A thin, circular disk of radius R = 30 cm is oriented in the yz-plane with its center as the origin. The disk carries a total charge Q = +3 ?C distributed uniformly over its surface
Calculate the magnitude of the electric field due to the disk at the point x = 15 cm along the x-axis. A) 9.95 × 105 N/C B) 4.98 × 105 N/C C) 3.32 × 105 N/C D) 2.49 × 105 N/C E) 1.99 × 105 N/C
Ideal Gas Law: As shown in the figure, an air pocket at the top of a vertical tube, closed at the upper end and open at the lower, occupies a volume of 560 cm3 at the surface of a lake where the air pressure is 1.0 × 105 Pa and the temperature is 37°C. What is the volume of the air in the pocket if the tube is taken to a depth of 56 meters, where the temperature is 7°C? Assume that none of the air escapes from the tube. The density of the water in the lake is 1000 kg/m3.
