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 .

A 0.500-kg glider, attached to the end of an ideal spring with force constant undergoes shm with an amplitude of 0.040 m. comput
Nikitich [7]
There is a missing data in the text of the problem (found on internet):
"with force constant<span> k=</span>450N/<span>m"

a) the maximum speed of the glider

The total mechanical energy of the mass-spring system is constant, and it is given by the sum of the potential and kinetic energy:
</span>E=U+K=  \frac{1}{2}kx^2 + \frac{1}{2} mv^2
<span>where
k is the spring constant
x is the displacement of the glider with respect to the spring equilibrium position
m is the glider mass
v is the speed of the glider at position x

When the glider crosses the equilibrium position, x=0 and the potential energy is zero, so the mechanical energy is just kinetic energy and the speed of the glider is maximum:
</span>E=K_{max} =  \frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2
<span>Vice-versa, when the glider is at maximum displacement (x=A, where A is the amplitude of the motion), its speed is zero (v=0), therefore the kinetic energy is zero and the mechanical energy is just potential energy:
</span>E=U_{max}= \frac{1}{2}k A^2
<span>
Since the mechanical energy must be conserved, we can write
</span>\frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2 =  \frac{1}{2}kA^2
<span>from which we find the maximum speed
</span>v_{max}= \sqrt{ \frac{kA^2}{m} }= \sqrt{ \frac{(450 N/m)(0.040 m)^2}{0.500 kg} }=  1.2 m/s
<span>
b) </span><span> the </span>speed<span> of the </span>glider<span> when it is at x= -0.015</span><span>m

We can still use the conservation of energy to solve this part. 
The total mechanical energy is:
</span>E=K_{max}=  \frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2= 0.36 J
<span>
At x=-0.015 m, there are both potential and kinetic energy. The potential energy is
</span>U= \frac{1}{2}kx^2 =  \frac{1}{2}(450 N/m)(-0.015 m)^2=0.05 J
<span>And since 
</span>E=U+K
<span>we find the kinetic energy when the glider is at this position:
</span>K=E-U=0.36 J - 0.05 J = 0.31 J
<span>And then we can find the corresponding velocity:
</span>K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2
v=  \sqrt{ \frac{2K}{m} }= \sqrt{ \frac{2 \cdot 0.31 J}{0.500 kg} }=1.11 m/s
<span>
c) </span><span>the magnitude of the maximum acceleration of the glider;
</span>
For a simple harmonic motion, the magnitude of the maximum acceleration is given by
a_{max} = \omega^2 A
where \omega= \sqrt{ \frac{k}{m} } is the angular frequency, and A is the amplitude.
The angular frequency is:
\omega =  \sqrt{ \frac{450 N/m}{0.500 kg} }=30 rad/s
and so the maximum acceleration is
a_{max} = \omega^2 A = (30 rad/s)^2 (0.040 m) =36 m/s^2

d) <span>the </span>acceleration<span> of the </span>glider<span> at x= -0.015</span><span>m

For a simple harmonic motion, the acceleration is given by
</span>a(t)=\omega^2 x(t)
<span>where x(t) is the position of the mass-spring system. If we substitute x(t)=-0.015 m, we find 
</span>a=(30 rad/s)^2 (-0.015 m)=-13.5 m/s^2
<span>
e) </span><span>the total mechanical energy of the glider at any point in its motion. </span><span>

we have already calculated it at point b), and it is given by
</span>E=K_{max}= \frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2= 0.36 J

Explain how the meanings of the terms biotic factor and abiotic factor differ ?
Stells [14]
Hi There!

Biotic factors are all the living things in an ecosystem, and abiotic factors are all of the non-living things in an ecosystem. So, they differ because they both mean opposite things.

Hope This Helps :)

A train travels 79 kilometers in 2 hours, and then 77 kilometers in 3 hours. What is its average speed?
koban [17]
Average speed=total distance traveled/time. Total distance=the sum of the two short distances=79*2+77*3=389 km. Total time used to travel is 2+3=5 hr. Average speed is 389/5=77.8 km/hr.

What type of energy is involved when a river moves sediment and erodes its banks?
ziro4ka [17]
<span>First question: The type of energy involved when a river moves sediment and erodes its banks is: option d. Kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is the energy associated with motion. A body (in this case the water) that moves has an energy associated with its motion that is proportional to the speed (exactly to the square of the speed). When the water collides with the banks it is the kinetic energy of the river that erodes it Second question: the answer is the option d. As gravity pulls water down a slope potential energy changes to knietic energy. This is the, water loses altitude and gains velocity. The potential energy. which is proportional to the height, decreases and the kinetic energy, which is proportional to the square of the speed, increases.</span>

another way, speed is a scalar value, while reloolg isa Which ONE of the following represents a toy car that moves at a higher a
erica [24]

Car  A will have highest speed is 83.3m/s .

<h3>What is speed ? </h3>

The rate of change of position of an object in any direction.

The S.I unit is m/s . Speed is a scalar quantity it defines only magnitude not direction

.

speed = distance /time

In case of Car A ,

We have given distance 150Km in 3 min ,

First we have convert the distance km to m

150×1000m

then conversion of min to sec

 38×60sec

speed = 15000/180

speed = 83.3m/sec

In case of Car B

we have given 800m in 150 min

lets convert the time into second

150×60

Speed = 800/150×60

speed = 0.88m/ s

In case of Car C

We have given here distance 250 Km and time in 8 hours

convert km to m

25000

and time into sec

88×60×60

speed = 0.86m/ s



Hence ,Car A has highest speed amongst them .
