Two balls of mass 0.09 kg hang on strings attached to the same point on the ceiling. The balls are given charges Q that cause th

em to repel. Once in equilibrium, the strings make 45-degree angles with the vertical, and the spheres are separated by 2 meters. The charge Q on each sphere is:________.

Answer:

Q = 6.33μC

Explanation:

To find the value of the charge Q you take into account both gravitational force and electric force over each ball. By symmetry you can use the fact that both balls experiences the same forces. Hence you only take into account the forces for one ball for the x component and y component:

-Mg+Tcos\theta=0\\\\F_e-Tsin\theta=0

M: mass of the ball = 0.09kg

T: tension of the string

F_e: electric force between charges

angle = 45°

The electric force is given by:

F_e=k\frac{Q^2}{r^2}

Q: charge of the balls

r: distance between balls = 2m

You divide both equation in order to eliminate the tension T:

tan\theta=\frac{F_e}{Mg}=k\frac{Q^2}{Mgr^2}

By doing Q the subject of the formula and replacing you obtain:

Q=\sqrt{\frac{tan\theta Mgr^2}{k}}=\sqrt{\frac{tan45\°(0.09kg)(2m)^2}{(8.89*10^{9}Nm^2/C^2)}}=6.33*10^{-6}C=6.33\mu C

hence, the charge of the balls is 6.33μC

When nuclear fission occurs some mass is lost where does that mass go
horrorfan [7]
The loss of matter is called the mass defect. The missing matter is converted into energy. You can actually calculate the amount of energy produced during a nuclear reaction with  fairly simple equation developed by Albert Einstein; E = mc^2. In this equation, E is the amount of energy produced, m is the missing mass, or the mass defect, and c is the speed of light, which is a rather large number. The speed of light is squared, making that part of the equation a very large number that, even when multiplied by a small amount of mass, yields a large amount of energy.

KatRina [158]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 11 mL</h3>

Explanation:

To find the volume of the object we use the formula

volume of object = final volume of water - initial volume of water

From the question

final volume of water = 86 mL

initial volume of water = 75 mL

So we have

volume of object = 86 - 75

We have the final answer as

<h3>11 mL</h3>

Hope this helps you
