Answer:

The electric field at a distance r = 0.02 m is 14062.5 N/C.

Solution:

Refer to fig 1.

As per the question:

Radius of sphere, R = 0.04 m

Charge, Q = 5.0\times 10^{- 9} C

Distance from the center at which electric field is to be calculated, r = 0.02 m

Now,

According to Gauss' law:

E.dx = \frac{Q_{enclosed}}{\epsilon_{o}}

Now, the charge enclosed at a distance r is given by volume charge density:

\rho = \frac{Q_{enclosed}}{area}

\rho = \frac{Q_{enclosed}}{\frac{4}{3}\pi R^{3}}

Also, the charge enclosed Q' at a distance r is given by volume charge density:

\rho = \frac{Q'_{enclosed}}{\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}}

Since, the sphere is no-conducting, Volume charge density will be constant:

Thus

\frac{Q_{enclosed}}{\frac{4}{3}\pi R^{3}} = \frac{Q'_{enclosed}}{\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}}

Thus charge enclosed at r:

Q'_{enclosed} = \frac{Q_{enclosed}}{\frac{r^{3}}{R^{3}}

Now, By using Gauss' Law, Electric field at r is given by:

4\pi r^{2}E = \frac{Q_{enclosed}r^{3}}{\epsilon_{o}R^{3}}

Thus

E = \frac{Q_{enclosed}r}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}R^{3}}

E = \frac{(9\times 10^{9})\times 5.0\times 10^{- 9}\times 0.02}{0.04^{3}}

E = 14062.5 N/C

Liula [17]

Answer:

Yes it will move and a= 4.19m/s^2

Explanation:

In order for the box to move it needs to overcome the maximum static friction force

Max Static Friction = μFn(normal force)

plug in givens

Max Static friction = 31.9226

Since 36.6>31.9226, the box will move

Mass= Wieght/g which is 45.8/9.8= 4.67kg

Fnet = Fapp-Fk

= 36.6-16.9918

=19.6082

=ma

Solve for a=4.19m/s^2

If a reaction occurs when a piece of metal is placed in a solution, what can you conclude about the solution?
Tju [1.3M]
You can conclude that the solution is probably acidic because bases rarely react with metals.

A butcher has a beam balance and masses 0.5kg and 2kg.How would he measure 1.5kg of meat on the balance at once
LekaFEV [45]

Answer and Explanation:

  • The butcher will balance the meat and the 0.5 kg mass on one side of the beam balance and 2 kg mass on the other side of the beam balance.
  • By so doing, when the beam balances then the amount of meat measured will be exactly 1.5 kg as required. Since the 1.5 kg meat and 0.5 kg mass is equivalent to the 2 kg on the other side of the beam balance.
