Two identical conducting spheres, fixed in place, attract each other with an electrostatic force of -0.2589 N when separated by

50 cm, center-to-center. The spheres are then connected by a thin conducting wire. When the wire is removed, the spheres repel each other with an electrostatic force of 0.3456 N. What were the initial charges on the spheres? Since one is negative and you cannot tell which is positive or negative, there are two solutions. Take the absolute value of the charges and enter the smaller value here. Enter the larger value here.

Answer:

q_1 = 7.19 \times 10^{-6} C

q_2 = -1.0 \times 10^{-6} C

Explanation:

Let the initial charge on the two spheres are

q_1, -q_2

now we know that the force between them is given as

F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

0.2589 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{0.5^2}

q_1q_2 = 7.19 \times 10^{-12}

now when two spheres are connected then final charge on them is given as

q = \frac{q_1 - q_2}{2}

now the force between them is given as

0.3456 = \frac{k(q_1 - q_2)^2}{4(0.5)^2}

now we have

q_1 - q_2 = 6.19 \times 10^{-6}

So by solving above two equations we have

q_1 = 7.19 \times 10^{-6} C

q_2 = -1.0 \times 10^{-6} C

A Parachutist with a camera, with descending at a speed of 12.5m/s, releases, the camera at an altitude of 64.3m. What is the ma
jonny [76]

Given :

Initial velocity, u = 12.5 m/s.

Height of camera, h = 64.3 m.

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s².

To Find :

How long does it take the camera to reach the ground.

Solution :

By equation of motion :

h = ut+\dfrac{gt^2}{2}

Putting all given values, we get :

12.5t+\dfrac{9.8t^2}{2}=64.3\\\\4.9t^2+12.5t=64.3

t = 2.56  and t = −5.116.

Since, time cannot be negative.

t = 2.56 s.

Therefore, time taken is 2.56 s.

Hence, this is the required solution.

If an object is not accelerating, how many<br> forces act on it?
poizon [28]

Answer:

If there are no forces acting upon the object, then there is no acceleration. If there is no acceleration, then the object will move with a constant velocity.
