Suppose a thin conducting wire connects two conducting spheres. A negatively charged rod is brought near one of the spheres, the

wire between them is cut, and the charged rod is taken away. Which one of the following is true? a. The spheres will attract each other. b. The spheres will repel each other. c. There will be no electrostatic force between the spheres

Answer:

a. The spheres will attract each other.

Explanation:

When two conducting spheres are connected by a conducting wire and a negatively charged rod is brought near it then this will induce opposite (positive) charge at the nearest point on the sphere and by the conservation of charges there will also be equal amount of negative charge on the farthest end of this conducting system this is called induced polarization.

When the conducting wire which joins them is cut while the charged rod is still in proximity to of one of the metallic sphere then there will be physical separation of the two equal and unlike charges on the spheres which will not get any path to flow back and neutralize.

Hence the two spheres will experience some amount of electrostatic force between them.

The energy levels of a particular quantum object are -11.7 eV, -4.2 eV, and -3.3 eV. If a collection of these objects is bombard

gogolik [260]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply an energy balance equation in each of the states to assess what their respective relationship is.

By definition the energy balance is simply given by the change between the two states:

$|\Delta E_{ij}| = |E_i-E_j|$

Our states are given by

$E_1 = -11.7eV$

$E_2 = -4.2eV$

$E_3 = -3.3eV$

In this way the energy balance for the states would be given by,

$|\Delta E_{12}| = |E_1-E_2|\\|\Delta E_{12}| = |-11.7-(-4.2)|\\|\Delta E_{12}| = 7.5eV\\$

$|\Delta E_{13}| = |E_1-E_3|\\|\Delta E_{13}| = |-11.7-(-3.3)|\\|\Delta E_{13}| = 8.4eV$

$|\Delta E_{23}| = |E_2-E_3|\\|\Delta E_{23}| = |-4.2-(-3.3)|\\|\Delta E_{23}| = 0.9eV$

Therefore the states of energy would be

Lowest : 0.9eV

Middle :7.5eV

Highest: 8.4eV

1) A force of 157 N is applied to a box 25o above the horizontal. If it is applied over a distance of 14.5 m how much work is do

vfiekz [6]

#1

Work done is given by

$W = F.d cos\theta$

here we know that

F = 157 N

d = 14.5

$\theta = 25^0$

now from the above formula

$W = (157)(14.5)cos25 = 2063.2 J$

#2

By energy conservation

Initial total potential energy of egg = final total kinetic energy of egg

$mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$v = \sqrt{2gh}$

$v = \sqrt{2(9.8)(8.2)}$

$v = 12.7 m/s$

#3

By momentum conservation we know that

$m_1v_1 = (m_1 + m_2)v$

$215(9.5) = (215 + 19.7) v$

$v = \frac{215 (9.5)}{215 + 19.7}$

$v = 8.7 m/s$

#4

by momentum conservation we know that

$m_1v_1 + m_2v_2 = (m_1 + m_2) v$

let direction of velocity of Jay Z car motion is positive direction

now we will say

$1100(-20) + 1475v = (1100 + 1475)(7)$

$1475 v = 2575(7) + 1100(20)$

$v = 27.14 m/s$

Yes Jay Z is overspeeding as his speed is more than speed limit

#5

Tension force in the string will be centripetal force

so here we can say

$T = \frac{mv^2}{R}$

here we know that

m = 0.63 kg

v = 7.8 m/s

R = 0.23 m

$T = \frac{0.63 (7.8)^2}{0.23}$

$T = 166.6 N$

Two objects are in freefall. Object A experiences a gravitational force of

Vlad1618 [11]

<u>Answer:</u>

Both the objects A and B will have the same acceleration.

<u>Explanation :</u>

The objects will have the same acceleration as both are under free fall condition. When objects are under the free fall condition, the only force that acts on the object is its weight.

Weight is the force acting on a body of some mass, and the formula for finding the weight of a body is- Weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity(g).

Therefore, here the different weight is due to the difference masses of both bodies, and not due to the different acceleration values.
