Two small plastic spheres are given positive electrical charges. When they are a distance of 14.8cm apart, the repulsive force b

etween them has a magnitude of 0.235 N.
What is the charge on each sphere if the two charges are equal?

Answer:

Explanation:

Case I: They have same charge.

Charge on each sphere = q

Distance between them, d = 14.8 cm = 0.148 m

Repulsive force, F = 0.235 N

Use Coulomb's law in electrostatics

F=\frac{Kq_{1}q_{2}}{d^{2}}

By substituting the values

0.235=\frac{9\times10^{9}q^{2}}{0.148^{2}}

q=7.56\times10^{-7}C

Thus, the charge on each sphere is q=7.56\times10^{-7}C.

Case II:

Charge on first sphere = 4q

Charge on second sphere = q

distance between them, d = 0.148 m

Force between them, F = 0.235 N

Use Coulomb's law in electrostatics

F=\frac{Kq_{1}q_{2}}{d^{2}}

By substituting the values

0.235=\frac{9\times 10^{9}\times 4q^{2}}{0.148^{2}}

q=3.78\times10^{-7}C

Thus, the charge on second sphere is q=3.78\times10^{-7}C and the charge on first sphere is 4q = 4\times 3.78\times 10^{-7}=1.51 \times 10^{-6} C.

A metal block suspended from a spring balance is submerged in water. You observe that the block displaces 55 cm3 of water and th
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

8977.7 kg/m^3

Explanation:

Volume of water displaced = 55 cm^3 = 55 x 10^-6 m^3

Reading of balance when block is immersed in water = 4.3 N

According to the Archimedes principle, when a body is immersed n a liquid partly or wholly, then there is a loss in the weight of body which is called upthrust or buoyant force. this buoyant force is equal to the weight of liquid displaced by the body.

Buoyant force = weight of the water displaced by the block

Buoyant force = Volume of water displaced x density of water x g

                        = 55 x 10^-6 x 1000 x .8 = 0.539 N

True weight of the body = Weight of body in water + buoyant force

m g = 4.3 + 0.539 = 4.839

m = 0.4937 kg

Density of block = mass of block / volume of block

= \frac{0.4937}{55\times10^{-6}}

Density of block = 8977.7 kg/m^3

Which of the following has potential but not kinetic energy?
gavmur [86]

The answer would be option D "a ball sitting on a shelf." Potential energy is the amount of energy a object has while it's at rest.. (or not moving) Kinetic energy is how much energy a object is while it's moving. So in this case it's option D because a ball sitting on a shelf isn't moving therefore it has potential energy. It's not option A because thats a example of kinetic energy since how the roller coaster is moving. It's not option B because it's kinetic energy because the bike is moving. It's also not option C because it's kinetic energy because the bird is moving.


Hope this helps!

What is a crystal as applied in physics ​
Scilla [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is - A matter that has an ordered arrangement of atoms, molecules, or ions.

Explanation:

In physics, a crystal is a type of solid matter in which a highly arranged molecule or atoms present to form a lattice that extended in all directions. It is a lightweight clear solid which is normally is colorless.

It can be cubic, hexagonal, triclinic, monoclinic, orthorhombic, tetragonal, and trigonal that are ordered arrangments. Its internal symmetry is visible to its surface.
