Two identical 7.10-gg metal spheres (small enough to be treated as particles) are hung from separate 700-mmmm strings attached t

o the same nail in a ceiling. Surplus electrons are added to each sphere, and then the spheres are brought in contact with each other and released. Their equilibrium position is such that each string makes a 17.0 ∘∘ angle with the vertical.How many surplus electrons are on each sphere?

Answer:

Explanation:

Let m be mass of each sphere and θ be angle, string makes with vertex in equilibrium.

Let T be tension in the hanging string

T cosθ = mg ( for balancing in vertical direction )

for balancing in horizontal direction

Tsinθ = F ( F is force of repulsion between two charges sphere)

Dividing the two equations

Tanθ = F / mg

tan17 = F / (7.1 x 10⁻³ x 9.8)

F = 21.27 x 10⁻³ N

if q be charge on each sphere , force of repulsion between the two

F = k q x q / r² ( r is distance between two sphere , r = 2 x .7 x sin17  = .41 m )

21.27 x 10⁻³  = (9 X 10⁹ x q²) / .41²

q² = .3973 x 10⁻¹²

q = .63 x 10⁻⁶ C

no of electrons required  = q / charge on a single electron

= .63 x 10⁻⁶ / 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹

= .39375 x 10¹³

3.9375 x 10¹² .

Jose is loading his luggage into his car so that he can go to visit his grandmother. He lifts his suitcase up a 10 m staircase i
maxonik [38]

Answer:

The work done on the suitcase is, W = 600 J

Explanation:

Given,

The average force exerted by Jose on his suitcase,  F = 60 N

Jose carried the suitcase to a distance, S = 10 m

The work done on the suitcase is given by the relation

                           <em>W = F x S</em>

Substituting the given values in the above equation,

                            W = 60 N x 10 m

                                 = 600 J

Hence, the work done on the suitcase is, W = 600 J

A toy car goes over a small ramp at a horizontal velocity of 1.21 m/s and decelerates at 0.131 m/s2 while in the air. The total
xz_007 [3.2K]
We need to considerate only the horizontal component of the motion of the toy car.

The formula for the distance in a decelerated motion is:
s = s₀ + v₀·t - 1/2·a·t²

where:
s₀ = initial position = 0
v₀ = initial velocity = 1.21 m/s
t = time elapsed = 0.342 s
a = deceleration = 0.131 m/s²

Plugging in numbers:
s = 0 + 1.21×0.342 - 0.5×0.141×(0.342)²
  = 0.406 m

Hence, the toy car traveled a distance of about 41 cm.
