A Thin Spherical Shell

2. A thin spherical shell of radius x₁ cm has x₂ µC of charge uniformly distributed over its surface. What is the electric flux through an area of x₃ m² of a spherical surface concentric with the shell of charge but having a radius of x₄ m?

x₁, x₂, x₃, and x₄ are some numbers.
Answer: 8.99∙10⁴∙ x₂ ∙ x₃ / x₄² N∙m²/C

What is Magnitude of Angle between Vectors?

The vector A = (Ax , Ay) = ( +2.0 m, +2.0 m) and the vector B = (Bx , By) = ( +1.0 m, -1.0 m).
What is the magnitude of the angle between the vectors A and B

Intermediate calculations (by Google Search):
arccos(((2.05 * 1.05) - (1.95 * 0.95)) / (sqrt(2.05 * 1.95) * sqrt(0.95 * 1.05))) = 81.3594657 degrees
arccos(((1.95 * 0.95) - (2.05 * 1.05)) / (sqrt(2.05 * 1.95) * sqrt(0.95 * 1.05))) = 98.6405343 degrees


Solution: 90 ± 9 degrees
