g Two identical metal spheres (small enough to be treated as particles) each with a mass of 3.1 × 10−3 kg are hung from separate

identical strings. The strings are 0.70 m long and are attached to the same nail in the ceiling. Surplus electrons are added to each sphere, and then the spheres are brought in contact with each other and released. Their equilibrium position is such that each string makes an angle of 15.0° with the vertical. How many surplus electrons are on each sphere?

Answer:

Explanation:

Let q be the charges on each spheres , 2d be the distance between them in equilibrium , T be tension in the string and F be the force of repulsion between them

F = k q² /4d²

For equilibrium

T sin15 = F

T cos 15 = mg

tan15 = F / mg

F = mg tan15

k q² /4d² = mg tan15

k q² = 4d² x mg tan15

= 4 x( .7 sin15)² x 3.1 x 10⁻³ x 9.8 x .2679

= 1.068 x 10⁻³

q = .3444 x 10⁻⁶ C

no of electrons

= .3444 x 10⁻⁶ / 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹

= 215.25 x 10¹⁰

Question 1 (1 point)

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Solid objects will deform when adequate loads are applied to them; if the material is elastic, the object will return to its initial shape and size after removal. This is in contrast to plasticity, in which the object fails to do so and instead remains in its deformed state.

determine the greates possile acceleration of the 975 kg race car so that its front wheels do not leace the gorund

wolverine [178]

<u>Answer</u>:

The greatest possible acceleration of the car is $a_G= 6.78 m/s^2$

<u>Explanation</u>:

$N_A+N_B-Mg = 0$

$-N_Aa +N_B(b-a)- \mu_s N_Bh - \mu_s N_Ah = 0$

$0.8N_B +0.8N_A = 975a_G$

$N_A+N_B = 9564.75$ -------------(1)

$-N_A(1.82) + N_B(2.20 -1.82) -0.9N_B(0.55)-0.8N_A(0.55)=0$

$-N_A(1.82) +0.38 N_B -0.44N_B -0.44N_A=0$

$-2.26N_A -0.06N_B= 0$ ----------------(2)

Solving the equation (1) and(2)

$N_A + N_B = 9564.75$

$-2.26N_A-0.06N_B=0$

$N_A = -260.85N$

$N_B = 9825.60N$

$\mu_s N_B + \mu_s N_A = 975a_G$

$0.8(9825.60)+0.8(-260.85) = 975a_G$ $a_G=\frac{7651.8}{975}$ $a_G_1=7.4848m/s^2$

Next lets assume that the front wheels contact with the ground N_A = 0

$F_B = Ma_G$

$N_B = M_g$

$N_B - M_g = 0$

$N_B(b-a) –F_Bh = 0$

$F_B = 975a_G$

$N_B-975(9.8) = 0$

$N_B=9564.75N$

$9564.75(2.20 -1.82) -F_B(0.55)=0$

$\frac{3634.605}{0.55}=F_B$

$F_B = 6608.3$

$F_B = Ma_G$

$6608.3 = 975a_G$

$a_G = 6.7778 m/s^2$

$a_G_2 = 6.78m/s^2$

Choosing the critical case

$a_G = min(a_G_1 ,a_G_2)$

$a_G = min(7.848, 6.78)$

$a_G= 6.78 m/s^2$

Technician A says that the cooling system should be tested for leaks using a pressure-operated pressure pump. Technician B says

mart [117]

Answer:

The correct option is;

Technician A only

Explanation:

Leaks in the cooling system parts such as the radiator cap can be tested with a pressure operated hand pump by attaching the pump cap to the pump with an adaptor and apply pressure enough for there to be a release of pressure at the cap.

The pressure added to the system should be maintained for up to two minutes. If the pressure drops quicker, then there is likely to be leaks in the system

The freezing and boiling point of the coolant is measured with an antifreeze tester which carries the appropriate apparatus to measure the coolants freezing and boiling points.
