A small sphere with mass 1.5g hangs by a thread between two parallel vertical plates 5cm apart. The plates are insulating and ha

ve uniform surface charges densities Q and -Q. The charge on the sphere is q=8.9*10-16C. What potential difference between the plates will cause the thread to assume an angle of 30o with the vertical?

The tralational equilibrium condition allows finding that the electric potential is   V = 4.8 10¹¹ V

Given parameter

  • The mass m = 1.5 g = 1.15 10-3 kg
  • The charge on the sphere q = 8.9 10-16 C
  • Plate spacing d = 5 cm = 5.00 10-2 m

To find

  • The potential difference

Newton's second law states that the force is proportional to the mass and the acceleration of the bodies, in the special case that the acceleration is zero, it establishes the condition for the equilibrium of the bodies

          ∑ F = 0

Where the bold indicate vector and F is the force

To use this equation we must fix a reference system with respect to which to carry out the decomposition and measurements of the forces; let's fix a system with the horizontal x axis and the vertical y axis, in the attachment I could see a free body diagram.

x- axis

     Fe - Tₓ = 0

     Fe = Tₓ

y-axis

     T_y - W = 0

     W = T_y

     mg = T_y

The electric force is

      Fe = q E = q V / d

let's use trigonometry to decompose the stress

     cos 30 =  T_y / T

     sin 30 = Tₓ / T

      T_y = T cos 30

      Tₓ = T sin 30

We substitute

        q V / d = T sin 30

        mg = T cos 30

It's solve the system of equations

         \frac{q \ V}{d \ m g} = tan 30

         V = \frac{d \ mg }{ q}\ tan \  30

It's calculate

         V = \frac{5.00 \ 10^{-2} 1.5 \ 10^{-3} \ 9.8}{ 8.9 10^{-16} } \ tan \ 30

         V = 4.768 10¹¹ V

In conclusion, using the equilibrium condition, we could find that the electric potential is V = 4.8 10¹¹ V

In an inelastic collision involving an isolated system, the final total momentum is
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer: B) exactly the same as the initial momentum.

Explanation:

An inelastic collision occurs when the elements that collide remain together after the collision, and althogh the kinetic energy is not conserved because is transformed into other kinds of energy (thermal energy, for example), the linear momentum does.  

This means the initial momentum before the collision will be equal to the final momentum after the collision:

p_{o}=p_{f}

Use dimensional analysis to determine how the linear acceleration a in m/s2 of a particle traveling in a circle depends on some,
astraxan [27]

I have to say, i love this kind of problems.

So, we got the linear acceleration, as we all know, linear the acceleration its, in dimensional units:

[a]=[\frac{distance}{time^2}].

Now, we got the radius

[r] = [distance]

the angular frequency

[\omega] = \frac{1}{s}

and the mass

[m]=[mass].

Now, the acceleration doesn't have units of mass, so it can't depend on the mass of the particle.

The distance in the acceleration has exponent 1, and so does in the radius. As the radius its the only parameter that has units of distance, this means that the radius must appear with exponent 1. Lets write

a \propto r.

The time in the acceleration has exponent -2 As the angular frequency its the only parameter that has units of time, this means that the angular frequency must appear, but, the angular frequency has an exponent of -1, this means it must be squared

a \propto r \omega^2.

We are almost there. If this were any other problem, we would write:

a = A r \omega^2

where A its an dimensionless constant. Its common for this constants to appears if we need an conversion factor. If we wanted the acceleration in cm/s^2, for example. Luckily for us, the problem states that there is no dimensionless constant involved, so:

a = r \omega^2

100 POINTS + BRAINLIEST, HEART, &amp; FIVE STAR.
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

Question 1 the answer is 5 cm for the one pulley system, I just took the quiz

Question 2 is 10 cm

Explanation:

The rope only needs to move 5 cm for the mass to move from 15 to 20.

For the 2 pulley system the string has to move twice as far making it 10 cm. I took the quiz and got 100%

A 28 kg rock falls freely near the surface of the Earth. Approximately how much gravitational force is exerted by the Earth on t
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer :Force is exerted by the Earth on the rock is 280 N .

Given :

Mass of rock falling falling , m = 28 kg .

Acceleration due to gravity , g=10\ m/s^2 .

We need to find the force exerted by the earth on the rock .

Let force exerted be F .

Now , we know by Newton's Law Of Motion .

F = ma     .......( 1 )

Here , m is  mass and a is acceleration in this case it is g=10\ m/s^2 .

Putting all these value in equation( 1 ) we get ,

F=28\times 10\\\\F=280\ N

Therefore, this is the required solution .
