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 50 Kg box sits at rest on a 30 degree ramp where the coef of static friction is 0.5773. If your push was directed at an angle
emmasim [6.3K]

<u>Given data:</u>

m= 50 Kg,

W= m×g = 50 × 9.81 = 490.5 N

ramp angle (α) = 30 degrees,

coefficient of friction (μs) = 0.5773,

Push at an angle (Θ) = 40 degrees,

Determine: Push to get box move up (P)=?

From the figure,

Resolving the forces along the plane

W sinα + μs.R = P cos Θ       --------------------- (i)

Resolving the forces perpendicular to the inclined plane

W cosα = R+Psin Θ  =>  R= W cosα - Psin Θ -------------- (ii)

Solving (i) and (ii) and keeping <em>μs = tan Φ, Φ = Θ </em>

<em>Pmin = W sin( α +Θ  )</em>

<em>          = W[ sin α.Cos Θ + cos α.sin Θ]</em>

<em>           = 490.5 [ (sin 30.cos40) + (cos30.sin 40)]</em>

<em>           = 460.9 N</em>

<em>Minimum push required to move the box up the ramp is 460.9 N</em>
