Answer:

40s

Explanation:

Given:

F=100N

V=40m/s and 0

force=change in momenton

F=mv-mu

t=40(100-0)/100

t=40/1

t=40s

What are two ways in which the suns energy can be captured and used?

My name is Ann [436]

The oldest way ... the way we've been using as long as we've been
walking on the Earth ... has been to use plants. Plants sit out in the
sun all day, capturing its energy and using it to make chemical compounds.
Then we come along, cut the plants down, and eat them. Our bodies
rip the chemical compounds apart and suck the solar energy out of them,
and then we use the energy to walk around, sing, and play video games.

Another way to capture the sun's energy is to build a dam across a creek
or a river, so that the water can't flow past it. You see, it was the sun's
energy that evaporated the water from the ocean and lifted it high into
the sky, giving it a lot of potential energy. The rain falls on high ground,
up in the mountains, so the water still has most of that potential energy
as it drizzles down the river to the ocean. If we catch it on its way, we
can use some of that potential energy to turn wheels, grind our grain,
turn our hydroelectric turbines to get electrical energy ... all kinds of jobs.

A modern, recent new way to capture some of the sun's energy is to use
photovoltaic cells. Those are the flat blue things that you see on roofs
everywhere. When the sun shines on them, they convert some of its
energy into electrical energy. We use some of what they produce, and
we store the rest in giant batteries, to use when the sun is not there.

Consider three identical metal spheres, A, B, and C. Sphere A carries a charge of +6q. Sphere B caries a charge of-2q. Sphere C

miskamm [114]

<h2>20. How much charge is on sphere B after A and B touch and are separated?</h2><h3>Answer:</h3>

$\boxed{q_{B}=+2q}$

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We'll solve this problem by using the concept of electric potential or simply called potential $V$ , which is <em>the energy per unit charge, </em>so the potential $V$ at any point in an electric field with a test charge $q_{0}$ at that point is:

$V=\frac{U}{q_{0}}$

The potential $V$ due to a single point charge q is:

$V=k\frac{q}{r}$

Where $k$ is an electric constant, $q$ is value of point charge and $r$ is the distance from point charge to where potential is measured. Since, the three spheres A, B and C are identical, they have the same radius $r$ . Before the sphere A and B touches we have:

$V_{A}=k\frac{q_{A}}{r_{A}} \\ \\ V_{B}=k\frac{q_{B}}{r_{A}} \\ \\ But: \\ \\ \ r_{A}=r_{B}=r$

When they touches each other the potential is the same, so:

$V_{A}= V_{B} \\ \\ k\frac{q_{A}}{r}=k\frac{q_{B}}{r} \\ \\ \boxed{q_{A}=q_{B}}$

From the principle of conservation of charge <em>the algebraic sum of all the electric charges in any closed system is constant. </em>So:

$q_{A}+q_{B}=q \\ \\ q_{A}=+6q \ and \ q_{B}=-2q \\ \\ So: \\ \\ \boxed{q_{A}+q_{B}=+4q}$

Therefore:

$(1) \ q_{A}=q_{B} \\ \\ (2) \ q_{A}+q_{B}=+4q \\ \\ (1) \ into \ (2): \\ \\ q_{A}+q_{A}=+4q \therefore 2q_{A}=+4q \therefore \boxed{q_{A}=q_{B}=+2q}$

So after A and B touch and are separated the charge on sphere B is:

$\boxed{q_{B}=+2q}$

<h2>21. How much charge ends up on sphere C?</h2><h3>Answer:</h3>

$\boxed{q_{C}=+1.5q}$

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

First: A and B touches and are separated, so the charges are:

$q_{A}=q_{B}=+2q$

Second: C is then touched to sphere A and separated from it.

Third: C is to sphere B and separated from it

So we need to calculate the charge that ends up on sphere C at the third step, so we also need to calculate step second. Therefore, from the second step:

Here $q_{A}=+2q$ and C carries no net charge or $q_{C}=0$ . Also, $r_{A}=r_{C}=r$

$V_{A}=k\frac{q_{A}}{r} \\ \\ V_{C}=k\frac{q_{C}}{r}$

Applying the same concept as the previous problem when sphere touches we have:

$k\frac{q_{A}}{r} =k\frac{q_{C}}{r} \\ \\ q_{A}=q_{C}$

For the principle of conservation of charge:

$q_{A}+q_{C}=+2q \\ \\ q_{A}=q_{C}=+q$

Finally, from the third step:

Here $q_{B}=+2q \ and \ q_{C}=+q$ . Also, $r_{B}=r_{C}=r$

$V_{B}=k\frac{q_{B}}{r} \\ \\ V_{C}=k\frac{q_{C}}{r}$

When sphere touches we have:

$k\frac{q_{B}}{r} =k\frac{q_{C}}{r} \\ \\ q_{B}=q_{C}$

For the principle of conservation of charge:

$q_{B}+q_{C}=+3q \\ \\ q_{A}=q_{C}=+1.5q$

So the charge that ends up on sphere C is:

$q_{C}=+1.5q$

<h2>22. What is the total charge on the three spheres before they are allowed to touch each other.</h2><h3>Answer:</h3>

$+4q$

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Before they are allowed to touch each other we have that:

$q_{A}=+6q \\ \\ q_{B}=-2q \\ \\ q_{C}=0$

Therefore, for the principle of conservation of charge <em>the algebraic sum of all the electric charges in any closed system is constant, </em>then this can be expressed as:

$q_{A}+q_{B}+q_{C}=+6q -2q +0 \\ \\ \therefore q_{A}+q_{B}+q_{C}=+4q$

Lastly, the total charge on the three spheres before they are allowed to touch each other is:

$+4q$

Rearrange the formula F=ma, and solve for the variable (a)

jeyben [28]

Answer:

a = F/m

Explanation:

So we have to isolate a, in order to do this we need to move m to the other side, and we do that by diving both sides by m, resulting in a = F/m
