3)When a power source like a battery is connected to a circuit, an electric field pushes electrons within the conducting wires causing them to flow. The electric field exists due to an uneven build up of charge on the surfaces of the wires (called a surface charge gradient). In this set of problems we will explore a simple model of how this all comes about and emphasize the connection between source charges, electric fields, and voltage differences in the context of electric circuits.

A very small segment of the conducting wire in a circuit can be modeled as a circular ring of radius 1 mm. Consider two such rings surrounding the z-axis separated by a small distance 2 mm. Let's first suppose that both rings have the same charge density. What is the strength of the electric field on the z-axis at the midpoint between the two rings?

4)If you used a voltmeter to measure the voltage difference between the centers of the two rings, what measurement would you read?

A wheel with a weight of 395 N comes off a moving truck and rolls without slipping along a highway. At the bottom of a hill it is rotating at an angular velocity of 22.2 rad/s . The radius of the wheel is 0.647 m and its moment of inertia about its rotation axis is 0.800 MR2. Friction does work on the wheel as it rolls up the hill to a stop, at a height of h above the bottom of the hill; this work has a magnitude of 3524 J . Calculate h. Use 9.81 m/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity.

Consider a spacecraft in an elliptical orbit around the earth. At the low point, or perigee, of its orbit, it is 300km above the earth's surface; at the high point, or apogee, it is 2500km above the earth's surface.

A) What is the period of the spacecraft's orbit?

B) Using conservation of angular momentum, find the ratio of the spacecraft's speed at perigee to its speed at apogee.

C) Using conservation of energy, find the speed at perigee and the speed at apogee.

Enter your answers numerically separated by a comma.

D) It is necessary to have the spacecraft escape from the earth completely. If the spacecraft's rockets are fired at perigee, by how much would the speed have to be increased to achieve this?

E) What if the rockets were fired at apogee?

When the first nuclear bomb was detonated, some scientists believed that a huge
nuclear chain reaction would occur, blowing the earth to pieces. Calculate the energy
that would be required to disassemble the earth completely into pieces totally
separate from each other.

So this is my assignment. My question is, what makes an object a good insulator? Does having a high specific heat alone make a good insulator? Water has a very high specific heat, would it make a good insulator for the material?

Please list off a bunch of common household items with why they are good insulators!

Objective: Construct an insulated device that is designed to retain heat. Heated water will be put into a beaker and the beaker will be put into the device and allowed to cool for 45 minutes.

Construction:

The device must fit within a 15.0 cm × 15.0 cm × 15.0 cm cube.

Devices may be constructed of and contain any materials except for the following prohibited materials: any type of foam, bubble wrap, commercial insulation, metal other than aluminum foil.

Within the device, you must be able to insert and remove a 250 mL standard, unaltered, empty Pyrex beaker.

The device must also easily accommodate the insertion of a thermometer probe all the way through to the bottom of the beaker via a hole at least 1.5 cm in diameter.

Devices may not contain any energy sources (e.g., no electrical components, small battery powered heaters, chemical reactions, etc.) to help keep the water warm.

All parts of the device must not be significantly different from room temperature.

Highest temperature after 45 minutes wins!
