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 ball is projected upward at time t = 0.00 s from a point on a roof 70 m above the ground. The ball rises, then falls and strik

grin007 [14]

Answer: 17.68 s

Explanation:

This problem is a good example of Vertical motion, where the main equation for this situation is:

$y=y_{o}+V_{o}t-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$ (1)

Where:

$y=0$ is the height of the ball when it hits the ground

$y_{o}=70 m$ is the initial height of the ball

$V_{o}=82m/s$ is the initial velocity of the ball

$t$ is the time when the ball strikes the ground

$g=9.8m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due to gravity

Having this clear, let's find $t$ from (1):

$0=70m+(82m/s)t-\frac{1}{2}(9.8m/s^{2})t^{2}$ (2)

Rewritting (2):

$-\frac{1}{2}(9.8m/s^{2})t^{2}+(82m/s)t+70m=0$ (3)

This is a quadratic equation (also called equation of the second degree) of the form $at^{2}+bt+c=0$ , which can be solved with the following formula:

$t=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$ (4)

Where:

$a=-\frac{1}{2}(9.8m/s^{2}$

$b=82m/s$

$c=70m$

Substituting the known values:

$t=\frac{-82 \pm \sqrt{82^{2}-4(-\frac{1}{2}(9.8)(70)}}{2a}$ (5)

Solving (5) we find the positive result is:

$t=17.68 s$

11) A sled is initially given a shove up a frictionless 35º incline. It reaches a maximum height of 2.5

Andrej [43]

Answer:

7 m/s

Explanation:

To solve this problem you must use the conservation of energy.

$K1 +U1=K2+U2$

That math speak for, initial kinetic energy plus initial potential energy equals final kinetic energy plus final potential energy.

The initial PE (potential energy) is 0 because it hasn't been raised in the air yet. The final KE (kinetic energy) is 0 because it isn't moving. This gives the following:

$KE1= \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}}$

$PE2=mgh$

K1=U2

$\frac{1}{2} mv^{2} =mgh$

Solve for v

$v=\sqrt{2gh}$

Input known values and you get 7 m/s.

Choose what colors are absorbed when white light hits a red apple. (Pick all that apply.)

astra-53 [7]

A red apple absorbs all colors of visible light except red, so red light
is the only light left to bounce off of the apple toward our eyes.
(This is a big part of the reason that we call it a "red" apple.)

Here's how the various items on the list make out when they hit the apple:

<span>Red . . . . . reflected
Orange . . absorbed
Yellow . . . </span><span><span>absorbed
</span>Green . </span><span><span>. . absorbed
</span>Blue . . </span><span><span>. . absorbed
</span>Violet .</span><span> . . absorbed</span>
<span>Black . . . no light; not a color
White . . . has all colors in it</span>

Hello,help me with this out please i need it hurry but please ensure your answer is correct..I attach here with my question.

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

.409 N

Explanation:

For this to balance, the moments around the fulcrum must sum to zero.

On the left you have .21 ( is that down? I will assume it is)

Counterclockwise moments :

.21 * 40 + 1.0 * 20

Clockwise moments :

.5 * 20 + F * 45

these moments must equal each other

.21*40 + 1 *20 = .5 * 20 + F * 45

F = .409 N
