(II) A thin cylindrical shell of radius R1 is surrounded by a second concentric cylindrical shell of radius R2 (Fig. 22–35). The inner shell has a total charge +Q and the outer shell −Q. Assuming the length ℓ of the shells is much greater than R1 or R2, determine the electric field as a function of R (the perpendicular distance from the common axis of the cylinders) for (a) 0 < R < R1, (b) R1 < R < R2, and (c) R > R2. (d) What is the kinetic energy of an electron if it moves between (and concentric with) the shells in a circular orbit of radius (R1 + R2)/2? Neglect thickness of shells.

A measurement taken from the UW Jacobson Observatory (Latitude: 47.660503°, Longitude: -122.309424°, Altitude: 220.00 feet) when its local sidereal time is 120.00° makes the following observations of a space object (Based on Curtis Problems 5.12 + 5.13): Azimuth: 225.00° Azimuth rate: 2.0000°/s. Elevation: 75.000° Elevation rate: -0.5000°/s Range: 1500.0 km Range rate: -1.0000 km/s a. What are the r & v vectors (the state vector) in geocentric coordinates? (Answer r = [-2503.47 v = [17.298 4885.2 5.920 5577.6] -2.663]) b. Calculate the orbital elements of the satellite. (For your thoughts: what type of object would this be?) (Partial Answer e = 5.5876, 0=-13.74°) Tip: use Curtis algorithms 5.4 and 4.2.arrow_forwardConsider an isotope with an atomic number of (2(5+4)) and a mass number of (4(5+4)+2).

- Two ice skaters, both of mass 68 kgkg, approach on parallel paths 1.6 mm apart. Both are moving at 3.0 m/sm/s with their arms outstretched. They join hands as they pass, still maintaining their 1.6 mm separation, and begin rotating about one another. Treat the skaters as particles with regard to their rotational inertia. a) What is their common angular speed after joining hands? Express your answer in radians per second. b) Calculate the change in kinetic energy for the process described in a). Express your answer with the appropriate units. c) If they now pull on each other’s hands, reducing their radius to half its original value, what is their common angular speed after reducing their radius? Express your answer in radians per second. d) Calculate the change in kinetic energy for the process described in part c). Express your answer with the appropriate units.arrow_forwardPlease solve and explainarrow_forwardNo Chatgpt pleasearrow_forward
