When a third object is brought in contact with the first object (after it gains the electrons), the resulting charge on the thir

Answer:

- Contact 1 with 3 ,  initial charge of 1.8 C.

- contact 1 with 2 and then 1 with 3 , first body should have 3.6 C

Explanation:

The excess charge on a body is distributed evenly throughout the body.

We can have two different configurations:

- Contact 1 with 3

When the third body was touched with the first, the initial charge was distributed between the two, so that when each one separated, it had half the charge, in this configuration the first body should have an initial charge of 1.8 C.

- contact 1 with 2 and then 1 with 3

Another possible configuration of the exercise is that the first body touches the second and the charge decrease to the half and then touches the third where it again decreases by half, so that the first body only gives it every ¼ of its initial load.

Therefore in this configuration if the third body has a load of 0.9C the first body should have 3.6 C

Why do hurricanes rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

A hurricane's spin and the spin's direction is determined by a super-powerful phenomenon called the Coriolis effect. It causes the path of everything from particles in the air to currents in the ocean so they curve as they travel across and over Earth's surfaces.

What is the magnitude of the change in potential energy of the block-spring system when it travels from its lowest vertical posi
maksim [4K]

Answer:

 ΔU = 2 mg h

Explanation:

In a spring mass system the potential energy is U = m g h

where h is measured from the equilibrium point of the spring

the potential energy at the highest point is

         U₁ = m g h

the potential energy at the lowest point is

         U₂ = m g (-h)

instead in this energy it is

          ΔU = 2 mg h

In this two points the kinetic energy is zero, but there is elastic potential energy that has the same value in the two points, so its change is zero

What is the maximum acceleration the belt can have without the crate slipping? express your answer using two significant figures
Montano1993 [528]

To prevent the crate from slipping, the maximum force that the belt can exert on the crate must be equal to the static friction force.


Ff = 0.5 * 16 * 9.8 = 78.4 N

a = 4.9 m/s^2


If acceleration of the belt exceeds the value determined in the previous question, what is the acceleration of the crate?


In this situation, the kinetic friction force is causing the crate to decelerate. So the net force on the crate is 78.4 N minus the kinetic friction force.


Ff = 0.28 * 16 * 9.8 = 43.904 N

Net force = 78.4 – 43.904 = 34.496 N

To determine the acceleration, divide by the mass of the crate.

a = 34.496 ÷ 16 = 2.156 m/s^2
