Blocks A and B are identical metal blocks. Initially block A is neutral, and block B has a net charge of 7.0 nC. Using insulatin

g handles, the blocks are moved so they touch each other. After touching for a few seconds, the blocks are separated (again using insulating handles). What is the final charge of block A?

Answer:

Block A will have a final charge of 3.5nC.

Explanation:

This is because at the point of contact with Block B, which is electrically positive, the electrons in Block A will be attracted to the excess 'unpaired' protons in block B. Hence, the electrons will flow into Block B causing unpaired protons to remain in Block A.

This process is called Charging by Conduction.

This charging process will continue until the charges are evenly distributed between both objects.

In case you're wondering, "<em>how's all this possible within a few seconds</em>?", remember that electrons travel very fast and so, this process is a rather rapid one.

Answer:

3.5 nC

Explanation:

When both metal blocks get in touch each other, as they are assumed perfect conductors, excess charge is evenly spread out on the surfaces on both blocks.

Due to the total charge must be conserved, this means that if one block had a charge Q, and the other block was neutral, after separated, each of them must have exactly the half of the total excess charge.

So, if the total charge was 7 nC, each block must keep 3.5 nC, i.e., the final charge of block A is 3.5 nC.

A snowball starting at rest rolls down a hill and reaches 5 m/s. If the hill is
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

The acceleration of the snowball is 0.3125

Explanation:

The initial speed of the snowball up the hill, u = 0

The speed the snowball reaches, v = 5 m/s

The length of the hill, s = 40 m

The equation of motion of the snowball given the above parameters is therefore;

v² = u² + 2·a·s

Where;

a = The acceleration of the snowball

Plugging in the values, we have;

5² = 0² + 2 × a × 40

∴ 2 ×  40 × a  = 5² = 25

80 × a = 25

a = 25/80 = 5/16

a = The acceleration of the snowball = 5/16 m/s².

The acceleration of the snowball = 5/16 m/s² = 0.3125 m/s² .

An engine manufacturer makes the claim that the engine they have developed will, on each cycle, take 100J of heat out of boiling
Alborosie

Answer:

Explanation:

Intake heat, QH = 100 J

output heat, Qc = 20 J

Work, W = 80 J

TH = 100°C = 373 K

Tc = 10°C = 283 K

TH/ Tc =  373 / 283 = 1.318

QH/Qc = 100 / 20 = 5

for a heat engine, those ratios should be same. so temperature is not correct.

(Double points) A mechanic used a wrench 0.6 meters long to loosen rusted lug nuts on a truck wheel. By standing on the end of t
Korolek [52]

Answer:

Torque, \tau=588\ N-m

Explanation:

It is given that,

Length of the wrench, l = 0.6 m

Mass of the wrench, m = 100 kg

We know that the torque applied by mechanic is given by :

\tau=Fl

\tau=mgl

\tau=100\times 9.8\times 0.6

\tau=588\ N-m

So, the torque applied by the mechanic is 588 N-m. Hence, this is the required solution.
