<span>890 Coulomb's law is F = k * q1 * q2 / r^2 where F = force k = Coulomb's constant 8.99x10^9 N m^2/C^2 q1,q2 = signed charges r = distance between charges Since the charges are the same, let's simplify the equation, solve for q, then substitute the known values and calculate. F = k * q1 * q2 / r^2 F = k * q^2 / r^2 F*r^2 = k * q^2 F*r^2/k = q^2 sqrt(F*r^2/k) = q sqrt(4.57x10^-21 N * (0.2m)^2 / (8.99x10^9 N m^2/C^2)) = q sqrt((4.57x10^-21 N * 0.04m^2) / (8.99x10^9 N m^2/C^2)) = q sqrt((1.828x10^-22 N*m^2) / (8.99x10^9 N m^2/C^2)) = q sqrt(2.03337x10^-32 C^2) = q 1.42596x10^-16 C = q So each sphere has to have an excess of 1.42596x10^-16 Coulombs of electrons. A coulomb is 6.24150934x10^18 electrons, so let's do the multiplication: 1.42596x10^-16 * 6.24150934x10^18 = 8.9001426584664x10^2 = 890 So each sphere has an extra 890 electrons.</span>

A circuit contains an EMF source, a resistor R, a capacitor C, and an open switch in series. The capacitor initially carries zer
Flura [38]

Answer:

t = 1.098*RC

Explanation:

In order to calculate the time that the capacitor takes to reach 2/3 of its maximum charge, you use the following formula for the charge of the capacitor:

Q=Q_{max}[1-e^{-\frac{t}{RC}}]         (1)

Qmax: maximum charge capacity of the capacitor

t: time

R: resistor of the circuit

C: capacitance of the circuit

When the capacitor has 2/3 of its maximum charge, you have that

Q=(2/3)Qmax    

You replace the previous expression for Q in the equation (1), and use properties of logarithms to solve for t:

Q=\frac{2}{3}Q_{max}=Q_{max}[1-e^{-\frac{t}{RC}}]\\\\\frac{2}{3}=1-e^{-\frac{t}{RC}}\\\\e^{-\frac{t}{RC}}=\frac{1}{3}\\\\-\frac{t}{RC}=ln(\frac{1}{3})\\\\t=-RCln(\frac{1}{3})=1.098RC

The charge in the capacitor reaches 2/3 of its maximum charge in a time equal to 1.098RC

An engineer is designing a spring to be placed at the bottom of an elevator shaft. If the elevator cable should happen to break
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

Value that the spring constant k = 12Mg / h

Explanation:

According to 2nd law of Newton:

upward force of the spring= F

The weight of the elevator W = mg

            F = Mg = M(5g)

==> F =6Mg.

As the spring is compressed to its maximum distance ie s,the maximum upward acceleration comes just , Hence

  F =ks = 6Mg

==>   s = 6Mg/k

We have gravitational potential energy turning into elastic potential of the spring as the elevator starts at the top some distance h from the spring, and undergoes a total change in height equal to h + s, so:

            Mg(h+s) = 1/2ks2

And plugging in our expression for s:

         Mg(h+6Mg/k)= 1/2k(6Mg / k)2

          gh + 6M2g2/k = 1/2k(36M2g2 /k2)

        Mgh +6M2g2/k = 1/2k(36M2g2 /k2)

             gh + 6Mg2/k = 18Mg2 / k

                             gh = 12Mg2 / k

                               h = 12Mg / k

                               k = 12Mg / h
