Two positive charges are fixed a distance apart.the sun of their charges is Qt.what charge must each have in order to maximise t

romanna [79]

Answer:

Both charges must have the same charge, Qt/2.

Explanation:

Let the two charges have charge Q1 and Q2, respectively.

Use Coulombs's Law to find an expression for the force between the two charges.

$F = k_e\frac{Q_1Q_2}{r^2}$ , where

Ke is Coulomb's contant and

r is the distance between the charges.

We know from the question that

Q1 + Q2 = Qt

So,

Q2 = Qt - Q1

$F = k_e\frac{Q_1(Q_t - Q_1)}{r^2}$

Simplify to obtain,

$F = \frac{k_e}{r^2} (Q_tQ_1 - Q_1^2)$

In order to find the value of Q1 for which F is the maximum, we will use the optimization technique of calculus.

Differentiate F with respect to Q1,

$\frac{dF}{dQ_1} = \frac{k_e}{r^2} (Q_t - 2Q_1)$

Equate the differential to 0, to obtain the value of Q1 for which F is the maximum.

$\frac{k_e}{r^2} (Q_t - 2Q_1) = 0\\Q_t - 2Q_1 = 0\\2Q_1 = Q_t\\Q1 = \frac{Q_t}{2}$

It follows that

$Q_2 = \frac{Q_t}{2}$ .

In which situation is the gravitational force between two objects hard to detect? (Options)

svlad2 [7]

A - the objects are too small

GRAVITATIONAL FORCE IS EXPERIENCED BY ALL OBJECTS IN THE UNIVERSE ALL THE TIME. BUT THE ORDINARY OBJECTS YOU SEE EVERY DAY HAVE MASSES SO SMALL THAT THEIR ATTRACTION TOWARD EACH OTHER IS HARD TO DETECT. -https://www.ftsd.org/cms/lib6/MT01001165/Centricity/ModuleInstance/630/CHAPTER_2_NOTES_FOR_EIGHTH_GRADE_PHYSICAL_SCIENCE.pdf

Can the mass of an object is measured by a scale?

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer: In physics, mass is not the same as weight, even though mass is often determined by measuring the object's weight using a spring scale, rather than balance scale comparing it directly with known masses.
