A small island is a = 3 km away from the nearest point P on the straight shoreline of a large lake. A town is b = 12 km down the shore from P as shown in the figure below. If a person on the island can row a boat 2.8 km/h and can walk 5 km/h, where should the boat be landed (xkm from the point P) so that the person arrives in the town in the shortest time? (Use decimal notation. Give your answer to three decimal places.) Recall: The distance formula is: d = r⋅t and can also be written as: t = dr Check the "Student Hint", if you would like further help with the set up of this question. x = km

Potential in a charge distribution 3 points We have a sphere with diameter d = 7 m and charge density profile ρc(r) = Ar2ω where A = 6×10−8. The change in potential energy of a charge q = 5 mC moved from a radius of r = 2.3 m inside the sphere to the very edge of the sphere was found to be −25 J. Find the value of the constant ω. (Next three questions) We have a spherical ball in a vacuum with three layers: the center and outer layers have constant charge density ρ = 0.7 μC/m3 and the middle layer is a perfect conductor. We'll define zero potential, V = 0, at an infinite distance away from the sphere. The radii are a = 0.3 m, b = 0.7 m, and c = 1 m. Figure 3: Figure for Problems 9-11 Potential at purple dashed line 1 point (a) What is the potential at r = 0.4 m away from the center of the sphere (purple dashed line)? (number 10) Potential at yellow dashed line 1 point What is the potential at r = 0.85 m away from the center of the sphere (yellow dashed line)? (number 11) Potential at green dashed line 1 point What is the potential at r = 1.2 m away from the center of the sphere (green dashed line)?

An infinite sheet of charge with surface charge density σ = −87 μC/m2 lives in the x−y plane. A thin rod of charge with length L = 13.0 cm is placed along the +z-axis so that the end closest to the sheet is located a distance d = 2.0 cm away from the sheet. When held at this position, the linear charge density of the rod can be described by λ = az, where a = +35 nC/m2. What is the force F on the rod from the sheet? For the limit check, investigate what happens to the force as the sheet loses all of its charge (σ→0). Hint: the electric field from an infinite sheet is given by E = σ2ϵ0
