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.

you nose out another runner to win 100.000 m dash. if your total time for the race was 13.800 s and you aced out the other runne
sammy [17]

Your average speed was

(100 m) / (13.8 s) = 7.25 m/s .

If you finished 0.001s ahead of him, then at your average speed, that corresponds to

(7.25 m/s) x (0.001 s) = 0.00725 m

That's 7.25 millimeters ... about 0.28 of an inch !

NOTE:. I think this is only valid if your speed was a constant ~7.25 m/s all the way.

Which identifies a machine that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy?
yKpoI14uk [10]
The answer is the option c. generator. Generator is a machine that converts mechanical energy into electricity. The way it is made is because the mechanical movement may be transformed in rotation of magnets placed inside a coiled wire, and this induces the movement of electrons through the coiled wire. As you know electricity is the flow of electrons.

The carbon isotope 14C is used for carbon dating of archeological artifacts. 14C(mass 2.34×10−26kg) decays by the process known
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

2240.92365 m/s

Explanation:

m_1 = Mass of electron = 9.11\times 10^{−31}\ kg

v_1 = Speed of electron = 5.7\times 10^7\ m/s

p_2 = Neutrino has a momentum = 7.3\times 10^{-24}\ kg m/s

M = total mass = 2.34\times 10^{-26}\ kg

In the x axis as the momentum is conserved

Mv_x=m_1v_1\\\Rightarrow v_x=\dfrac{m_1v_1}{M}\\\Rightarrow v_x=\dfrac{9.11\times 10^{−31}\times 5.7\times 10^7}{2.34\times 10^{-26}}\\\Rightarrow v_x=2219.10256\ m/s

In the y axis

Mv_y=p_2\\\Rightarrow v_y=\dfrac{p_2}{M}\\\Rightarrow v_y=\dfrac{7.3\times 10^{-24}}{2.34\times 10^{-26}}\\\Rightarrow v_y=311.96581\ m/s

The resultant velocity is

R=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}\\\Rightarrow R=\sqrt{2219.10256^2+311.96581^2}\\\Rightarrow R=2240.92365\ m/s

The recoil speed of the nucleus is 2240.92365 m/s
