Each of two small non-conducting spheres is charged positively, the combined charge being 40 μC. When the two spheres are 50 cm

apart, each sphere is repelled from the other by a force of magnitude 2.0 N. Determine the magnitude of the smaller of the two charges.

Answer:

1.44 x 10⁻⁶ C

Explanation:

q_{1} = charge on one sphere

q_{2} = charge on other sphere

q = Total charge on the two spheres = 40 μC

q_{1}+ q_{2} = q

q_{1}+ q_{2} = 40 x 10⁻⁶

q_{1} = (40 x 10⁻⁶) - q_{2}                                   eq-1

r = distance between the two spheres = 50 cm = 0.50 m

F = magnitude of force between the two spheres = 2.0 N

Magnitude of force between the two spheres is given as

F = \frac{k q_{1} q_{2}}{r^{2}}

2.0 = \frac{(9\times 10^{9}) ((40\times 10^{-6}) - q_{2}) q_{2}}{0.50^{2}}

q_{2} = 1.44 x 10⁻⁶ C

An orbiting satellite can become charged by the photoelectric effect when sunlight ejects electrons from its outer surface. Sate
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

the longest wavelength of incident sunlight that can eject an electron from the platinum is 233 nm

Explanation:

Given data

Φ = 5.32 eV

to find out

the longest wavelength

solution

we know that

hf = k(maximum) +Ф   ...............1

here we consider k(maximum ) will be zero because photon wavelength max when low photon energy

so hf = 0

and hc/ λ = +Ф

so λ = hc/Ф  ................2

now put value hc = 1240 ev nm and Φ = 5.32 eV

so hc = 1240 / 5.32

hc = 233 nm

the longest wavelength of incident sunlight that can eject an electron from the platinum is 233 nm

The haystack maker tractor lifted 120 kg of grass to a height of 5 meters in 6 seconds. Calculate the power of the haystack make
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

1000 Joules per second.

Explanation:

To lift that much grass 5 meters higher than it was before the tractor did work that is the product of the (force needed to overdo gravity) and (displacement):

W = mg\Delta h=120kg\cdot 10\frac{m}{s^2}\cdot 5m = 6000J

Power is work over the amount of time:

P = \frac{W}{\Delta t}=\frac{6000J}{6 s} = 1000 \frac{J}{s}
