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 car is traveling at a velocity of 22 m/s when the driver puts on the brakes
Brums [2.3K]

The car’s velocity at the end of this distance is <em>18.17 m/s.</em>

Given the following data:

  • Initial velocity, U = 22 m/s
  • Deceleration, d = 1.4 m/s^2
  • Distance, S = 110 meters

To find the car’s velocity at the end of this distance, we would use the third equation of motion;

Mathematically, the third equation of motion is calculated by using the formula;

V^2 = U^2 + 2dS

Substituting the values into the formula, we have;

V^2 = 22 + 2(1.4)(110)\\\\V^2 = 22 + 308\\\\V^2 = 330\\\\V^2 = \sqrt{330}

<em>Final velocity, V = 18.17 m/s</em>

Therefore, the car’s velocity at the end of this distance is <em>18.17 m/s.</em>

Can you please tell me what this is
Anna [14]

Answer:

200000 J

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (m) of roller coaster = 1000 Kg

Velocity (v) of roller coaster = 20 m/s

Kinetic energy (KE) =?

Kinetic energy is simply defined as the energy possess by an object in motion. Mathematically, it can be expressed as:

KE = ½mv²

Where

KE => is the kinetic energy.

m =>is the mass of the object

V => it the velocity of the object.

With the above formula, we can obtain the kinetic energy of the roller coaster as follow:

Mass (m) of roller coaster = 1000 Kg

Velocity (v) of roller coaster = 20 m/s

Kinetic energy (KE) =?

KE = ½mv²

KE = ½ × 1000 × 20²

KE = 500 × 400

KE = 200000 J

Therefore, the kinetic energy of the roller coaster is 200000 J.

A soccer player kicks a soccer ball initially at rest setting it in motion at a velocity of 30 m/s. If the ball has a mass of 0.
Alchen [17]

Answer:

 F= 600 N

Explanation:

Given that

Initial velocity ,u= 0 m/s

Final velocity ,v= 30 m/s

mass ,m = 0.5 kg

time ,t= 0.025 s

The change in the linear momentum is given as

ΔP= m (v - u)

ΔP= 0.5 ( 30 - 0 ) kg.m/s

ΔP= 15 kg.m/s

We know that from second law of Newtons

F=\dfrac{dP}{dt}

F=\dfrac{\Delta P}{t}

Now by putting the values

F=\dfrac{15}{0.025}\ N

F= 600 N

What is (3.25 x 10^5) + (7.5 x 10^4)?
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

400000

Explanation:

So first solve one part:

(3.25 * 10^5)

(3.25 * 100,000)

= 325000

Then solve the next part:

(7.5 * 10^4)

(7.5 * 10000)

= 75000

Now lastly, add the two answers:

325000 + 75000 = 400000

Therefore,

(3.25 x 10^5) + (7.5 x 10^4) = 400000
