a charge of −− 3 μCμC is positioned directly above the first sphere. The distance between the two spheres is 0.3 mm . Part A What is the reading on the scale? Express your answer in newtons to three significant figures.

Answer:

F_Balance = 46.6 N ,m' = 4,755 kg

Explanation:

In this exercise, when the sphere is placed on the balance, it indicates the weight of the sphere, when another sphere of opposite charge is placed, they are attracted so that the balance reading decreases, resulting in

∑ F = 0

Fe –W + F_Balance = 0

F_Balance = - Fe + W

The electric force is given by Coulomb's law

Fe = k q₁ q₂ / r₂

The weight is

W = mg

Let's replace

F_Balance = mg - k q₁q₂ / r₂

Let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

q₁ = + 8 μC = +8 10⁻⁶ C

q₂ = - 3 μC = - 3 10⁻⁶ C

r = 0.3 m = 0.3 m

Let's calculate

F_Balance = 5 9.8 - 8.99 10⁹ 8 10⁻⁶ 3 10⁻⁶ / (0.3)²

F_Balance = 49 - 2,397

F_Balance = 46.6 N

This is the balance reading, if it is calibrated in kg, it must be divided by the value of the gravity acceleration.

Mass reading is

m' = F_Balance / g

m' = 46.6 /9.8

m' = 4,755 kg

A force of 3600 N is exerted on a piston that has an area of 0.030 m2. What force is exerted on a second piston that has an area

Airida [17]

For Pascal's law, the pressure is transmitted with equal intensity to every part of the fluid:
$p_1 = p_2$
which becomes
$\frac{F_1}{A_1}= \frac{F_2}{A_2}$
where
$F_1=3600 N$ is the force on the first piston
$A_1=0.030 m^2$ is the area of the first piston
$F_2$ is the force on the second piston
$A_2=0.015 m^2$ is the area of the second piston

If we rearrange the equation and we use these data, we can find the intensity of the force on the second piston:
$F_2=F_1 \frac{A_2}{A_1}=(3600 N) \frac{0.015 m^2}{0.030 m^2}= 1800 N$

Solution:-

- The Quantity of theory of money states:

M * V = P * Y

Where,

M = Money supply

V = Velocity of money exchange

P = The price level

Y = Real GDP

- By re-arranging the formula and solving for "V" we have:

V = P*Y / M

- The expression on right hand side increases if exchange of dollars increases.

A hot-air balloon and its basket are accelerating upward at 0.265 m/s2, propelled by a net upward force of 688 N. A rope of negl

Sergeu [11.5K]

Question:<em> </em><em>Find, separately, them mass of the balloon and the basket (incidentally, most of the balloon's mass is air)</em>

Answer:

The mass of the balloon is 2295 kg, and the mass of the basket is 301 kg.

Explanation:

Let us call the mass of the balloon $m_1$ and the mass of the basket $m_2$ , then according to newton's second law:

$(1). \:F = (m_1+m_2)a$ ,

where $a =0.265m/s^2$ is the upward acceleration, and $F = 688N$ is the net propelling force (counts the gravitational force).

Also, the tension $T$ in the rope is 79.8 N more than the basket's weight; therefore,

$(2). \:T = m_2g+79.8$

and this tension must equal

$T -m_2g =m_2a$

$(3). \:T = m_2g +m_2a$

Combining equations (2) and (3) we get:

$m_2a = 79.8$

since $a =0.265m/s^2$ , we have

$\boxed{m_2 = 301.13kg}$

Putting this into equation (1) and substituting the numerical values of $F$ and $a$ , we get:

$688N = (m_1+301.13kg)(0.265m/s^2)$

$\boxed{m_1 = 2295 kg}$

Thus, the mass of the balloon and the basket is 2295 kg and 301 kg respectively.

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

a) Not Accurate

b) Not Accurate

c) Accurate

d) Accurate

Explanation:

Part a

Not Accurate, because destructive interference would lead to maximum possible magnitude of < 3 m

Part b

Not Accurate, because constructive interference would lead to minimum possible magnitude of > 2 m

Part c

Accurate, because destructive interference would lead to maximum possible magnitude of < 3 m by varying the phase difference between two waves she can achieve the desired results.

Part d

Accurate, because constructive interference would lead to minimum possible magnitude of > 2 m by varying the phase difference between two waves she can achieve the desired results.

An airplane engine starts from rest; and 2 seconds later, it is rotating with an angular speed of 300 rev/min. if the angular ac

elena-s [515]

First of all, we need to convert the angular speed from rev/min into rev/s:

$\omega_f=300 rev/min=5 rev/s$

The angular acceleration is the variation of angular speed divided by the time:

$\alpha=\frac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{t}=\frac{5 rev/s-0}{2 s}=2.5 rev/s^2$

And this is constant, so we can use the following equation to calculate the angle through which the engine has rotated:

$\theta(t)=\frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2 =\frac{1}{2}(2.5 rev/s^2)(2 s)^2=5 rev$

so, 5 revolutions.
