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

If a transformer has 50 turns in the primary winding and 10 turns on the secondary winding, what is the reflected resistance in
Elza [17]

Answer:

The reflected resistance in the primary winding is 6250 Ω

Explanation:

Given;

number of turns in the primary winding, N_P = 50 turns

number of turns in the secondary winding, N_S = 10 turns

the secondary load resistance, R_S = 250 Ω

Determine the turns ratio;

K = \frac{N_P}{N_S} \\\\K = \frac{50}{10} \\\\K = 5

Now, determine the reflected resistance in the primary winding;

\frac{R_P}{R_S} = K^2\\\\R_P = R_SK^2\\\\R_P = 250(5)^2\\\\R_P = 6250 \ Ohms

Therefore, the reflected resistance in the primary winding is 6250 Ω

Would a rougher or smoother object absorb thermal energy faster? Why? Give an example.
Nuetrik [128]
Smoother because it will increase energy and when the energy increases it’ll create heat also . Example: A car racing on a smooth road it’ll go faster than a Car speeding on a bumpy and rough road , Hope that helps .

How am I supposed to solve this?
RSB [31]

Answer:

4.02 km/hr

Explanation:

5 km/hr = 1.39 m/s

The swimmer's speed relative to the ground must have the same direction as line AC.

The vertical component of the velocity is:

uᵧ = us cos 45

uᵧ = √2/2 us

The horizontal component of the velocity is:

uₓ = 1.39 − us sin 45

uₓ = 1.39 − √2/2 us

Writing a proportion:

uₓ / uᵧ = 121 / 159

(1.39 − √2/2 us) / (√2/2 us) = 121 / 159

Cross multiply and solve:

159 (1.39 − √2/2 us) = 121 (√2/2 us)

220.8 − 79.5√2 us = 60.5√2 us

220.8 = 140√2 us

us = 1.115

The swimmer's speed is 1.115 m/s, or 4.02 km/hr.

Sunlight strikes a solar panel, which is then used to power the lights in a
Stells [14]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Sunlight comes in the form of light energy. Upon striking the solar panels, it converts the light energy into electrical energy so as to run throughout the circuits. Then since it's used to power light, the electrical energy will be converted back into light energy
