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

The two cyclists travel at the same speed on level ground. They approach a low hill and decide to coast up instead of hard pedal
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

  • <u>Option-(E): </u>Bike B; its wheels have a smaller moment of inertia.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              

Explanation:

  • The two cyclists travel at the same speed on level ground, as they approach a low hill and decide to coast up instead of hard pedaling. At the top of the hill, as bike "B" will have a larger speed, as compared to the bike "A".Due, to the effect of having smaller moment of inertia, I=m×r².
  • Having no friction nor air resistance, and all the wheels roll on the ground without slipping. While, the B have larger speed,v due to the fact that bike "B" will have a larger speed,"v" as compared to the bike "A".

In the middle of a thunderstorm, a lightning bolt flashes. It takes Roberto 5 seconds to
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

 v = 344.1 m / s    

 d = 1720.5 m

Explanation:

For this problem we must calculate the speed of sound in air at 22ºC

           v = 331 RA (1+ T / 273)

we calculate

           v = 331 RA (1 + 22/273)

           v = 344.1 m / s

the speed of the wave is constant,

           v = d / t

           d = v t

we calculate

           d = 344.1   5

           d = 1720.5 m
