Coulomb measured the deflection of sphere A when spheres A and B had equal charges and were a distance d apart. He then made the

charge on B one-fifth the charge on A. How far apart would the two spheres then have had to be for A to have had the same deflection that it had before

Answer:

The new distance is     d = 0.447 d₀

Explanation:

The electric out is given by Coulomb's Law

         F = k q₁ q₂ / r²

This electric force is in balance with tension.

We reduce the charge of sphere B to 1/5 of its initial value (q_{B}=q₂ = q₂ / 5) than new distance (d = n d₀)

dat

     q₁ = q_{A}

     q₂ = q_{B}

     r = d₀

In order for the deviation to maintain the electric force it should not change, so we apply the Coulomb equation for the two points

         F = k q₁ q₂ / d₀²

         F = k q₁ (q₂ / 5) / (n d₀)²

         .k q₁ q₂ / d₀² = q₁ q₂ / (5 n² d₀²)

          5 n² = 1

          n = √ 1/5

          n = 0.447

The new distance is

         d = 0.447 d₀

How does an impulse propagate down the axon
kolezko [41]

When action potentials reach the end of the axon, they stimulate opening of Ca2+ channels, causing a release of neurotransmitters to the post-synaptic cell. How does and impulse propagate down the axon? The stimulus causes a start of the action potential and it moves down the axon without the ions moving down

A rock is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 18.0 m/s from the roof of a building that is 50.0 m above the ground. Assume
Andreyy89

Answer:

(a) 5.7 s

(b) 39 m/s

Explanation:

(a) u = 18 m/s

At the maximum height, the final velocity of ball is zero. lte teh time taken by the ball to go from 50 m height to maximum height is t.

use first equation of motion.

v = u + g t

0 = 18 - 10 x t

t = 1.8 s

Let the maximum height attained by the ball when it thrown from 50 m height is h'.

Use third equation of motion

v^2 = u^2 + 2 g h'

0 = 18^2 - 2 x 10 x h'

h' = 16.2 m

Total height from the ground H = h + h' = 50 + 16.2 = 76.2 m

Let t' be the time taken by the ball to hit the ground as it falls from maximum height.

use third equation of motion

H = ut + 1/2 x g t'^2

76.2 = 0 + 1/2 x 10 x t'^2

t' = 3.9 s

Total time taken by the ball to hit the ground = T = t + t' = 1.8 + 3.9 = 5.7 s

(b) Let v be the velocity with which the ball strikes the ground.

v^2 = u^2 + 2 g H

v^2 = 0 + 2 x 10 x 76.2

v = 39 m/s
