Two point charges are separated by 6 cm. The attractive force between them is 20 N. Find the force between them when they are se

parated by 12 cm. (Why can you solve this problem without knowing the magnitudes of the charges?)

Answer:

5 N

Explanation:

$F_1$ = 20 N

$r_1$ = 6 cm

$r_2$ = 12 cm

k = Coulomb constat

q = Charge

$\dfrac{F_1}{F_2}=\dfrac{\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r_1^2}}{\dfrac{kq_2q_2}{r_2^2}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{F_1}{F_2}=\dfrac{r_2^2}{r_1^2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{F_1}{F_2}=\dfrac{12^2}{6^2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{F_1}{F_2}=4\\\Rightarrow F_2=\dfrac{F_1}{4}\\\Rightarrow F_2=\dfrac{20}{4}\\\Rightarrow F_2=5\ N$

The force is 5 N

A lab assistant drops a 400.0-g piece of metal at 100.0°C into a 100.0-g aluminum cup containing 500.0 g of water at In a few mi

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

2274 J/kg ∙ K

Explanation:

The complete statement of the question is :

A lab assistant drops a 400.0-g piece of metal at 100.0°C into a 100.0-g aluminum cup containing 500.0 g of water at 15 °C. In a few minutes, she measures the final temperature of the system to be 40.0°C. What is the specific heat of the 400.0-g piece of metal, assuming that no significant heat is exchanged with the surroundings? The specific heat of this aluminum is 900.0 J/kg ∙ K and that of water is 4186 J/kg ∙ K.

$m_{m}$ = mass of metal = 400 g

$c_{m}$ = specific heat of metal = ?

$T_{mi}$ = initial temperature of metal = 100 °C

$m_{a}$ = mass of aluminum cup = 100 g

$c_{a}$ = specific heat of aluminum cup = 900.0 J/kg ∙ K

$T_{ai}$ = initial temperature of aluminum cup = 15 °C

$m_{w}$ = mass of water = 500 g

$c_{w}$ = specific heat of water = 4186 J/kg ∙ K

$T_{wi}$ = initial temperature of water = 15 °C

$T$ = Final equilibrium temperature = 40 °C

Using conservation of energy

heat lost by metal = heat gained by aluminum cup + heat gained by water

$m_{m} c_{m} (T_{mi} - T) = m_{a} c_{a} (T - T_{ai}) + m_{w} c_{w} (T - T_{wi} ) \\(400) (100 - 40) c_{m} = (100) (900) (40- 15) + (500) (4186) (40 - 15)\\ c_{m} = 2274 Jkg^{-1}K^{-1}$

Shawn and his bike have a total mass of

Trava [24]

Answer:

Shawn's kinetic energy is 61.45 J.

Explanation:

Given;

Mass of the system is, $m=52.3\ kg$

Displacement of the bike is, $d=1.6\ km=1.6\times 1000=1600\ m$

Time taken is, $t=17.4\ min=17.4\times 60=1044\ s$

Let the constant velocity be $v$ .

For constant velocity, magnitude of velocity is given as distance by time.

Therefore, $v=\frac{d}{t}=\frac{1600}{1044}=1.533\ m/s$

Now, kinetic energy of a body is given as:

$KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Here, $m=52.3\ kg,\ v=1.533\ m/s$

$\therefore KE=\frac{1}{2}\times 52.3\times (1.533)^2\\KE=0.5\times 52.3\times 2.35\\KE=61.45\ J$

Therefore, Shawn's kinetic energy is 61.45 J.

A disk rotates about its central axis starting from rest and accelerates with constant angular acceleration. At one time it is r

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial angular velocity is 0

ωo=0rad/s

It has angular velocity of 11rev/sec

ωi=11rev/sec

1rev=2πrad

Then, wi=11rev/sec ×2πrad

wi=22πrad/sec

And after 30 revolution

θ=30revolution

θ=30×2πrad

θ=60πrad

Final angular velocity is

ωf=18rev/sec

ωf=18×2πrad/sec

ωf=36πrad/sec

a. Angular acceleration(α)

Then, angular acceleration is given as

wf²=wi²+2αθ

(36π)²=(22π)²+2α×60π

(36π)²-(22π)²=120πα

Then, 120πα = 8014.119

α=8014.119/120π

α=21.26 rad/s²

Let. convert to revolution /sec²

α=21.26/2π

α=3.38rev/sec

b. Time Taken to complete 30revolution

θ=60πrad

∆θ= ½(wf+wi)•t

60π=½(36π+22π)t

60π×2=58πt

Then, t=120π/58π

t=2.07seconds

c. Time to reach 11rev/sec

wf=wo+αt

22π=0+21.26t

22π=21.26t

Then, t=22π/21.26

t=3.251seconds

d. Number of revolution to get to 11rev/s

∆θ= ½(wf+wo)•t

∆θ= ½(0+11)•3.251

∆θ= ½(11)•3.251

∆θ= 17.88rev.
