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

You are making a round trip from City A to City B and back to City A again at constant speed. At what point in the trip is your
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

Halfway between B and A on the return leg.

Explanation:

Your average SPEED for the entire trip will equal your constant speed as the time and distance increase at proportionate rates.

Your average VELOCITY will equal your constant speed while you travel from A to B because time and displacement are increasing at proportionate rates.

When you turn around at B to return, your Displacement is now decreasing while your travel time continues to increase, so your average velocity decreases.

Lets say the distance from A to B is 90 km and your constant speed is 30 km/hr.

your average speed is 30 km/hr because you took 6 hrs to travel 180 km

We want to find your position when your average velocity is 30/3 = 10 km/hr

it took 3 hrs to go 90 km from A to B. Let t be the time lapsed since turn around

your displacement is given by d = 90 - 30(t)

and your total time of travel is t + 3 hrs

 v = d/t

10 = (90 - 30t) / (t + 3)

10(t + 3) = (90 - 30t)

10t + 30 = 90 - 30t

40t = 60

t = 1.5 hrs

This will occur when you are halfway between B and A

Which of the following wavelengths will produce standing waves on a string that is 3.5 m long?
denpristay [2]

In a string of length L, the wavelength of the n-th harmonic of the standing wave produced in the string is given by:

\lambda=\frac{2}{n} L


The length of the string in this problem is L=3.5 m, therefore the wavelength of the 1st harmonic of the standing wave is:

\lambda=\frac{2}{1} \cdot 3.5 m=7.0 m


The wavelength of the 2nd harmonic is:

\lambda=\frac{2}{2} \cdot 3.5 m=3.5 m


The wavelength of the 4th harmonic is:

\lambda=\frac{2}{4} \cdot 3.5 m=1.75 m


It is not possible to find any integer n such that \lambda=5 m, therefore the correct options are A, B and D.

A 125 N box is being raised from the ground floor and accelerating due to a 175 N force. Identify all the forces and find the Ne
Finger [1]

Answer:

<em>Fn = 50 N</em>

Explanation:

<u>Net Force</u>

The net force is the sum of all the forces acting on an object.

When all the forces act in a single line, the direction of the forces is given by their signs. Positive signs are assumed to be up and left on both axes.

The box being raised by a force has a weight of W=-125 N. The negative sign indicates the weight points down. The accelerating force goes up and its value is F=175 N. The positive sign indicates this force pushes the box up.

The forces acting on the box are:

The weight W=-125 N

The accelerating force F=175 N

The net force is

Fn = W + F = -125N + 175 N

Fn = 50 N
