Because the idea that the ground that we live, stand, and build on is actually moving beneath us blew the minds of scientists.

Two identical light springs with spring constant k3 are now individually hung vertically from the ceiling and attached at each e
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

 Keq = 2k₃

Explanation:

We can solve this exercise using Newton's second one

                F = m a

Where F is the eleatic force of the spring F = - k x

Since we have two springs, they are parallel or they are stretched the same distance by the object and the response force Fe is the same for the spring age due to having the same displacement

          F + F = m a

         k₃ x + k₃ x = m a

         a = 2k₃  x / m

To find the effective force constant, suppose we change this spring to what creates the cuddly displacement

       Keq = 2k₃

A 2.0 m × 4.0 m flat carpet acquires a uniformly distributed charge of −10 μC after you and your friends walk across it several
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

The  charge on the dust particle is  q_d  = 6.94 *10^{-13} \  C

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The length is  l = 2.0 \ m

    The width is  w = 4.0 \ m

   The charge is  q =  -10\mu C= -10*10^{-6} \ C

    The mass suspended in mid-air is m_a =  5.0 \mu g =  5.0 *10^{-6} \ g =  5.0 *10^{-9} \  kg

   

Generally the electric field on the carpet is mathematically represented as

           E =  \frac{q}{ 2 *  A  *  \epsilon _o}

Where \epsilon _o is the permittivity of free space with value \epsilon_o = 8.85*10^{-12}  \ \  m^{-3} \cdot kg^{-1}\cdot  s^4 \cdot A^2

substituting values

           E =  \frac{-10*10^{-6}}{ 2 *  (2 * 4 )  *  8.85*10^{-12}}

           E = -70621.5 \  N/C

Generally the electric force keeping the dust particle on the air  equal to the force of gravity acting on the particles

        F__{E}} =  F__{G}}

=>     q_d *  E  =  m * g

=>      q_d  =  \frac{m * g}{E}

=>      q_d  =  \frac{5.0 *10^{-9} * 9.8}{70621.5}

=>     q_d  = 6.94 *10^{-13} \  C
