Two small spherical insulators separated by 2.5 cm, which is much greater than either of their diameters. Both carry positive ch

arge, one +60.0 microCoulombs and the other +6.66 microCoulombs. A third positive charge remains at rest between the two spheres and along the line joining them. What is the position of this charged sphere?

Answer:

1.875 cm from 60 microcoulomb charge.

Explanation:

Let the third charge be Q. Let it be put at x distance from 60 micro coulomb charge for balance.

Force on this charge due to first charge

= \frac{k\times60\times10^{-6}Q}{x^2}

Force on this charge due to second charge

= \frac{k\times6.66\times10^{-6}Q}{(2.5-x)^2}

Since both these forces are equal \frac{k\times60\times10^{-6}Q}{x^2}=\frac{k\times6.66\times10^{-6}Q}{(2.5-x)^2}

\frac{60}{6.66} = \frac{x^2}{(2.5-x)^2}\frac{x}{2.5 -x} = \frac{3}{1}

x = 1.875

1.875 cm from 60 microcoulomb charge.

An object is traveling on a circle with a radius of 6 feet. If in 80 seconds a central angle of 9/4 radians is swept out, then f
trapecia [35]

Answer:

The angular speed of the object is 0.0281 rad/s

The linear speed of the object is 0.169 ft/s

Explanation:

Given;

radius of the circle, r = 6 ft

time of motion of the object around the circle, t = 80 s

central angle formed by the object during the motion, θ = 9/4 rad = 2.25 rad

The angular speed of the object is calculated as;

\omega = \frac{\theta }{t} = \frac{2.25 \ rad}{80 \ s} = 0.0281 \ rad/s

The linear speed of the object is calculated as;

v = ωr

v = 0.0281 rad/s   x    6ft

v = 0.169 ft/s

In the simplified version of Kepler's third law, P 2 = a3, the units of the orbital period P and the semimajor axis a of the ell
Orlov [11]

Answer:

The units of the orbital period P is <em>years </em> and the units of the semimajor axis a is <em>astronomical units</em>.

Explanation:

P² = a³ is the simplified version of Kepler's third law which governs the orbital motion of large bodies that orbit around a star. The orbit of each planet is an ellipse with the star at the focal point.

Therefore, if you square the year of each planet and divide it by the distance that it is from the star, you will get the same number for all the other planets.

Thus, the units of the orbital period P is <em>years </em> and the units of the semimajor axis a is <em>astronomical units</em>.

If Sarah melts 10g of tin. What mass of melted tin would she have at the end of the experiment?​
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

10g

Explanation:

As the Law of Conservation of Mass states that " Mass can neither be created nor be destroyed in a chemical reaction".

Though melting of tin isn't a chemical change, the same logic is applied here...

Hence,

The mass of tin will be 10 g itself...
