Answer:

$Q=3.47\times 10^{-15}\ C$

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of extra electrons, n = 21749

We need to find the net charge on the metal ball. Let Q is the net charge.

We know that the charge on an electron is $q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

To find the net charge if there are n number of extra electrons is :

Q = n × q

$Q=21749\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

$Q=3.47\times 10^{-15}\ C$

So, the net charge on the metal ball is $3.47\times 10^{-15}\ C$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

When water freezes, its volume increases by 9.05% (that is, equation). What force per unit area is water capable of exerting on

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

1.991 × 10^(8) N/m²

Explanation:

We are told that its volume increases by 9.05%.

Thus; (ΔV/V_o) = 9.05% = 0.0905

To find the force per unit area which is also pressure, we will use bulk modulus formula;

B = Δp(V_o/ΔV)

Making Δp the subject gives;

Δp = B(ΔV/V_o)

Now, B is bulk modulus of water with a value of 2.2 × 10^(9) N/m²

Thus;

Δp = 2.2 × 10^(9)[0.0905]

Δp = 1.991 × 10^(8) N/m²

What is inertia?by Walter Levin..<br>

Tom [10]

Inertia is directly proportional to mass.

What is Walter Lewin famous for?

Walter Hendrik Gustav Lewin (born January 29, 1936) is a Dutch astrophysicist and former professor of physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Lewin earned his doctorate in nuclear physics in 1965 at the Delft University of Technology and was a member of MIT's physics faculty for 43 years beginning in 1966 until his retirement in 2009.

According to Walter Levin,

The concept of moment of inertia is demonstrated by rolling a series of cylinders down an inclined plane.

Inertia is the resistance of any physical object to a change in its velocity. This includes changes to the object's speed, or direction of motion. An aspect of this property is the tendency of objects to keep moving in a straight line at a constant speed when no forces act upon them.

By rolling a series of cylinders down on an inclined plane , he demonstrated that a cylinder have a smooth friction.

He compares the rolling cylinder by using hollow cylinder and a heavy cylinder , and finalize the result that a hollow cylinder moves slowly but the heavy cylinder move faster.

Hence , By doing this experiment he explained about the inertia that Inertia depend on the mass of the object. As the heavy the object it will take more time to travel or move.

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

45930.52N

Explanation:

Net force = (internal pressure - external pressure)× area of window

Net force = (1.02 - 0.910)atm × 2.03m × 2.03m = 0.11atm × 4.1209m^2 = 0.11 × 101325N/m^2 × 4.1209m^2 = 45930.52N

A proud new Jaguar owner drives her car at a speed of 25 m/s into a corner. The coefficients of friction between the road and th

ehidna [41]

Answer:

ac = 3.92 m/s²

Explanation:

In this case the frictional force must balance the centripetal force for the car not to skid. Therefore,

Frictional Force = Centripetal Force

where,

Frictional Force = μ(Normal Force) = μ(weight) = μmg

Centripetal Force = (m)(ac)

Therefore,

μmg = (m)(ac)

ac = μg

where,

ac = magnitude of centripetal acceleration of car = ?

μ = coefficient of friction of tires (kinetic) = 0.4

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

ac = (0.4)(9.8 m/s²)

A small drop of water is suspended motionless in air by a uniform electric field that is directed upward and has a magnitude of

Gennadij [26K]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the electric field such as the smelting of the Force and the load (In this case the force is equivalent to the weight). Later we will apply the ratio of the total charge as a function of the multiplication of the number of electrons and their individual charge.

$E = \frac{mg}{q}$

Here,

m = mass

g = Acceleration due to gravity

Rearranging to find the charge,

$q = \frac{mg}{E}$

Replacing,

$q = \frac{(3.37*10^{-9})(9.8)}{11000}$

$q = 3.002*10^{-12}C$

Since the field is acting upwards the charge on the drop should be negative to balance it in air. The equation to find the number of electrons then is

$q = ne$
