1 kg (kilogram) is equal to approx. 9.80665 n (newtons) so a 50 kg object would be 490.33250 newtons

A 0.00275 kg air‑inflated balloon is given an excess negative charge q1 =−3.50×10−8 C by rubbing it with a blanket. It is found

Answer:

1) $\rm q_2$ is<u> positive.</u>

<u></u>

2) $\rm q_2=4.56\times 10^{-10}\ C.$

Explanation:

<u></u>

The charged rod is held above the balloon and the weight of the balloon acts in downwards direction. To balance the weight of the balloon, the force on the balloon due to the rod must be directed along the upwards direction, which is only possible when the rod exerts an attractive force on the balloon and the electrostatic force on the balloon due to the rod is attractive when the polarities of the charge on the two are different.

Thus, In order for this to occur, the polarity of charge on the rod must be positive, i.e., $\rm q_2$ is <u>positive.</u>

<u></u>

<u></u>

<u>Given:</u>

Mass of the balloon, m = 0.00275 kg.
Charge on the balloon, $\rm q_1 = -3.50\times 10^{-8}\ C.$
Distance between the rod and the balloon, d = 0.0640 m.
Acceleration due to gravity, $\rm g = 9.81\ m/s^2.$

In order to balloon to be float in air, the weight of the balloom must be balanced with the electrostatic force on the balloon due to rod.

Weight of the balloon, $\rm W = mg = 0.00275\times 9.81=2.70\times 10^{-2}\ N.$

The magnitude of the electrostatic force on the balloon due to the rod is given by

$\rm F_e = \dfrac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_o}\dfrac{|q_1||q_2|}{d^2}.$

$\rm \dfrac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_o}$ is the Coulomb's constant.

For the elecric force and the weight to be balanced,

$\rm F_e = W\\\dfrac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_o}\dfrac{|q_1||q_2|}{d^2}=W\\8.99\times 10^9\times \dfrac{3.50\times10^{-8}\times |q_2| }{0.0640^2}=2.70\times 10^{-2}\\|q_2| = \dfrac{2.70\times 10^{-2}\times 0.00640^2}{8.99\times 10^9\times 2.70\times 10^{-7}}=4.56\times 10^{-10}\ C.$

A scuba diver and her gear displace a volume of 67.0 l and have a total mass of 64.0 kg. (a) what is the buoyant force on the di

slavikrds [6]

Buoyant force is the force that is a result from the pressure exerted by a fluid on the object. We calculate this value by using the Archimedes principle where it says that the upward buoyant force that is being exerted to a body that is immersed in the fluid is equal to the fluid's weight that the object has displaced. Buoyant force always acts opposing the direction of weight. We calculate as follows:

Fb = W
Fb = mass (acceleration due to gravity)
Fb = 64.0 kg ( 9.81 m/s^2)
Fb = 627.84 kg m/s^2

Therefore, the buoyant force that is exerted on the diver in the sea water would be 627.84 N

Use this formula to solve this problem:

Maslowich

Well, you gave us the formula to calculate power from work and time,
but you didn't give us the formula for work. We have to know that.

   Work = (force) x (distance)

The work to raise Sara to the top of the hill is

   Work = (300 N) x (15 meters)

   = 4,500 newton-meters = 4,500 joules .

Now we're ready to use the formula that you gave us. (Thank you.)

Power = (work) / (time)

= (4,500 joules) / (10 seconds)

450 joules/second = 450 watts.
