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

can be great enough to support the top piece's weight. Assuming equal point charges (only an approximation), calculate the magnitude of the charge if electrostatic force is great enough to support the weight of a 15.7 mg piece of tape held 0.72 cm above another. (The magnitude of this charge is consistent with what is typical of static electricity.)

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the equal charges be Q .

Force between charges = k Q² / R where R is distance between charges , k = 9 x 10⁹.

Putting the charges

Force F = 9 x 10⁹ x Q² /( .72 x 10⁻²)²

= 17.36 x 10¹³ Q² N

This force equals weight so

17.36 x 10¹³ Q² = 15.7 x 10⁻³

Q² = .90 x 10⁻¹⁶

Q = .95 x 10⁻⁸

= 9.5 x 10⁻⁹

= 9.5 nC.

How long is a pendulum with a period of 1.0 S on the moon which has 1/6 of the earths gravity
k0ka [10]
For small deflections, T = 2*pi*sqrt(L / g) where T is period, L is length and g is gravity. Setting the equations to the same period, 2*pi*sqrt(3.85 / g) = 2*pi*(L / (1/6 * g)) The equation reduces to 3.85 m = 6 * L so L = 0.642 m chrsclrk · 7 years ago

An apple in a tree has a gravitational store of 8J. As it falls, it accelerates constantly until it hits the ground. What is the
Masja [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that on the tree the gravitational energy stored is 8J

Then, mgh = 8J.

The apple begins to fall and hit the ground, what is the maximum kinetic energy?

Using conservation of energy, as the above is about to hit the ground, the apple is at is maximum speed, and the height then is 0m, so the potential energy at the ground is zero, so all the potential of the apple at the too of the tree is converted to kinetic energy as it is about to hits the ground. Along the way to the ground, both the Kinetic energy and potential energy is conserved, it is notice that at the top of the tree, the apple has only potential energy since velocity is zero at top, and at the bottom of the tree the apple has only kinetic energy since potential energy is zero(height=0)

So,

K.E(max) = 8J
