You have a lightweight spring whose unstretched length is 4.0 cm. First, you attach one end of the spring to the ceiling and han

g a 1.8 g mass from it. This stretches the spring to a length of 5.1 cm . You then attach two small plastic beads to the opposite ends of the spring, lay the spring on a frictionless table, and give each plastic bead the same charge. This stretches the spring to a length of 4.3 cm .
Requried:
What is the magnitude of the charge (in nC) on each bead?

Answer:

2.2nC

Explanation:

Call the amount by which the spring’s unstretched length L,

the amount it stretches while hanging x1

and the amount it stretches while on the table x2.

Combining Hooke’s law with Newton’s second law, given that the stretched spring is not accelerating,

we have mg−kx1 =0, or k = mg /x1 , where k is the spring constant. On the other hand,

applying Coulomb’s law to the second part tells us ke q2/ (L+x2)2 − kx2 = 0 or q2 = kx2(L+x2)2/ke,

where ke is the Coulomb constant. Combining these,

we get q = √(mgx2(L+x2)²/x1ke =2.2nC

When you bent the plastic ruler, what did you observe in its size? ​
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

The size will increase.

Explanation:

When you bend a plastic ruler, it's size will increase because it is elastic and will exhibit elastic deformation. When it is been bent, it will continue to stretch until it get to a point where it will not be able to regain it formal shape, it size wound of increase. Therefore when the ruler get to elastic limit and you have bend it to the point it cannot regain it's formal shape back, it will remain bent and if further force is apply on it,it will break.

What is the resistance of a 3.5 m copper wire (Rho= 1.7x10-8 Ohm·m) that 1 point
VikaD [51]

Answer:

(D)

Explanation:

Given :

l=3.5 m

A=5.26*10^{-6} m^{2}

p=1.7*10^{-8}  ohm.m

Resistance can be calculated as :

R=p\frac{l}{A} \\R=1.7*10^{-8} \frac{3.5}{5.26*10^{-6} }

R=\frac{5.95*10^{-2} }{5.26} \\R=1.13*10^{-2}

Resistance of the wire will be 1.1×10^{-2} ohms

Option D is correct
