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.

1. Millions of gallons of water are wasted by households in America on a yearly basis as a result of wastage of water in the laundry rooms. There are many ways by which water can be conserved in the laundry room, these include:
1. Using a high efficiency washing machine.
2. Choosing the right load sizes and cycles when using washing machines.
3. Wearing clothes more than once before washing them.
4. Collection of grey and rain water.
5. Treat difficult stains before washing them.

2. Using a high efficiency machine will ensure that water is used efficiently. A high efficiency washing machine uses much less water and save about 6,000 gallons of water for an average family on a yearly basis according to Environmental Protection Agency. 
Grey water refers to water that have used once. Water that has been used for washing clothes or bathing can be collected again, recycle and use for some household needs such as gardening, flushing of toilet, etc. Water tanks can also be installed to collect rain water which can be used for washing clothes. This will have positive effect on household overall water consumption.

A nucleus with a mass number of 64 has a mean radius of about: _________.
dangina [55]

Answer:

The correct option is A

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass number is A= 64

Generally the mean radius is mathematically evaluated as

R  =  R_o A^{\frac{1}{3} }

Here R_o is a constant with a value  R_o =1.2*10^{-15}

So  

     R  =  1.2*10^{-15} *  64^{\frac{1}{3} }

      R  =   4.8 *10^{-15}

        R  =   4.8\ fm

Which wavelength of light is capable of penetrating the dust of a nebula?
ivann1987 [24]
When the dust is too thick to penetrate with visible light, such as the Nebula, Radio Waves are used to penetrate the dust. Longer radio waves can completely penetrate the thick cloud cover, allowing scientists to beam radar waves.

A 23.0 kg iron weightlifting plate has a volume of 2920 cm3 . what is the density of the iron plate in g/cm3?
yanalaym [24]
The first thing you should know for this case is that density is defined as the quotient between mass and volume:
 D = M / V
 In addition, you should keep in mind the following conversion:
 1Kg = 1000g
 Substituting the values we have:
 D = (23.0 * 1000) / (2920) = 7.88 g / cm ^ 3
 answer
 the density of the iron plate is 7.88 g / cm ^ 3

What is electrostatic repulsion?
Anton [14]
Electrostatic repulsion is the force between two charges having the same sign, that tends to separate them further. The force is proportional to the product of the charges, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
