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

Define moment of momentum. at which condition is it's magnitude zero?​
ololo11 [35]

Let's start with the concept of momentum. What is it? Linear momentum in physics is mathematically written as a product of mass and velocity of an object. Now let us suppose a body of mass m is moving in an inertial frame of reference with velocity v. Consider the fact that no external force is acting on the system. The momentum of this body is given by mv, where m is the mass and v is its velocity. In case of simple real world problems not delving into the realms of relativity, mass is a conserved quantity and it cannot be zero. Hence the velocity of the body must be zero and hence the momentum.

However, photons are considered to have a rest mass zero.

However note the point carefully "rest mass". A body in motion cannot have mass to be zero.

A bat can detect small objects, such as an insect, whose size is approximately equal to one wavelength of the sound the bat make
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

6.136 mm

Explanation:

given,

frequency emitted by the bat = 5.59 x 10⁴ Hz

speed of sound = 343 m/s

smallest insect bat can hear  will be equal to the wavelength  of the sound the bat make.

\lambda = \dfrac{v}{f}

\lambda = \dfrac{343}{5.59\times 10^4}

\lambda = 6.136\times 10^{-3}}

λ = 6.136 mm

so, the smallest size of insect that bat can hear is equal to 6.136 mm

A car with a mass of 1.1 × 103 kilograms hits a stationary truck with a mass of 2.3 × 103 kilograms from the rear end. The initi
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

The velocity of the truck after this elastic collision is 15.7 m/s            

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the car, m_1=1.1\times 10^3\ kg

Mass of the truck, m_2=2.3\times 10^3\ kg

Initial velocity of the car, u_1=22\ m/s

Initial velocity of the truck, u₂ = 0

After the collision the velocity of the car is, v₁ = -11 m/s

Let v₂ is the velocity of the truck after this elastic collision. Using the conservation of momentum as :

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2

1.1\times 10^3\times 22+0=1.1\times 10^3\times (11)+2.3\times 10^3\times v_2    

v_2=15.7\ m/s

So, the velocity of the truck after this elastic collision is 15.7 m/s. Hence, the correct option is (c).
