Gauss's Law, electric field of sphere

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the electric field of a nonconducting sphere with a uniform volume charge density of 410 nC/m³ and a radius of 10.00 cm. The total charge of the sphere is determined to be 1.717 nC. The participants engage in calculating the electric field at various radii: 2.10 cm, 9.90 cm, 10.10 cm, and 13.6 cm, using the formula E = Qr / (4πR³ε₀). One participant confirms their approach to solving the problem by manipulating the equations appropriately. The conversation emphasizes the application of Gauss's Law in determining electric fields for different radii around the charged sphere.

Q:
A nonconducting sphere of radius 10.00 cm carries a uniform volume charge density ρ = 410 nC/m3.

(a) What is the total charge of the sphere?
1.717 nC

Find the electric field at the following radii.

(b) r = 2.10 cm
_____N/C

(c) r = 9.90 cm
_____kN/C

(d) r = 10.10 cm
_____N/C

(e) r = 13.6 cm
_____N/C


My attempt at the problem, after manipulating the equation EV=charge inside/[8.85x10^(-12)], was just to insert values into E=Qr/[(4*pi*R^3)*8.85x10^(-12)]; where Q is defined as the total charge, r the radius asked to calculate and R the initial radius.

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
