A 5 kgkg sphere having a charge of ++ 8 μCμC is placed on a scale, which measures its weight in newtons. A second sphere having

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 large parallel plate capacitor has plate seperation of 1.00 cm and plate area of 314 cm^2. The capacitor is connected across a
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

W = -2.76\times 10^{-9}~J

Explanation:

The work done on the capacitor is equal to the difference in potential energy stored in the capacitor in two different cases.

The potential energy is given by the following formula:

U = \frac{1}{2}CV^2

where C can be calculated using the plate separation and area.

C = \epsilon\frac{A}{d} = \epsilon\frac{0.0314}{0.01} = 3.14\epsilon

Therefore, the potential energy in the first case is

U = \frac{1}{2}3.14\epsilon (20)^2 = 628\epsilon

In the second case:

C_2 = \epsilon\frac{A}{d} = \epsilon\frac{0.0314}{0.02} = 1.57\epsilon\\U = \frac{1}{2}C_2 V^2 = \frac{1}{2}1.57\epsilon (20)^2 = 314\epsilon

The permittivity of the air is very close to that of vacuum, which is 8.8 x 10^-12.

So, the difference in the potential energy is

W = U_2 - U_1 = \epsilon(314 - 628) = -314 \times 8.8 \times 10^{-12} = -2.76\times 10^{-9}~J

Please tell me why the answer is zero
Oduvanchick [21]

This question is checking to see whether you understand the meaning
of "displacement".

Displacement is a vector: 

-- Its magnitude (size) is the distance between the start-point and
the end-point, no matter what route might have been followed along
the way.

-- Its direction is the direction from the start-point to the end-point.

Talking about the Earth's orbit around the sun, we can forget about
the direction of the displacement, and just talk about its magnitude
(size).

If we pretend that the sun is not moving and dragging the whole
solar system along with it, then what do we see the Earth doing
in one year ? 
We mark the place where the Earth is at the stroke of midnight
on New Year's Eve.  Then we watch it as it swings around through
this gigantic orbit, all the way around the sun, and in a year, it's back
to the same point that we marked ! 

So what's the magnitude of the displacement in exactly one year ?
It's the distance between the start-point and the end-point.  But the
Earth came back to the same place it started from, so there's no
separation at all between the start-point and the end-point. 
The Earth covered a huge distance in that year, but the displacement
is zero.
