Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

Grounding of an object means we connect the given object to the earth by a conducting wire.

here we know that Earth is considered as a large conductor with ZERO potential which means if we connect an object to the earth then it will come to zero potential.

Now if an object is initially charge and then it is connected to Earth for grounding then in that case the final potential of the object must be zero.

In order to make the final potential to be zero we need to transfer all its charge to the earth so in order to make it neutral either electrons are flowing into the object or it will flow out of the object.

so here this is a TRUE statement

makvit [3.9K]

Answers:

(a) 2509.98 m/s

(b) 397042.215 m

(c) 1917.76 m/s

Explanation:

The question is incomplete, please remember to write the whole question :) However, part (a) is written below:

(a) What is the escape speed on a spherical asteroid whose radius is 700 km  and whose gravitational acceleration at the surface is a_{g}=4.5 m/s^{2}

Knowing this, let's begin:

a) In this part we need to find the escape speed V_{e} on the asteroid:

V_{e}=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}} (1)

Where:

G is the universal gravitational constant

M is the mass of the asteroid

R=700 km=700(10)^{3} m is the radius of the asteroid

On the other hand we know the gravitational acceleration is a_{g}=4.5 m/s^{2}, which is given by:

a_{g}=\frac{GM}{R^{2}} (2)

Isolating GM:

GM=a_{g}R^{2} (3)

Substituting (3) in (1):

V_{e}=\sqrt{\frac{2a_{g}R^{2}}{R}}=\sqrt{2a_{g}R} (4)

V_{e}=\sqrt{2(4.5 m/s^{2})(700(10)^{3} m)} (5)

V_{e}=2509.98 m/s (6) This is the escape velocity

b) In this part we will use the Conservation of mechanical energy principle:

E_{o}=E_{f} (7)

Being:

E_{o}=K_{o}+U_{o}=\frac{1}{2}m V^{2} - \frac{GMm}{R} (8)

E_{f}=K_{f}+U_{f}=0 - \frac{GMm}{R+h} (9)

Where:

E_{o} is the initial mechanical energy

E_{f} is the final mechanical energy

K_{o} is the initial kinetic energy

K_{f}=0 is the final kinetic energy

U_{o} is the initial gravitational potential energy

U_{f} is the final gravitational potential energy

m is the mass of the object

V=1510 m/s is the radial speed of the object

h is the distance above the surface of the object

Then:

\frac{1}{2}m V^{2} - \frac{GMm}{R}=- \frac{GMm}{R+h} (10)

Isolating h:

h=\frac{2 a_{g} R^{2}}{2a_{g}R-V^{2}}-R (11)

h=\frac{2 (4.5 m/s^{2}) (700(10)^{3} m)^{2}}{2(4.5 m/s^{2})(700(10)^{3} m)-(1510 m/s)^{2}}-700(10)^{3} m (11)

h=397042.215 m (12) This is the distance above the asteroid's surface

c) We will use the Conservation of mechanical energy principle again, but now the condition is that the object is dropped at a distance h=981.8 km=981.8(10)^{3} m. This means that at the begining the object only has gravitational potential energy and then it has kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy:

\frac{-GMm}{R+h}=\frac{-GMm}{R}+\frac{1}{2}mV^{2} (13)

Isolating V:

V=\sqrt{2a_{g} R(1-\frac{R}{R+h})} (14)

V=\sqrt{2(4.5 m/s^{2}) (700(10)^{3} m)(1-\frac{700(10)^{3} m}{700(10)^{3} m+981.8(10)^{3} m})} (15)

Finally:

V=1917.76 m/s

Read the scenario. A car travels 25 m/s forward for 10 s. Which option accurately identifies the measurements within the scenari
Phantasy [73]

Explanation:

It is given that,

A car travels 25 m/s forward for 10 s.

Solution,

For a vector, a quantity must have both magnitude as well as the direction. For a scalar, a quantity have only the magnitude. In this case, the car moves in forward direction.  This is the only difference between the vector and the scalar.

Out of given option,s the correct option is (c) "The measurement 25 m/s is the only vector quantity because it is a measurement of speed".

A 2 nC point charge is at the origin, and a second 5 nC point charge is on the x-axis at x = 8 m. Find the electric field (magni
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

The magnitude of  the electric field is 5.75 N/C towards positive x- axis.

Explanation:

Given that,

Point charge at origin = 2 nC

Second charge = 5 nC

Distance at x axis = 8 m

We need to calculate the electric field at the point x = 2 m

Using formula of electric field

E=\dfrac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{0}}(\dfrac{q_{1}}{r_{1}^2}+\dfrac{q_{2}}{r_{2}^2})

Put the value into the formula

E=9\times10^{9}\times(\dfrac{2\times10^{-9}}{2^2}+\dfrac{5\times10^{-9}}{(8-2)^2})

E=5.75\ N/C

The direction is toward positive x- axis.

Hence, The magnitude of  the electric field is 5.75 N/C towards positive x- axis.
