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?
What is the charge on first sphere if it has four times the charge of the other?
What is the charge on the second sphere?

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.

PAPER CLIPS ON NOSE OF A PAPER AIRPLANE

Purpose: To determine if the number of paperclips on the nose of a paper airplane affects the velocity and speed, measured in meters per seconds.

Make a Hypothesis Based on the Learning Thus Far: If the number of paperclips on the nose of a paper airplane increases, then the speed will _increase______ (increase, decrease, stay the same) in a __linear_______ (linear, exponential, logarithmic) mathematical relationship, and the velocity will (increase, decrease, stay the same) in a __exponential____ (linear, exponential, logarithmic) mathematical relationship. (Fill in the appropriate words for your hypothesis.)

Pictures: Insert at least 3 pictures of yourself conducting the experiment into this lab report. At least 2 pictures must show your face as you conduct the investigation. You may need to ask someone to help take these photos.

According to the photon energy formula, tripling the frequency of the radiation from a monochromatic source will change the ener
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

By a factor of 3

Explanation:

In the photon energy formula , frequency and the energy content have a direct relationship. This means anything that is done to one of the parameters is the same that will be done to the other to have a balance.

In this equation: Energy=plank’s constant * frequency.

Energy is directly proportional to frequency.

An asteroid orbiting the Sun has a mass of 4.00×1016 kg. At a particular instant, it experiences a gravitational force of 3.14×1
Ksivusya [100]
<h2>The asteroid is 4.11 x 10¹¹ m far from Sun</h2>

Explanation:

We have gravitational force

                 F=\frac{GMm}{r^2}

           Where G =  6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg²

                       M = Mass of body 1

                       M = Mass of body 2

                       r = Distance between them

Here we have

                 M = Mass of Sun = 1.99×10³⁰ kg

                 m = Mass of asteroid = 4.00×10¹⁶ kg

                 F = 3.14×10¹³ N

Substituting

                   F=\frac{GMm}{r^2}\\\\3.14\times 10^{13}=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.99\times 10^{30}\times 4\times 10^{16}}{r^2}\\\\r=4.11\times 10^{11}m

The asteroid is 4.11 x 10¹¹ m far from Sun
