Two small spheres with mass 10 gm and charge q, are suspended from a point by threads of length L=0.22m. What is the charge on e
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

q=1.95*10^{-7}C

Explanation:

According to the free-body diagram of the system, we have:

\sum F_y: Tcos(15^\circ)-mg=0(1)\\\sum F_x: Tsin(15^\circ)-F_e=0(2)

So, we can solve for T from (1):

T=\frac{mg}{cos(15^\circ)}(3)

Replacing (3) in (2):

(\frac{mg}{cos(15^\circ)})sin(15^\circ)=F_e

The electric force (F_e) is given by the Coulomb's law. Recall that the charge q is the same in both spheres:

(\frac{mg}{cos(15^\circ)})sin(15^\circ)=\frac{kq^2}{r^2}(4)

According to pythagoras theorem, the distance of separation (r) of the spheres are given by:

sin(15^\circ)=\frac{\frac{r}{2}}{L}\\r=2Lsin(15^\circ)(5)

Finally, we replace (5) in (4) and solving for q:

mgtan(15^\circ)=\frac{kq^2}{(2Lsin(15^\circ))^2}\\q=\sqrt{\frac{mgtan(15^\circ)(2Lsin(15^\circ))^2}{k}}\\q=\sqrt{\frac{10*10^{-3}kg(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})tan(15^\circ)(2(0.22m)sin(15^\circ))^2}{8.98*10^{9}\frac{N\cdot m^2}{C^2}}}\\q=1.95*10^{-7}C

Illustrates an Atwood's machine. Let the masses of blocks A and B be 7.00 kg and 3.00 kg , respectively, the moment of inertia o
Harman [31]

Answer:  

A) 1.55  

B) 1.55

C) 12.92

D) 34.08

E)  57.82

Explanation:  

The free body diagram attached, R is the radius of the wheel  

Block B is lighter than block A so block A will move upward while A downward with the same acceleration. Since no snipping will occur, the wheel rotates in clockwise direction.  

At the centre of the whee, torque due to B is given by  

{\tau _2} = - {T_{\rm{B}}}R  

Similarly, torque due to A is given by  

{\tau _1} = {T_{\rm{A}}}R  

The sum of torque at the pivot is given by  

\tau = {\tau _1} + {\tau _2}  

Replacing {\tau _1} and {\tau _2} by {T_{\rm{A}}}R and - {T_{\rm{B}}}R respectively yields  

\begin{array}{c}\\\tau = {T_{\rm{A}}}R - {T_{\rm{B}}}R\\\\ = \left( {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right)R\\\end{array}  

Substituting I\alpha for \tau in the equation \tau = \left( {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right)R  

I\alpha=\left( {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right)R  

\frac{I\alpha}{R} =\left {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right  

The angular acceleration of the wheel is given by \alpha = \frac{a}{R}  

where a is the linear acceleration  

Substituting \frac{a}{R} for \alpha into equation  

\frac{I\alpha}{R} =\left {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right we obtain  

\frac{Ia}{R^2} =\left {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right  

Net force on block A is  

{F_{\rm{A}}} = {m_{\rm{A}}}g - {T_{\rm{A}}}  

Net force on block B is  

{F_{\rm{B}}} = {T_{\rm{B}}} - {m_{\rm{B}}}g  

Where g is acceleration due to gravity  

Substituting {m_{\rm{B}}}a and {m_{\rm{A}}}a for {F_{\rm{B}}} and {F_{\rm{A}}} respectively into equation \frac{Ia}{R^2} =\left {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right and making a the subject we obtain  

\begin{array}{c}\\{m_{\rm{A}}}g - {m_{\rm{A}}}a - \left( {{m_{\rm{B}}}g + {m_{\rm{B}}}a} \right) = \frac{{Ia}}{{{R^2}}}\\\\\left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} - {m_{\rm{B}}}} \right)g - \left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} + {m_{\rm{B}}}} \right)a = \frac{{Ia}}{{{R^2}}}\\\\\left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} + {m_{\rm{B}}} + \frac{I}{{{R^2}}}} \right)a = \left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} - {m_{\rm{B}}}} \right)g\\\\a = \frac{{\left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} - {m_{\rm{B}}}} \right)g}}{{\left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} + {m_{\rm{B}}} + \frac{I}{{{R^2}}}} \right)}}\\\end{array}  

Since {m_{\rm{B}}} = 3kg and {m_{\rm{B}}} = 7kg  

g=9.81 and R=0.12m, I=0.22{\rm{ kg}} \cdot {{\rm{m}}^2}  

Substituting these we obtain  

a = \frac{{\left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} - {m_{\rm{B}}}} \right)g}}{{\left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} + {m_{\rm{B}}} + \frac{I}{{{R^2}}}} \right)}}  

\begin{array}{c}\\a = \frac{{\left( {7{\rm{ kg}} - 3{\rm{ kg}}} \right)\left( {9.81{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}} \right)}}{{\left( {7{\rm{ kg}} + 3{\rm{ kg}} + \frac{{0.22{\rm{ kg/}}{{\rm{m}}^2}}}{{{{\left( {0.120{\rm{ m}}} \right)}^2}}}} \right)}}\\\\ = 1.55235{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}\\\end{array}

Therefore, the linear acceleration of block A is 1.55 {\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}

(B)

For block B

{a_{\rm{B}}} = {a_{\rm{A}}}

Therefore, the acceleration of both blocks A and B are same

1.55 {\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}

(C)

The angular acceleration is \alpha = \frac{a}{R}

\begin{array}{c}\\\alpha = \frac{{1.55{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}}}{{0.120{\rm{ m}}}}\\\\ = 12.92{\rm{ rad/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}\\\end{array}

(D)

Tension on left side of cord is calculated using

\begin{array}{c}\\{T_{\rm{B}}} = {m_{\rm{B}}}g + {m_{\rm{B}}}a\\\\ = {m_{\rm{B}}}\left( {g + a} \right)\\\end{array}

\begin{array}{c}\\{T_{\rm{B}}} = \left( {3{\rm{ kg}}} \right)\left( {9.81{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2} + 1.55{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}} \right)\\\\ = 34.08{\rm{ N}}\\\end{array}

(E)

Tension on right side of cord is calculated using

\begin{array}{c}\\{T_{\rm{A}}} = {m_{\rm{A}}}g - {m_{\rm{A}}}a\\\\ = {m_{\rm{A}}}\left( {g - a} \right)\\\end{array}

\begin{array}{c}\\{T_{\rm{A}}} = \left( {7{\rm{ kg}}} \right)\left( {9.81{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2} – 1.55{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}} \right)\\\\ = 57.82{\rm{ N}}\\\end{array}

The prediction that alcohol slows reaction time is:_________.
ddd [48]

Answer:

b) directional

Explanation:

The prediction that alcohol slows reaction time is Directional . This is because for alcohol to be known as one which slows reaction time means there have been various hypothesis conducted which supports this.

In this case, formulation of a null hypothesis is usually necessary which means that alcohol does not slow reaction time and another alternative hypothesis that suggests that alcohol slows reaction time.

What happened to the weight of an object when it is taken from Earth to the Moon? why?<br>​
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

the weight of the object decreases when it is taken from the Earth to the Moon

Explanation:

The weight of an object is defined as the product of the mass of the object with the acceleration due to gravity of the Planet.

W =mg

where,

W = weight of the object

m = mass of the object

g = acceleration due to gravity on the planet

The mass of an object remains constant everywhere in the universe. Therefore, the weight is directly proportional to the value of acceleration due to gravity.

The value of acceleration due to gravity on the Moon is lesser than its value on the Earth.

<u>Hence, the weight of the object decreases when it is taken from the Earth to the Moon </u>
