Two engineering students, John with a weight of 96 kg and Mary with a weight of 48 kg, are 30 m apart. Suppose each has a 0.04%

imbalance in the amount of positive and negative charge, one student being positive and the other negative. Estimate the electrostatic force of attraction between them by replacing each student with a sphere of water having the same mass as the student.

Answer:

6.8370869499\times 10^{20}\ N

Explanation:

N_A = Avogadro's number = 6.022\times 10^{23}

e = Charge of electron = 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

k = Coulomb constant = 8.99\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2

Z = Atomic number of water = 18

M = Molar mass of water = 0.018 kg/mol

m = Mass of person

The charge is given by

q=imbalance\times n\times e

Total number of protons and electrons in each sphere

n=\dfrac{mN_AZe}{M}

q=imbalance\times \dfrac{mN_AZe}{M}

q_1=0.0004\times \dfrac{96\times 6.022\times 10^{23}\times 18\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{0.018}\\\Rightarrow q_1=3699916.8\ C

q_2=0.0004\times \dfrac{48\times 6.022\times 10^{23}\times 18\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{0.018}\\\Rightarrow q_1=1849958.4\ C

Electrical force is given by

F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{8.99\times 10^{9}\times 3699916.8\times 1849958.4}{30^2}\\\Rightarrow F=6.8370869499\times 10^{20}\ N

The electrostatic force of attraction between them is 6.8370869499\times 10^{20}\ N

The period of rotation of Mars is 1 day and 37 minutes. Determine its frequency of rotation in Hertz.
Sholpan [36]

The frequency of rotation of Mars is 0.0000113 Hertz.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Period = 1 day and 37 minutes.

To find the frequency of rotation in Hertz:

First of all, we would convert the the value of period in days and minutes to seconds because the period of oscillation of a physical object is measured in seconds.

<u>Conversion:</u>

1 day = 24 hours

24 hours to minutes = 60 × 24 = 1440 minutes

1440 + 37 = 1477 \; minutes

1 minute = 60 seconds

1477 minute = X seconds

Cross-multiplying, we have:

X = 60 × 1477

X = 88620 seconds

Now, we can find the frequency of rotation of Mars by using the formula:

Frequency = \frac{1}{Period}\\\\Frequency = \frac{1}{88620}

<em>Frequency </em><em>of rotation</em> = <em>0.0000113 Hertz</em>

Therefore, the frequency of rotation of Mars is 0.0000113 Hertz.

Which best describes why Keplers observation of planetary motion is a law instead of a theory
svet-max [94.6K]

Kepler's first law - sometimes referred to as the law of ellipses - explains that planets are orbiting the sun in a path described as an ellipse. An ellipse can easily be constructed using a pencil, two tacks, a string, a sheet of paper and a piece of cardboard. Tack the sheet of paper to the cardboard using the two tacks. Then tie the string into a loop and wrap the loop around the two tacks. Take your pencil and pull the string until the pencil and two tacks make a triangle (see diagram at the right). Then begin to trace out a path with the pencil, keeping the string wrapped tightly around the tacks. The resulting shape will be an ellipse. An ellipse is a special curve in which the sum of the distances from every point on the curve to two other points is a constant. The two other points (represented here by the tack locations) are known as the foci of the ellipse. The closer together that these points are, the more closely that the ellipse resembles the shape of a circle. In fact, a circle is the special case of an ellipse in which the two foci are at the same location. Kepler's first law is rather simple - all planets orbit the sun in a path that resembles an ellipse, with the sun being located at one of the foci of that ellipse.
