A spherical drop of water carrying a charge of 38 pC has a potential of 710 V at its surface (with V = 0 at infinity). (a) What

is the radius of the drop? (b) If two such drops of the same charge and radius combine to form a single spherical drop, what is the potential at the surface of the new drop?

Answer: a) r= 4.82 * 10^-4 m ; b) 1420 V

Explanation: In order to solve this problem we have to take into account that potential for a sphere respec to V=0 at the infinity, which is given by:

V=k*Q/r where r is the radius of the drop

then we have

r=k*Q/V=9*10^9*38pC/710V= 4.82 * 10^-4 m

Finally if we join two drop to form one with the same radius but with twice charge the resultant potential is:

V= k*2*Q/(r)= 710*2= 1420 V

<span>d.rotating counterclockwise and slowing down This is a matter of understanding the notation and conventions of angular rotations. Positive rotations are counter clockwise and negative rotations are clockwise. An easy way to remember this is the "right hand rule". Make a closed fist with your right hand and have the thumb sticking outwards. If you orient your thumb such that it's pointing in the direction of the positive value along the axis, your fingers will be curled in the positive rotational direction. So in the described scenario, the sphere is rotating in the positive direction (counter clockwise) and decelerating due to the negative angular acceleration. That immediately indicates that options "a", "b", and "e" are wrong since they mention the sphere going clockwise at the beginning. Of the two remaining options "c" and "d", we can discard option "c" since it has the rotation speeding up, and that leaves us with option "d" where the sphere is rotating counter clockwise and slowing down.</span>

Without fluid friction, all objects accelerate at?
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

Acceleration of gravity=9.8m/s/s

Explanation:

Newton's Second Law-acceleration is proportional to the net force acting on an object.

All objects usually free fall at the same acceleration of 9.8m/s/s-this regardless of their mass. This acceleration is known as acceleration of gravity.

Answer:

Light refracts when its speed changes as it enters a new medium.

Explanation:

Bending of light wave while it entering a medium with different speed is called refraction of light. Light passing from a faster medium to the slower medium bends the light rays toward the normal to boundary between two media. The amount of the  bending of light depends on refractive index of the two media which is described by  the Snell's Law. The angle of incidence is not equal to  angle of refraction. Rainbow is caused but this refraction phenomena. Also Refraction is used in magnifying glasses, prism and lenses

A car accelerates from rest at a constant rate of 2m/s2 for 5s. what is the speed of a car at the end of that time?
Fiesta28 [93]
Good afternoon.


We have:

\mathsf{V_0 = 0}\\ \mathsf{a = 2 \ m/s^2}\\ \mathsf{t = 5 \ s}

The function of velocity:

\mathsf{V = V_0+at}\\ \\ \mathsf{V = 0 + 2t}\\ \\ \mathsf{V = 2t}


For t = 5 s:

\mathsf{V = 2\cdot 5}\\ \\ \boxed{\mathsf{V = 10 \ m/s}}
