Two identical conducting spheres, A and B, carry equal charge. They are stationary and are separated by a distance much larger t

han their diameters. A third identical conducting sphere, C, is uncharged. Sphere C is first touched to A, then to B, and finally removed (to a far away distance). If before the sphere C is introduced the electrostatic force between A and B is Fi , how does Ff , the electrostatic force between A and B after C is removed, compare to Fi?

Answer:

8F_i = 3F_f

Explanation:

When two identical spheres are touched to each other, they equally share the total charge. Therefore, When neutral C is first touch to A, they share the initial charge of A equally.

Let us denote that the initial charge of A and B are Q. Then after C is touched to A, their respective charges are Q/2.

Then, C is touched to B, and they share the total charge of Q + Q/2 = 3Q/2. Their respective charges afterwards is 3Q/4 each.

The electrostatic force, Fi, in the initial configuration can be calculated as follows.

F_i = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_Aq_B}{r^2} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{Q^2}{r^2}[/tex}The electrostatic force, Ff, in the final configuration is [tex]F_f = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_Aq_B}{r^2} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{3Q^2/8}{r^2}[/tex}Therefore, the relation between Fi and Ff is as follows[tex]F_i = F_f\frac{3}{8}\\8F_i = 3F_f

How are the climates of coastal regions affected by the specific heat capacity of water?
Katen [24]

Answer:

The specific heat capacity can be defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 unit of mass by 1 unit temperature. The specific heat capacity of water is 4.186 joule/gram °C which is higher than common substances. The land has lower specific heat capacity. Thus, the land gets hot quickly than water.

This results in warming up air near the land which creates a difference in pressure across the coastal region. Sea breeze blows from sea towards landmass. Opposite happens at night, when water is still warm and land gets cooled down quickly. Then land breeze blows  from landmass towards the sea. This breeze maintains a moderate temperature and windy and humid weather in the coastal regions.

The engine in your car is sometimes called: A. A 2-stroke engine
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:A

Explanation:

Engines in car are 4 stroke engine . A 4-stroke engine is internal combustion engine which derives its power by four piston strokes . Internal combustion means combustion takes inside the engine i.e. is in cylinder.

There are process in 4 stroke engine

  • Intake: Intake of air
  • Compression:compression of intake air to a high pressure
  • Combustion:Fuel is injected and burned to get power
  • Exhaust:removal of exhaust gases after combustion

A pebble is released from rest at a certain height and falls freely, reaching an impact speed of 6 m/s at the floor. Next, the p
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let h be the height .

initial velocity in first case u = 0

final velocity v = 6 m /s

acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m /s²

v² = u² + 2 g h

6² = 0 + 2 x 9.8 x h

h = 1.837 m .

For second case u = 3 m /s

v² = u² + 2 gh

= 3² + 2 x 1.837 x 9.8

= 9 + 36

= 45 m

v = 6.7 m /s
