An unstrained horizontal spring has a length of 0.39 m and a spring constant of 350 N/m. Two small charged objects are attached

to this spring, one at each end. The charges on the objects have equal magnitudes. Because of these charges, the spring stretches by 0.022 m relative to its unstrained length. Determine (a) the possible algebraic signs and (b) the magnitude of the charges.

Answer:

A) The possible algebraic signs will either be both positive (+) or both negative (-) charged since the 2 objects are repelling each other to stretch the string.

B) Magnitude of charges = 1.206 × 10^(-6) C

Explanation:

We are given;

Spring constant;k = 350 N/m

Spring length;L = 0.39 m

Stretched length of spring;x = 0.022 m

A) The spring stretches by 0.022m. Therefore, the total force is (350 × 0.022) N = 7.7N. The charged objects will either be both positive (+) or both negative (-) charged since they are repelling each other to stretch the string.

B) Force (F) required to stretch spring is given by the formula;

F = kx

Thus:

F = (350 × 0.022)

F = 7.7 N

Now, if we assume point charges, then the distance (r) between them will be given as:

r = (0.39 + 0.022) = 0.412 m

Coulomb's Law has a formula:

F = k(q1×q2)/r²

where k is coulomb's constant = 8.99 × 10^(9) Nm²/C²

Making q1 × q2 the subject, we have;

(q1 × q2) = Fr²/k = 7.7 × 0.412²/(8.99 × 10^(9))

(q1 × q2) = 14.54 × 10^(-11) C

We are told that both charges are equal, thus; |q1| = |q2|

So;

q = √(14.54 × 10^(-11)) = 1.206 × 10^(-6) C

If one light bulb burns out in a string of lights, and the rest stay lit, it is reasonable to assume that the lights are wired i
Blizzard [7]
The lights are wired in PARALLEL.

In fact, when the lights are connected in parallel, they are connected on separate branches to the source of voltage, so if one light bulb burns out, the other lights continue to work because the current continues to flow in the other branches of the circuit.

Vice-versa, if the light bulbs are connected in series, they are on the same branch This means that if one of them burns out, the circuit is open in that point, so the current cannot flow anymore and the other light bulbs turn off as well.

Ali mixes 20g of Sodium Chloride in 100g of water at 15 Degree °C. Calculate the mass of the solution
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

The mass of the solution is 120 g.

Explanation:

The mass of the solution is given by:

m_{sol} = m_{1} + m_{2}

Where:

m_{sol}: is the mass of the solution

m_{1}: is the mass of the solvent

m_{2}: is the mass of the solute

In the solution, the solvent is the majority compound (in mass) and the solute is the minority (in mass), so the solvent is the water and the solute is sodium chloride.          

Hence, the mass of the solution is:

m_{sol} = m_{1} + m_{2} = 100 g + 20 g = 120 g  

I hope it helps you!
