Answer:

q_end = q / 4  

Explanation:

Since the balls are in insulating barrels, it has no charge exchange with the earth, so it maintains its initial charge.

 

When the ball a touches the ball b and since the two are metallic the charge is distributed over the entire surface, by separating the two spheres that are of the same radius, the load was distributed between the two,

           

              q_end = q₀ / 2

              q_end = (q / 2) / 2

              q_end = q / 4

This is the charge on each ball.

If we keep touching the balls nothing else happens because the charges are already equal in both.

51.Shoveling snow can be extremely taxing because the arms have such a low efficiency in this activity. Suppose a person shoveli
Komok [63]

Complete question is;

Shoveling snow can be extremely taxing since the arms have such a low efficiency in this activity. Suppose a person shoveling a sidewalk metabolizes food at the rate of 800 W. (The efficiency of a person shoveling is 3%.)

(a) What is her useful power output? (b) How long will it take her to lift 3000 kg of snow 1.20 m? (This could be the amount of heavy snow on 20 m of footpath.) (c) How much waste heat transfer in kilojoules will she generate in the process?

Answer:

A) P_out = 24 W

B) t = 1470 s

C) Q = 1140.72 KJ

Explanation:

We are given;

Input Power; P_in = 800 W

Efficiency; η = 3% = 0.03

A) Formula for efficiency is;

η = P_out/P_in

Making P_out the subject, we have;

P_out = η•P_in

P_out = 0.03 × 800

P_out = 24 W

B) We know that;

Power = work done/time taken

Thus;

P_out = mgh/t

We are given;

m = 3000 kg

h = 1.20 m

Thus, time is;

t = (3000 × 9.8 × 1.2)/24

t = 1470 s

C) amount of heat wasted is calculated from;

Q = (P_in - P_out)t

Q = (800 - 24) × 1470

Q = 1,140,720 J

Q = 1140.72 KJ
