The charge on the particle is negative.
Answer:
Q = 1.095 x 10^-9 C
Let the force experienced by the top piece of tape be F
F = kQ²/r²
r = distance between the two pieces tape = 1.00cm = 1.00 x 10^ -2 m
1/4(pi)*Eo = k = 8.99 x 10^9 Nm²/C²
The electric force of repulsion between the two charges and the weight of the top piece of tape are equal so
F = kQ²/r² = mg
Where m is the mass of the top piece of tape and g is the acceleration due to gravity
On re-arranging the equation above,
Q² = mgr²/k
Q² = ((11.0 x 10^-6) x 9.8 x (1.00x10^-2)²)/(8.99 x 10^9)
Q = 1.095x10^-9 C
Explanation:
The charge Q on both pieces of tape are equal and both act with a force of repulsion on each other.
The force of repulsion between both tapes pushes the top piece of tape upwards. The weight of the top piece of tape acts vertically downward. Since the top tape is in a position of equilibrium, the two forces acting on the top piece of tape must be equal to each other. This assumption is backed up by newton's first law of motion which states that the summation of all forces acting on a body at rest must be equal to zero. That is
Fe (electric force) - Fg (gravitational force) = 0
Fe = Fg
kQ²/r² = mg
On substituting the respective values for all variables except Q and rearranging the equation Q = 1.09 x 10^-9

Answer:
The temperature reported by a thermometer is never precisely the same as its surroundings
Explanation:
In this experiment to determine the specific heat of a material the theory explains that when a heat interchange takes place between two bodies that were having different temperatures at the start, the quantity of heat the warmer body looses is equal to that gained by the cooler body to reach the equilibrium temperature. <u>This is true only if no heat is lost or gained from the surrounding.</u> If heat is gained or lost from the surrounding environment, the temperature readings by the thermometer will be incorrect. The experimenter should therefore keep in mind that for accurate results, the temperature recorded by the thermometer is similar to that of the surrounding at the start of the experiment and if it differs then note that there is either heat gained or lost to the environment.
