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

An elevator ascends at a constant speed of 4 m/s, how much time is required for the elevator in order to travel 120 m upwards?
vlabodo [156]

We simply use the formula,

velocity =\frac{distance}{time}

Given, velocity = 4 m per s and distance = 120 m.

Substituting these values, we get

4\ m/s =\frac{120\ m}{time}\\\\\ time=\frac{120\ m}{4\ m/s} = 30\ s.

Thus, required time for the elevator in order to travel 120 m upwards is 30 s.

What is a warming sign that suggest a weight loss plan is a fad diet rather than a healthy weight loss plan?
Serga [27]

Answer:

Warming signs before fad diet includes:

1. When a special type of diet is recommended for weight loss.

2. When quick weight loss is promised instead of advice on the need to exercise, eat healthy foods including fruits and vegetables, and adopt a good feeding behavior.

3. Promises rapid weight loss in a short period of time.

After taking the fad diet the following might be experienced:

1. Constipation.

2. Weakness and fatigue.

3. More accumulation of fats in the body in the long run after a short term normal  BMI (Body mass index).

4. Lower metabolic rates over time.

Explanation:

weight loss is a practice adopted by people for various reasons ranging from the desire to stay healthy to, ability to pursue a career that requires a good Body Mass Index. For instance, A BMI (Body mass index) which is equal to a person's weight (kg) / (height(m))^2 of 30 and higher is considered obese.

Fad diet which may give a temporary result of weight loss is not considered totally healthy as it doesn't capture the need to eat a healthy balanced diet instead focuses on more routine consumption of a particular kind of diet.

A healthy weight loss plan captures the need to exercise, reduce body fats while eating healthy. Eating fruits, vegetables are also encouraged.

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

During a typical school day all forms of eneergy is being utilised and also transfer of energy takes place from one form to another.

Explanation:

Chemical energy- A bunsen burner burning a beaker filled with water.

Heat energy- The water in the beaker absorbing the heat from the burner.

Electrical energy- Running Fans and lights in a classroom by switches.

Solar energy- Solar energy harnessed by solar panels to run the fans and lights by converting it into electrical energy.

Potential energy- A ball being held by a student at a certain height possesses energy due to gravity.

Kinetic energy- The same ball being left by the boy from a certain height produces kinetic energy
