Objects 1 and 2 attract each other with an electrostatic force of 72.0 units. if the charge of object 1 is halved, then the electrostatic force is 36.0 units

Let's understand the answer

The electrostatic force is the force that exists between two charged particles which is given by:

F = K\frac{Q_{1}Q_{2}}{r^{2}}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1 and q2 are the two charges

r is the distance between the charges

In this problem, the charge of object 2 is doubled, so

F = K\frac{\frac{Q_{1}}{2} Q_{2}}{r^{2}}

F = \frac{K}{2} \frac{Q_{1} Q_{2}}{r^{2}}

F = \frac{F_{initial}}{2}

So, the electrostatic force will be halved.

Since as the initial electrostatic force is

F = 72.0 units

the new force will be

72/2 = 36 units

The emf induced in a coil that is rotating in a magnetic field will be at a maximum at which moment?
adelina 88 [10]
TLDR: It will reach a maximum when the angle between the area vector and the magnetic field vector are perpendicular to one another.

This is an example that requires you to investigate the properties that occur in electric generators; for example, hydroelectric dams produce electricity by forcing a coil to rotate in the presence of a magnetic field, generating a current.

To solve this, we need to understand the principles of electromotive forces and Lenz’ Law; changing the magnetic field conditions around anything with this potential causes an induced current in the wire that resists this change. This principle is known as Lenz’ Law, and can be described using equations that are specific to certain situations. For this, we need the two that are useful here:

e = -N•dI/dt; dI = ABcos(theta)

where “e” describes the electromotive force, “N” describes the number of loops in the coil, “dI” describes the change in magnetic flux, “dt” describes the change in time, “A” describes the area vector of the coil (this points perpendicular to the loops, intersecting it in open space), “B” describes the magnetic field vector, and theta describes the angle between the area and mag vectors.

Because the number of loops remains constant and the speed of the coils rotation isn’t up for us to decide, the only thing that can increase or decrease the emf is the change in magnetic flux, represented by ABcos(theta). The magnetic field and the size of the loop are also constant, so all we can control is the angle between the two. To generate the largest emf, we need cos(theta) to be as large as possible. To do this, we can search a graph of cos(theta) for the highest point. This occurs when theta equals 90 degrees, or a right angle. Therefore, the electromotive potential will reach a maximum when the angle between the area vector and the magnetic field vector are perpendicular to one another.

Hope this helps!

A rock falls from the top of a hill to the bottom. The total energy of the rock at the top isn’t the same as the sum of its pote
mart [117]

Answer:

A) some of the rocks energy is transformed to thermal energy

Explanation:

If we neglect air resistance during the fall of the rock, than the mechanical energy of the rock (which is sum of its potential energy and its kinetic energy) would be constant during the entire motion, so the total energy of the rock at the top would be the same as the sum of its potential energy and kinetic energy at the bottom.

However, this not occurs, due to the presence of air resistance. In fact, air resistance acts against the fall of the rock, and because of the friction between the molecules of air and the surface of the rock, the rock loses part of its energy. This energy is converted into thermal energy of the molecules of the air.

If an astronaut has a mass of 16 Kg on Earth, what would be his mass on the moon and on the space station
nlexa [21]

Answer:

The astronaut's mass is 16 kg.

Explanation:

Mass can be defined as a measure of the amount of matter an object or a body comprises of. The standard unit of measurement of the mass of an object or a body is kilograms.

Irrespective of the location of an object or a body at a given moment in time, the mass (amount of matter that they're made up of) is constant. This ultimately implies that, whether you're in the moon, space, earth or any other place, your mass remains the same (constant).

Therefore, if an astronaut has a mass of 16 Kg on Earth, his mass on the moon and on the space station would remain the same, as his original mass of 16 Kg because mass is indestructible.
