Two identical small charged spheres are a certain distance apart, and each one initially experiences an electrostatic force of m

agnitude F due to the other. With time, charge gradually leaks off of both spheres. When each of the spheres has lost half its initial charge, the magnitude of the electrostatic force will be

Answer: c) 1/4F

Explanation: In order to explain this result we must use the Coulomb force expression, that is:

F=(k*q1*q2)/d^2 where d is the distance between spheres, k a constant equal to 9*10^9N^2.m^2/C

after time each sphere lost haft of original charge and taking into account that F is directly proportional to charge of each sphere,

we have Fafter=(k*q1/2*q2/2)/d^2

then Fafter=(1/4)(k*q1*q2)/d^2=(1/4)Finitial

How might you describe the mathematical procedure of finding the displacement when an object travels in two opposite directions?
levacccp [35]
Displacement is a vector quantity. So, you incorporate the vector calculations when you try to determine the resultant vector. This is the shortest path from the starting point to the endpoint. If they are moving on one axis only, you use sign conventions. For motions moving to the left, use the negative sign. If it's moving to the right, then use the positive sign. Now, it the object moves 2 km to the left, and 2 km also to the right, the displacement is zero.

Displacement = 2 km - 2km = 0

Generally, the equation is:
<span>Displacement = Distance of motion to the right - Distance of motion to the left</span>

What is negative acceleration?
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

An object which moves in the positive direction has a positive velocity. If the object is slowing down then its acceleration vector is directed in the opposite direction as its motion (in this case, a negative acceleration).

Unpolarized light of intensity I0 = 950 W/m2 is incident upon two polarizers. The first has its polarizing axis vertical, and th
Ket [755]

Answer:

Intensity of the light (first polarizer) (I₁) = 425 W/m²

Intensity of the light (second polarizer) (I₂) = 75.905 W/m²

Explanation:

Given:

Unpolarized light of intensity (I₀) = 950 W/m²

θ = 65°

Find:

a. Intensity of the light (first polarizer)

b. Intensity of the light (second polarizer)

Computation:

a. Intensity of the light (first polarizer)

Intensity of the light (first polarizer) (I₁) = I₀ / 2

Intensity of the light (first polarizer) (I₁) = 950 / 2

Intensity of the light (first polarizer) (I₁) = 425 W/m²

b. Intensity of the light (second polarizer)

Intensity of the light (second polarizer) (I₂) = (I₁)cos²θ

Intensity of the light (second polarizer) (I₂) = (425)(0.1786)

Intensity of the light (second polarizer) (I₂) = 75.905 W/m²

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

a = \dfrac{4\pi^2R}{T^2}

Explanation:

The acceleration of a circular motion is given by

a = \omega^2 R

where \omega is the angular velocity and R is the radius.

Angular velocity is related to the period, T, by

\omega=\dfrac{2\pi}{T}

Substitute into the previous formula.

a = (\dfrac{2\pi}{T})^2 R

a = \dfrac{4\pi^2R}{T^2}

This acceleration does not depend on the linear or angular displacement. Hence, the amount of rotation does not change it.

Which of the following is most likely not a case of uniform circular motion
Ivan

Answer:

Motion of a racing car on a circular track

Explanation:

Uniform circular motion means the motion of the object is in a circle with a CONSTANT SPEED.

The racing car will accelerate during its motion. Hence, it is not a uniform circular motion.
