Common transparent tape becomes charged when pulled from a dispenser. If one piece is placed above another, the repulsice force

can be great enough to support the top pieces weight. Assuming equal point charges, calculate the magnitide of the charge if electrostatic force is great enough to support the weight of a 11.0 mg piece of tape held 1.00 cm above another.

Answer:

Q = 1.095 x 10^-9 C

Let the force experienced by the top piece of tape be F

F = kQ²/r²

r = distance between the two pieces tape = 1.00cm = 1.00 x 10^ -2 m

1/4(pi)*Eo = k = 8.99 x 10^9 Nm²/C²

The electric force of repulsion between the two charges and the weight of the top piece of tape are equal so

F = kQ²/r² = mg

Where m is the mass of the top piece of tape and g is the acceleration due to gravity

On re-arranging the equation above,

Q² = mgr²/k

Q² = ((11.0 x 10^-6) x 9.8 x (1.00x10^-2)²)/(8.99 x 10^9)

Q = 1.095x10^-9 C

Explanation:

The charge Q on both pieces of tape are equal and both act with a force of repulsion on each other.

The force of repulsion between both tapes pushes the top piece of tape upwards. The weight of the top piece of tape acts vertically downward. Since the top tape is in a position of equilibrium, the two forces acting on the top piece of tape must be equal to each other. This assumption is backed up by newton's first law of motion which states that the summation of all forces acting on a body at rest must be equal to zero. That is

Fe (electric force) - Fg (gravitational force) = 0

Fe = Fg

kQ²/r² = mg

On substituting the respective values for all variables except Q and rearranging the equation Q = 1.09 x 10^-9

g How many diffraction maxima are contained in a region of the Fraunhofer single-slit pattern, subtending an angle of 2.12°, for
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

2

Explanation:

We know that in the Fraunhofer single-slit pattern,

maxima is given by

a\text{sin}\theta=\frac{2N+1}{2}\lambda

Given values

θ=2.12°

slit width a= 0.110 mm.

wavelength λ= 582 nm

Now plugging values to calculate N we get

0.110\times10^{-3}\text{sin}2.12=(\frac{2N+1}{2})582\times10^{-9}

Solving the above equation we get

we N= 2.313≅ 2

A steel ball and a wooden ball of the same diameter are released together from the top of a tower. In the absence of air resista
ella [17]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The steel ball and the wooden ball do not have the same force acting on them because their masses are different. But, they have the same acceleration which is the acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s².

Using the equation of motion under freefall, s = ut +1/2gt². Since u = 0,

s = 1/2gt² ⇒ t = √(2s/g)

Since. s = height is the same for both objects, they land at the same time neglecting air resistance.

A transformer is designed to provide 6 V from a 150 V supply. If the primary coil has 1000 turns, how many turns does the second
zavuch27 [327]
The applicable relationship is N1/N2 = V1/V2, meaning the ratio of primary voltage to secondary voltage is equal to the ratio of primary turns to secondary turns.

Here N1 = 1000, V1 = 250, V2 = 400V and N2 = TBD.

Rewriting the above relationship, N2 = N1 V2/V1 = 1000 x 400/250 = 1600 turns.
