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.

When you take your 1900-kg car out for a spin, you go around a corner of radius 55 m with a speed of 15 m/s. The coefficient of
pentagon [3]

Answer:

7772.72N

Explanation:

When u draw your FBD, you realize you have 3 forces (ignore the force the car produces), gravity, normal force and static friction. You also realize that gravity and normal force are in our out of the page  (drawn with a frame of reference above the car). So that leaves you with static friction in the centripetal direction.

Now which direction is the static friction, assume that it is pointing inward so

Fc=Fs=mv²/r=1900*15²/55=427500/55=7772.72N

Since the car is not skidding we do not have kinetic friction so there can only be static friction. One reason we do not use μFn is because that is the formula for maximum static friction, and the problem does not state there is maximum static friction.

If you could shine a very powerful flashlight beam toward the Moon, estimate the diameter of the beam when it reaches the Moon.
grin007 [14]

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the Rayleigh Criterion (Angular resolution)criterion. This conceptos describes the ability of any image-forming device such as an optical or radio telescope, a microscope, a camera, or an eye, to distinguish small details of an object, thereby making it a major determinant of image resolution.  By definition is defined as:

\theta = 1.22\frac{\lambda}{d}

Where,

\lambda= Wavelength

d = Width of the slit

\theta= Angular resolution

Through the arc length we can find the radius, which would be given according to the length and angle previously described.

The radius of the beam on the moon is

r = l\theta

Relacing \theta

r = l(\frac{1.22\lambda}{d})

r = 1.22\frac{l\lambda}{d}

Replacing with our values we have that,

r = 1.22*(\frac{(384*10^3km)(\frac{1000m}{1km})(550*10^{-9}m)}{7*10^{{-2}}})

r = 3680.91m

Therefore the diameter of the beam on the moon is

d = 2r

d = 2 * (3690.91)

d = 7361.8285m

Hence, the diameter of the beam when it reaches the moon is 7361.82m

The parallel plates in a capacitor, with a plate area of 7.90 cm2 and an air-filled separation of 2.70 mm, are charged by a 7.90
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

A) 26V

Explanation:

(a) the potential difference between the plates

Initial capacitance can be calculated using below expresion

C1= A ε0/ d1

Where d1= distance between = 2.70 mm= 2.70× 10^-3 m

ε0= permittivity of space= 8.85× 10^-12 Fm^-1

A= area of the plate = 7.90 cm2 = 7.90 ×10^-4 m^2

If we substitute the values we

C1= A ε0/ d1

=( 7.90 ×10^-4 × 8.85× 10^-12 )/2.70× 10^-3

C1=2.589 ×10^-12 F= 2.59 pF

Initial charge can be determined using below expresion

q1= C1 × V1

V1=2.589 ×10^-12 F

V1= voltage=7.90 V

If we substitute we have

q1= 2.589 ×10^-12 × 7.90

q1= 20.45×10^-12C

20.45 pC

Final capacitance can be calculated as

C2= A ε0/ d2

d2=8.80 mm= /8.80× 10^-3

7.90 ×10^-4 × 8.85× 10^-12 )/8.80× 10^-3

C1=0.794 ×10^-12 F= 0.794 pF

Final charge= initial charge

q2=q1 (since the battery is disconnected)

q2=q1= 20.45 pC

Final potential difference

V2= q/C2

= 20.45/0.794

= 26V
