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 force of 6N is exerted on a cart that is carrying a rock and produces an acceleration of 2 m/s2. If the cart has a mass of 1 k
vaieri [72.5K]
If you use the equation F=ma and re-arrange it to get m = F/a, you'll get the total mass. Then you have to subtract the mass of the cart from the total mass to get the mass of the rock. 

Thus, m = 6N over 2m/s^2. The total mass will then be 3kg. Subtracting 1kg from the total mass will then yield you 2kg, which is the mass of the rock. Hope this helps.

A 1170-kg car is held in place by a light cable on a very smooth (frictionless) ramp, as shown in the figure (Figure 1) . The ca
liq [111]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

The mass of the car is 1170 kg, therefore its weight is
W = (1170 kg)*(9.8 m/s²) = 11466 N

The component of the weight acting down the incline is
F = W sin(25°) = (11466 N)*sin(25°) = 4845.7 N

The normal reaction from the inclined plane is
N = W cos(25°) = (11466 N) cos(25°) = 1039.2 N

T =  tension in the cable, acting at 31° above the surface of the ramp.

The Free Body Diagram on the right shows all the forces (friction is ignored)
and they FDB is sufficient for determining the value of T which establishes equilibrium.
