Four identical metallic spheres with charges of 2.2 µC, 4.2 µC, −7.4 µC, and −6.8 µC are placed on a piece of paper. The paper i

s lifted on all corners so that the spheres come into contact with each other simultaneously. The paper is then flattened so that the metallic spheres become separated.
(a) What is the resulting charge on each sphere?
(b) How many excess or absent electrons (depending on the sign of your answer to part (a)) correspond to the resulting charge on each sphere?

Answer:

Part a)

charge on each sphere is -1.95 micro coulomb

Part b)

For first sphere

N = 2.6 \times 10^{13} excess charge

For second sphere

N = 3.8 \times 10^{13} excess charge

For third sphere

N = 3.4 \times 10^{13} absent charge

For third sphere

N = 3.03 \times 10^{13} absent charge

Explanation:

Part a)

Since all the spheres are of identical size so the total charge of the sphere will divide equally on them

So we have

q = \frac{Q_1 + Q_2 + Q_3 + Q_4}{4}

q = \frac{2.2 \mu C + 4.2 \mu C - 7.4 \mu C - 6.8 \mu C}{4}

q = -1.95 \mu C

So charge on each sphere is -1.95 micro coulomb

Part b)

For first sphere

initial charge = 2.2 micro coulomb

final charge = -1.95 micro coulomb

excess charge = -1.95 - 2.2 = -4.15 micro coulomb

Q = Ne

N = \frac{4.15\times 10^{-19}}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}

N = 2.6 \times 10^{13}

For second sphere

initial charge = 4.2 micro coulomb

final charge = -1.95 micro coulomb

excess charge = -1.95 - 4.2 = -6.15 micro coulomb

Q = Ne

N = \frac{6.15\times 10^{-19}}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}

N = 3.8 \times 10^{13}

For third sphere

initial charge = -7.4 micro coulomb

final charge = -1.95 micro coulomb

absent charge = -1.95 + 7.4 = 5.45 micro coulomb

Q = Ne

N = \frac{5.45\times 10^{-19}}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}

N = 3.4 \times 10^{13}

For third sphere

initial charge = -6.8 micro coulomb

final charge = -1.95 micro coulomb

absent charge = -1.95 + 6.8 = 4.85 micro coulomb

Q = Ne

N = \frac{4.85\times 10^{-19}}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}

N = 3.03 \times 10^{13}

The burning of a log releases the logs chemical_energy into other forms of energy
saul85 [17]

Answer:

When we burn wood we are releasing solar energy, in the form of heat, that has been stored in the wood as chemical energy. The process of photosynthesis converted solar energy, water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and the organic molecules that form the wood, half the weight of which is carbon.

Two cars leave towns 680 kilometers apart at the same time and travel toward each other. one car's rate is 10 kilometers per hou
Evgen [1.6K]

D = distance between the cars at the start of time = 680 km

v₁ = speed of one car

v₂ = speed of other car = v₁ - 10

t = time taken to meet = 4 h

distance traveled by one car in time "t" + distance traveled by other car in time "t" = D

v₁ t + v₂ t = D

(v₁ + v₂) t = D

inserting the values

(v₁ + v₁ - 10) (4) = 680

v₁ = 90 km/h

rate of slower car is given as

v₂ = v₁ - 10

v₂ = 90 - 10 = 80 km/h

Yanka [14]
Since the new distance is 3 times the old distance,
the new force is (1/3²) = 1/9th of the old force.

That's kind-of Choice-D, but I really don't like the way choice-D is worded.
"9 times smaller" is really pretty meaningless.

A generator is designed to produce a maximum emf of 190 V while rotating with an angular speed of 3800 rpm. Each coil of the gen
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

The number of turns of wire needed is 573.8 turns

Explanation:

Given;

maximum emf of the generator, = 190 V

angular speed of the generator, ω = 3800 rev/min =

area of the coil, A = 0.016 m²

magnetic field, B = 0.052 T

The number of turns of the generator is calculated as;

emf = NABω

where;

N is the number of turns

\omega = 3800 \frac{rev}{min} \times \frac{2\pi}{1 \ rev} \times \frac{1 \min}{60 \ s } = 397.99 \ rad/s

N = \frac{emf}{AB\omega } \\\\N = \frac{190}{0.016 \times 0.052\times 397.99} \\\\N = 573.8 \ turns

Therefore, the number of turns of wire needed is 573.8 turns
