A charge of 35.0 μC is placed on conducting sphere A of radius 8.00 cm. Another identical conducting sphere B (radius 8.00 cm) c

arrying 65.0 uC of charge is placed such that its center is 40.0 cm away from the center of the first sphere (A). a. If the two conducting spheres are now connected by a thin conducting wire, what are the new charges on the spheres? b. Now, the conducting wire is cut and the spheres are released from rest. What are their speeds when they are far apart (infinite distance away) from each other? Take the mass of each conductor to be 80.0 grams. Ignore gravity. Assume that the potential is zero at infinity.

Answer:

a) 50μC

b) 37.45 m/s

Explanation:

a) If the spheres are connected the charge in both spheres tends to be equal. This because is the situation of minimum energy.

Thus, you have:

Q_T=35\mu C+65\mu C=100\mu C\\\\Q_s=\frac{Q_T}{2}=50\mu C

Hence, each sphere has a charge of 50μC.

b) You use the fact that the total work done by the electric force is equal to the change in the kinetic energy of the sphere. Then, you use the following equations:

\Delta W=\Delta K\\\\\int_{0.4}^\infty Fdr=\frac{1}{2}m[v^2-v_o^2]\\\\F=k\frac{Q^2}{r^2}\\\\v_o=0m/s\\\\m=0.08kg\\\\kQ^2\int_{0.4}^{\infty} \frac{dr}{r^2}=kQ^2[-\frac{1}{r}]_{0.4}^{\infty}=\frac{kQ^2}{0.4m}=\frac{(8.98*10^9Nm^2/C^2)(50*10^{-6}C)^2}{0.4m}\\\\kQ^2\int_{0.4}^{\infty} \frac{dr}{r^2}=56.125J

where you have used the Coulomb constant = 8.98*10^9 Nm^2/C^2

Next, you equal the total work to the change in K:

\frac{1}{2}mv^2=56.125J\\\\v=\sqrt{\frac{2(56.125J)}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(56.125J)}{0.08kg}}=37.45\frac{m}{s}

hence, the speed of the spheres is 37.45 m/s

A Capacitor is a circuit component that stores energy and can be charged when current flows through it. A current of 3A flows th
ddd [48]

Answer:

8\mu C

Explanation:

t = Time taken = 2\mu s

i = Current = 3 A

q(0) = Initial charge = 2\mu C

Charge is given by

q=\int_0^t idt+q(0)\\\Rightarrow q=\int_0^{2\mu s} 3dt+2\mu C\\\Rightarrow q=3(2\mu s-0)+2\mu C\\\Rightarrow q=6\mu C+2\mu C\\\Rightarrow q=8\mu C

The magnitude of the net electric charge of the capacitor is 8\mu C

A BMX bicycle rider takes off from a ramp at a point 2.4 m above the ground. The ramp is angled at 40 degrees from the horizonta
adoni [48]

Answer:

The BMX lands 5.4 m from the end of the ramp.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The position of the BMX is given by the position vector "r":

r = (x0 + v0 · t · cos α, y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²)

Where:

r = position vector at time t

x0 = initial horizontal position

v0 = initial velocity

α = jumping angle

y0 = initial vertical position

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive)

Please, see the attached graphic for a better understanding of the situation. At final time, when the bicycle reaches the ground, the vector position will be "r final" (see figure). The y-component of the vector "r final" is - 2.4 m (placing the origin of the frame of reference at the jumping point). With that information, we can use the equation of the y-component of the vector "r" (see above) to calculate the time of flight. With that time, we can then obtain the x-component (rx in the figure) of the vector "r final". Then:

y = y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²

-2.4 m = 0 m + 5.9 m/s · t · sin 40° - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

0 = -4.9 m/s² · t² + 5.9 m/s · t · sin 40° + 2.4 m

Solving the quadratic equation:

t = 1.2 s

Now, we can calculate the x-component of the vector "r final" that is the horizontal distance traveled by the bicycle:

x = x0 + v0 · t · cos α

x = 0 m + 5.9 m/s · 1.2 s · cos 40°

x = 5.4 m

The BMX lands 5.4 m from the end of the ramp.

Have a nice day!
