Question: A solid plastic sphere of radius R has charge -Q distributed uniformly over its surface. It is far from all other objects.

(a). Sketch the molecular polarization in the interior of the sphere and explain briefly.

(b). Calculate the potential relative to infinity at the center of the sphere.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a). The required sketch is:



(b). The required potential is Vc=-kQR.

Step by step solution

01

Electric field

The electric field is that field that is the area around the charged object where the effect of the electric force can be experienced and the magnitude of which decreases with an increase in the distance of the charged object.

02

Part (a)

It is given that there is a solid sphere around which the negative charge Q is spread over its surface.

Then the diagram for the charged distribution would be:

03

Part (b)

It is known that the potential relative to the infinity at the center of the sphere is directly proportional to the charge and inversely proportional to resistance.

Then the expression will be,

Vc=-kQR

Where the negative sign implies that the charge spread over the surface is negative.

At a certain instant a particle is moving in the +xdirection with momentum+8kg路m/s. During the next 0.13sa constant force acts on the particle, with Fx=-7N and xFy=+5N. What is the magnitude of the momentum of the particle at the end of this v interval?

In a lab experiment you observe that a pendulum swings with a "period" (time for one round trip) of 2s. In an iterative calculation of the motion, which of the following would NOT be a reasonable choice for 螖t, for either hand or computer iterative calculations? a) 1s b) 0.1sc) 0.05s d)0.01\mathrm{~s}.

Consider the three experiments described in Problem 30. Figure 2.58 displays four graphs of Fnet, x, the x component of the net force acting on the cart, vs. time. The graphs start when the cart is at rest, and end when the cart is again at rest. Match the experiment with the graph

A 0.7 kgblock of ice is sliding by you on a very slippery floor at 2.5m.s-1]As it goes by, you give it a kick perpendicular to its path. Your foot is in contact with the ice block for 0.003鈥�s. The block eventually slides at an angle of 22鈥�degreesfrom its original direction. The overhead view shown in Figure 2.54is approximately to scale. The arrow represents the average force your toe applies briefly to the block of ice. (a) Which of the possible paths shown in the diagram corresponds to the correct overhead view of the block鈥檚 path? (b) Which components of the block鈥檚 momentum are changed by the impulse applied by your foot? (Check all that apply. The diagram shows a top view, looking down on the xzplane.) (c) What is the unit vectorin the direction of the block鈥檚 momentum after the kick? (d) What is the x component of the block鈥檚 momentum after the kick? (e) Remember that p鈫�=|p鈫�|p^. What is the magnitude of the block鈥檚 momentum after the kick? (f) Use your answers to the preceding questions to find the zcomponent of the block鈥檚 momentum after the kick (drawing a diagram is helpful). (g) What was the magnitude of the average force you applied to the block?
