Consider three identical metal spheres, A, B, and C. Sphere A carries a charge of +6q. Sphere B carries a charge of -q. Sphere C

carries no net charge. Spheres A and B are touched together and then separated. Sphere C is then touched to sphere A and separated from it. Lastly, sphere C is touched to sphere B and separated from it. (a) What is the ratio of the final charge on sphere C to q? What is the ratio of the final total charge on the three spheres to q (b) before they are allowed to touch each other and (c) after they have touched?

Answer:

Part a)

Final charge on C : q = 1.875

Part b)

Ratio for A = 6 : 1.25

Ratio for B = -1 : 1.875

Ratio for C = 0

Explanation:

When two identical metal sphere are connected together then the charge on them will get equally divided on both after connecting them by conducting wire

So here we have

q_A = + 6q

q_B = -q

q_c = 0

Step 1: We connected A and B and then separate them

so we have

q_A' = q_B' = 2.5q

Step 2: We connected A and C and then separate them

so we have

q_A'' = q_c' = 1.25q

Step 3: We connected B and C and then separate them

so we have

q_c'' = q_b'' = 1.875q

A 51-kg woman runs up a vertical flight of stairs in 5.0 s. Her net upward displacement is 5.0 m. Approximately, what average po
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

The average power the woman exerts is 0.5 kW

Explanation:

We note that power, P = The rate at which work is done = Work/Time

Work = Energy

The total work done is the potential energy gained which is the energy due to vertical displacement

Given that the vertical displacement = 5.0 m, we have

Total work done = Potential energy gained = Mass, m × Acceleration due to gravity, g × Vertical height, h

m = 51 kg

g = Constant = 9.81 m/s²

h = 5.0 m

Also, time, t = 5.0 s

Total work done = 51 kg × 9.81 m/s²× 5 m = 2501.55 kg·m²/s² = 2501.55 J

P = 2501.55 J/(5 s) = 500.31 J/s = 500.31 W ≈ 500 W = 0.5 kW.

A magnesium oxide component must not fail when a tensile stress of 10.5 MPa is applied. Determine the maximum allowable surface
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

Maximum permitted surface crack length is 1.29 mm

Explanation:

As per the question:

Tensile stress, \sigma = 10.5\ MPa = 10.5\times 10^{6}\ Pa

Surface energy of magnesium oxide, SE = 1.0\ J/m^{2}

Modulus of elasticity of the material, E = 225 GPa = 225\times 10^{9}\ Pa

Now,

To calculate the maximum allowable surface crack length:

L = \frac{2E\times SE}{\sigma^{2}\pi }

L = \frac{2\times 225\times 10^{9}\times 1.0}{10.5\times 10^{6}\times \pi } = 1.29\times 10^{- 3}\ m = 1.29\ mm

Suppose a star the size of our Sun, but of mass 8.0 times as great, were rotating at a speed of 1.0 revolution every 12 days. If
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
You have two different phases of the star: 1 the Sun-like phase and 2 the neutron star phase. The given quantities are:
r₁ = r(Sun) = 695700km
m₁ = 8 Msun
f₁ = 1 rev / 12 days
m₂ = \frac{1}{4}·m₁

First thing, you need to transform the frequency in units of revolution/seconds
f₁ = 1 rev / (12·24·60·60) = 1 rev / 1036800 s

and then into angular velocity through the formula
ω₁ = 2πf = 6.06E-6 rad/s

a) If the angular momentum stays the same: L₁ = L₂
where L = I·ω    
and the momentum of inertia I is given by I = m·r²

Therefore, substituting we have:
m₁·r₁²·ω₁ = m₂·r₂²·ω₂

And we can find:

ω₂ = <span>\frac{r1²w1}{0.25r2²}</span>

(remember m₂=\frac{1}{4}·m₁ so we can cancel out the two m₁)

We obtain:
ω₂ = (<span>695700²·6.06E-6)/(0.25·12²) = 81473.1 rad/s

we can transform it back into frequency:
</span>f₂ = ω₂/2<span>π = 1 rev / 12967 s = 7.7e-5 rev/s

b) If L</span>₂ = \frac{1}{4}·L₁
we do expect an angular velocity 4 times smaller.
Using the same formulas as above:

\frac{1}{4}·m₁·r₁²·ω₁ = \frac{1}{4}·m₁·r₂²·ω₂

ω₂ = <span>\frac{r1²w1}{r2²} =
     = </span><span>[(695700²·6.06E-6)(12²) = 20368 rad/s

</span>and 

f₂ = 1 rev / 3242 s = 3.08e-4 rev/s
