.5 µC and radius 9.249 mm).

Required:

What is the magnitude of the electric field halfway between the two cylindrical conductors? The Coulomb constant is 8.98755 × 10^9 N.m^2 . Assume the region between the conductors is air, and neglect end effects. Answer in units of V/m.

Answer:

The magnitude of the electric field halfway between the two cylindrical conductors is 5.793 x 10⁵ V/m

Explanation:

Given;

charge of the coaxial capable, Q = 8.5 µC = 8.5  x 10⁻⁶ C

length of the conductor, L = 50 m

inner radius, r₁ = 1.304 mm

outer radius, r₂ = 9.249 mm

The magnitude of the electric field halfway between the two cylindrical conductors is given by;

E = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_o r} = \frac{Q}{2\pi \epsilon_o r L}

Where;

λ is linear charge density or charge per unit length

r is the distance halfway between the two cylindrical conductors

r = r_1 + \frac{1}{2}(r_2-r_1) \\\\r = 1.304 \ mm \ + \  \frac{1}{2}(9.249 \ mm-1.304 \ mm)\\\\r = 1.304 \ mm \ + \ 3.9725 \ mm\\\\r = 5.2765 \ mm

The magnitude of the electric field is now given as;

E = \frac{8.5*10^{-6}}{2\pi(8.85*10^{-12})(5.2765*10^{-3})(50)} \\\\E = 5.793*10^5 \ V/m

Therefore, the magnitude of the electric field halfway between the two cylindrical conductors is 5.793 x 10⁵ V/m

You are standing on a large sheet of frictionless ice and holding a large rock. In order to get off the ice, you throw the rock
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

0.4778 m/s

Explanation:

To solve this question, we will make use of law of conservation of momentum.

We are given that the rock's velocity is 12 m/s at 35°. Thus, the horizontal component of this velocity is;

V_x = (12 m/s)(cos(35°)) = 9.83 m/s.

Thus, the horizontal component of the rock's momentum is;

(3.5 kg)(9.83 m/s) = 34.405 kg·m/s.

Since the person is not pushed up off the ice or down into it, his momentum will have no vertical component and so his momentum will have the same magnitude as the horizontal component of the rock's momentum.

Thus, to get the person's speed, we know that; momentum = mass x velocity

Mass of person = 72 kg and we have momentum as 34.405 kg·m/s

Thus;

34.405 = 72 x velocity

Velocity = 34.405/72

Velocity = 0.4778 m/s

Define anterior and posterior in correlation to the body. (ANATOMY)
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

it should be right it's from go.ogle hm!!!

Explanation:

Anterior or ventral - front (example, the kneecap is located on the anterior side of the leg). Posterior or dorsal - back (example, the shoulder blades are located on the posterior side of the body). Medial - toward the midline of the body (example, the middle toe is located at the medial side of the foot).
