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

What is Newton's second law of motion?

<h2><u>A</u><u>n</u><u>s</u><u>w</u><u>e</u><u>r</u>:-</h2>

Newton's second law of motion states that the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and the direction of change of momentum takes place towards direction of applied force.

<h3>\bulletWhat do you come to know from Newton's second law of motion?</h3>

1. Concept of Momentum.

2. Measurement of Force.

This time particle A starts from rest and accelerates to the right at 65.5 cm/s
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

t = 4 s

Explanation:

As we know that the particle A starts from Rest with constant acceleration

So the distance moved by the particle in given time "t"

d = v_i t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

d = 0 + \frac{1}{2}(65.5)t^2

d_1 = 32.75 t^2 cm

Now we know that B moves with constant speed so in the same time B will move to another distance

d_2 = 44 \times t

now we know that B is already 349 cm down the track

so if A and B will meet after time "t"

then in that case

d_1 = 349 + d_2

32.75 t^2 = 349 + 44 t

on solving above kinematics equation we have

t = 4 s

Which of the statements best describes density?
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: letter D.

Explanation:

a.The mass that a mole of substance has, measured in grams per mole.  Density is not measure in moles, so this is not the correct answer.

b.The amount of substance dissolved in a liquid, measured in moles per liter.  The substance dissolved in a liquid must be measure in grams not in moles, so this answer is incorrect.

c.The mass of substance dissolved in a liquid, measured in grams per milliliter.  I think that this definition is correct but is incomple, so this answer is wrong.

d.The ratio of a substance's mass to its volume, measured in grams per milliliter and also equivalent to grams per cubic centimeter. This is the right description to density, so this is the correct answer.

In a crash test, a truck with mass 2100 kg traveling at 22 m/s smashes head-on into a concrete wall without rebounding. The fron
slega [8]

Answer:

a)   v_average = 11 m / s, b)  t = 0.0627 s

, c)    F = 7.37 10⁵ N

, d)   F / W = 35.8

Explanation:

a) truck speed can be found with kinematics

         v² = v₀² - 2 a x

The fine speed zeroes them

           a = v₀² / 2x

           a = 22²/2 0.69

           a = 350.72 m / s²

The average speed is

           v_average = (v + v₀) / 2

           v_average = (22 + 0) / 2

           v_average = 11 m / s

b) The average time

          v = v₀ - a t

          t = v₀ / a

          t = 22 / 350.72

          t = 0.0627 s

c) The force can be found with Newton's second law

             F = m a

             F = 2100 350.72

             F = 7.37 10⁵ N

.d) the ratio of this force to weight

             F / W = 7.37 10⁵ / (2100 9.8)

             F / W = 35.8

.e) Several approaches will be made:

- the resistance of air and tires is neglected

- It is despised that the force is not constant in time

- Depreciation of materials deformation during the crash
