A single point charge +Q is at the center of a thin spherical
sheet that carries a net charge of – 3Q and has a radius of a. Your
goal is to calculate the electric field at a distance r away from
the center of the spherical sheet.
(A) Draw the situation below. Represent a in your diagram. You
should NOT have r in your diagram.
(B) Use Gauss’s law to calculate the electric field when r < a
(i.e., inside the spherical sheet). a. What surface should you use
in order to do this? Draw this surface on your diagram above. b.
Use Gauss’s law to calculate the electric field inside the
spherical shell.
(C) Use Gauss’s law to calculate the electric field when r > a
(i.e., outside the spherical shell) a. What surface should you use
in order to do this. Draw this surface on the diagram above. b. Use
Gauss’s law to calculate the electric field outside the spherical
shell.
(D) On the coordinate axes below, plot the electric field magnitude
as a function of r. Hint: The electric field is a piece-wise
defined function with different expressions in different
regions

A 3.3 kg object is pulled by 4 ropes. One rope is used to pull the object 15° North of East with a force of 25 N. A second rope pulls it due south with a force of 15 N. A third pulls the object 22° west of north with a 36 N magnitude. If the object is moving due west with a constant acceleration (a=1.0 m/s^2 ), describe the force (magnitude and direction) applied by the 4th rope.

A group of particles is traveling in a magnetic field of unknown magnitude and direction. You observe that a proton moving at 1.70 km/skm/s in the +x+x-direction experiences a force of 2.06×10−16 NN in the +y+y-direction, and an electron moving at 4.70 km/skm/s in the −z−z-direction experiences a force of 8.10×10−16 NN in the +y+y-direction.
What is the magnitude of the magnetic field?
What is the direction of the magnetic field? (in the xzxz-plane)

You have a rocket with a mass of 2.5kg, that provides a total forward force of F=49N. a.) At what angle must you launch it so that it flies perfectly horizontally. b.) Now you set it up to launch vertically. From rest it takes off but it only has enough fuel to burn for 10 seconds. How high does it get? c.) If it launched at 45 degrees, the fuel burnt for 10 seconds, then it fell to the ground, how far away from its original position would it land?

A 0.294-m-thick sheet of ice covers a lake. The air temperature at the ice surface is -17.7 °C. In 3.00 minutes, the ice thickens by a small amount. Assume that no heat flows from the ground below into the water and that the added ice is very thin compared to 0.294 m. Calculate the number of millimeters by which the ice thickens. Do not enter unit.
