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

The condition of a country’s depends on its people’s ability to exchange money for goods and services.
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer;

-Economy

The condition of a country’s economy depends on its people’s ability to exchange money for goods and services.

Explanation;

Economy is the state of a country or region in terms of the production and consumption of goods and services and the supply of money.

An economy encompasses all activity related to production, consumption and trade of goods and services in an area. An economy applies to everyone from individuals to entities such as corporations and governments.

There are four different types of economies; traditional economy, market economy, command economy and mixed economy. Each type of economy has it’s own strengths and weaknesses.

The maximum speed limit on interstate 10 is 75 miles per hour. how many meters per second is this
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

<h2>33.53m/s</h2>

Explanation:

Given the maximum speed limit on interstate 10 as 75 miles per hour, to get the speed in meter per seconds, we need to convert the given speed to meter per seconds.

Using the conversion 1 mile = 1609.34m and 1 hour = 3600 seconds

75 miles perhour = 75miles/1 hour

75miles/1 hour (in m/s) = 75miles*1609.34m* 1 hour/1mile * 1 hour * 3600s *

= 75 *1609.34m* 1 /1 * 1 * 3600s

= 120,700.5m/3600s

= 33.53m/s

<em>Hence the maximum speed limit on interstate 10 in metre per seconds is 33.53m/s</em>

When water changes into vapor this is called?
Scorpion4ik [409]

When water changes into vapor, it is called evaporation.  BONUS:  This is formed by the boiling point of water, which is 230°F (Fahrenheit) or 110°C (Celsius).
