A spherically-symmetric planet is made of an empty inner core of
radius a surrounded by a thick shell of radius 2a, which is
surrounded by another thick shell of radius 3a. The inner shell has
a volume density that only depends on radius and is given by s1(r)
= br^3, where b is a known positive constant. The outer shell also
has a volume density that only depends on radius and is given by
s2(r) = y/(r^2), where y is a known positive constant.

A point charge with charge q1 = 3.50 μC is held stationary at the origin. A second point charge with charge q2 = -4.80 μC moves from the point ( 0.170 m , 0) to the point ( 0.255 m , 0.260 m ). How much work W is done by the electric force on the moving point charge?
Express your answer in joules. Use k = 8.99×109 N⋅m^2/C^2 for Coulomb's constant: k=1/4πϵ0.

An atom of beryllium (m = 8.00 u) splits into two atoms of helium (m = 4.00 u) with the release of 92.2 keV of energy. Suppose the beryllium atom moved in the positive x direction and had a kinetic energy of 44.0 keV. One of the helium atoms is found to be moving in the positive x direction. Find the direction of motion of the second helium, and find the velocity of each of the two helium atoms. Solve this problem in two different ways: by direct application of conservation of momentum and energy; and by applying the results if the original beryllium atom is at rest to a frame of reference moving with the original beryllium atom and then switching to the reference frame in which the beryllium is moving.
(a) by direct application of conservation of momentum and energy
velocity of the second helium (magnitude) | m/s |
(b) by applying the results if the original beryllium atom is at
rest to a frame of reference moving with the original beryllium
atom and then switching to the reference frame in which the
beryllium is moving
velocity of the second helium (magnitude) | m/s |

emergency physics question!
what is the minimum film of coating with index of refraction of 1.52 on a glass with index of refraction of 1.40 for which destructive interference of a red component of white light in air can take place by reflection? assume the wavelength of the red component in vacuum is 650nm. find the minimum visible wavelength in vacuum for constructive interference due reflection for the thickness of the coating film you found.
what should be the minimum additional coating to get constructive interference for the red component of 650nm?
not just an answer, I need help understand the answer and the question!

Two stationary positive point charges, charge 1 of magnitude 3.85 nC and charge 2 of magnitude 2.00 nC , are separated by a distance of 43.0 cm . An electron is released from rest at the point midway between the two charges, and it moves along the line connecting the two charges.
What is the speed Vfinal of the electron when it is 10.0 cm from charge 1?
Express your answer in meters per second.

Two point charges are arranged so there is a small distance between them. One charge is positive and the other is negative. If the two charges have different magnitudes, there is a spot (not at infinity) where the total electric field is zero.

A piston contains 600 moles of an ideal monatomic gas that initally has a pressure of 2.44 × 105 Pa and a volume of 1.8 m3. The piston is connected to a hot and cold reservoir and the gas goes through the following quasi-static cycle accepting energy from the hot reservoir and exhausting energy into the cold reservoir. The pressure of the gas is increased to 5.44 × 105 Pa while maintaining a constant volume. The volume of the gas is increased to 8.8 m3 while maintaining a constant pressure. The pressure of the gas is decreased to 2.44 × 105 Pa while maintaining a constant volume. The volume of the gas is decreased to 1.8 m3 while maintaining a constant pressure. It may help you to recall that CV C V = 12.47 J/K/mole and CP C P = 20.79 J/K/mole for a monatomic ideal gas, and that the number of gas molecules is equal to Avagadros number (6.022 × 1023) times the number of moles of the gas. 1) How much energy is transferred into the gas from the hot reservoir? J 2) How much energy is transferred out of the gas into the cold reservoir? J 3) How much work is done by the gas? J 4) What is the efficiency of this cycle?
