Assuming that two 1 kg balls have equal magnitude charges, how much net charge would each need to have in order for the electric

force between the balls to have the same magnitude as the gravitational force betwee n the balls? If you want the balls to remain fixed in place without moving, should they have the same sign of charge or opposite signs?

Answer:

q=8.6 \times 10^{-11} C

Explanation:

mass of each ball, m = 1 kg

Let the charge on each ball is q.

If the balls remains fix then the gravitational force is balanced by the electrostatic force between them and as the gravitational force is attractive in nature then the electrostatic force should be repulsive in nature.

The charges should be of same sign to get the electrostatic force is repulsive in nature.

Let the distance between the two balls is d.

The electrostatic force between them is given by

F_{e}=\frac{kq^{2}}{d^{2}}    ... (1)

The gravitational force between the two balls is given by

F_{g}=\frac{Gm^{2}}{d^{2}}    ... (2)

according to the question, gravitational force is equal to the electrostatic force, so by equation (1) and (2) ,we get

\frac{kq^{2}}{d^{2}}=\frac{Gm^{2}}{d^{2}}

kq^{2}=Gm^{2}

9 \times 10^{9}q^{2}=6.67 \times 10^{-11}\times 1\times 1

q^{2}=7.41 \times 10^{-21}

q=8.6 \times 10^{-11} C

Thus, the charge on each ball is q=8.6 \times 10^{-11} C

Describe the sequence of mechanical energy events that lets you hear the
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

Starting from the beginning.

There is a radio signal that is received by the radio.

The radio interprets the signal and produces a current in response to it.

That current goes to a membrane that oscillates producing sound, the oscillation of the membrane is the first mechanical energy event here.

These oscillations can travel in material mediums, for example, the air. Then there is a production of waves (soundwaves) that travel in the air (second event).

Those waves now hit the wall that separates you and your neighbor, as the wall is made of a material, the soundwaves can travel through it, but they will be dispersed (a part of the waves rebounds on the wall, and another part is dissipated as the wave travels through the wall), there is also a transmitted part of the wave, that is now in your house. (this change of medium will be the third event). Now only the lower frequencies survive, this is why the sound is "muffled".

Those remaining frequencies now travel in your house, and when they reach your ear, your ear sends a signal to your brain and your brain interprets them as sound. The wave interacting with your ear will be the fourth and last mechanical energy event.

A 1425 kg truck driving at 13.0 m/s collides elastically with a stationary 1175 kg car. If the car is traveling 14.25 m/s just a
TEA [102]

Answer:

1.25 m/s

Explanation:

m1v1+m2v2=m1v1f+m2v2f

(1425*13)+(1175*0)=(1425*v1f)+(1175*14.25)

18525+0=1425(v1f)+16743.75

1781.25=1425(v1f)

v1f=1.25 m/s

The distance between two successive peaks on adjacent waves is its
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

Wavelength

Explanation:

Wavelength is the distance between two corresponding consecutive phases of a waveform. It is usually represented by λ in the mathematical expressions.

A continuous propagating wave repeats its wavelength over the distance.

A wave has crest and trough with respect to time and space.

Wave is defined as a disturbance of any parameter repeated in a cyclic manner over the given time.

What relationship do you see between a star colour and temperature
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Stars emit colors of many different wavelengths, but the wavelength of light where a star's emission is concentrated is related to the star's temperature - the hotter the star, the more blue it is; the cooler the star, the more red it is

Prove that s=ut+½at²​
katrin2010 [14]

Explanation:

Distance travelled = Area under the line

= ut + ½ (v-u)t

Acceleration (a) = (v-u)/t and so (v-u) = at

Therefore,

Distance travelled (s) = ut + ½ (v-u)t = ut + ½ (at)t = ut + ½ at²

Thus,proved.
