Two objects carry initial charges that are q1 and q2, respectively, where |q2| > |q1|. They are located 0.160 m apart and beh

ave like point charges. They attract each other with a force that has a magnitude of 1.30 N. The objects are then brought into contact, so the net charge is shared equally, and then they are returned to their initial positions. Now it is found that the objects repel one another with a force whose magnitude is equal to the magnitude of the initial attractive force. What are the magnitudes of the initial charges on the objects?

Answer:

\rm |q_1|=8.0\times 10^{-7}\ C,\ \ \ |q_2| = 4.6\times 10^{-6}\ C.

Explanation:

According to the Coulomb's law, the magnitude of the electrostatic force between two static point charges  \rm q_1 and \rm q_1, separated by a distance \rm r, is given by

\rm F = \dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}.

where k is the Coulomb's constant.

Initially,

\rm r = 0.160\ m\\F_i = -1.30\ N.\\\\and \ \ |q_2|>|q_1|.

The negative sign is taken with force F because the force is attractive.

Therefore, the initial electrostatic force between the charges is given by

\rm F_i = \dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}.\\-1.30=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{0.160^2}\\\rm\Rightarrow q_2 = \dfrac{-1.30\times 0.160^2}{q_1k}\ \ \ ..............\ (1).

Now, the objects are then brought into contact, so the net charge is shared equally, and then they are returned to their initial positions.

The force is now repulsive, therefore, \rm F_f = +1.30\ N.

The new charges on the two objects are

\rm q_1'=q_2' = \dfrac{q_1+q_2}{2}.

The new force is given by

\rm F_f = \dfrac{kq_1'q_2'}{r^2}\\+1.30=\dfrac{k\left (\dfrac{q_1+q_2}{2}\right )\left (\dfrac{q_1+q_2}{2}\right )}{0.160^2}\\\Rightarrow \left (\dfrac{q_1+q_2}{2}\right )^2=\dfrac{+1.30\times 0.160^2}{k}\\(q_1+q_2)^2=\dfrac{4\times 1.30\times 0.160^2}{k}\\q_1^2+q_2^2+2q_1q_2=\dfrac{4\times 1.30\times 0.160^2}{k}\\\\

Using (1),

\rm q_1^2+\left ( \dfrac{-1.30\times 0.160^2}{q_1k}\right )^2+2\left (\dfrac{-1.30\times 0.160^2}{k} \right )=\dfrac{4\times 1.30\times 0.160^2}{k}\\q_1^2+\dfrac 1{q_1^2}\left ( \dfrac{-1.30\times 0.160^2}{k}\right )^2-\left (\dfrac{6\times 1.30\times 0.160^2}{k} \right )=0\\q_1^4+\left ( \dfrac{-1.30\times 0.160^2}{k}\right )^2-q_1^2\left (\dfrac{6\times 1.30\times 0.160^2}{k} \right )=0

\rm q_1^4+\left ( \dfrac{-1.30\times 0.160^2}{k}\right )^2-q_1^2\left (\dfrac{6\times 1.30\times 0.160^2}{k} \right )=0\\q_1^4+\left ( \dfrac{-1.30\times 0.160^2}{9\times 10^9}\right )^2-q_1^2\left (\dfrac{6\times 1.30\times 0.160^2}{9\times 10^9} \right )=0\\q_1^4-q_1^2\left (\dfrac{6\times 1.30\times 0.160^2}{9\times 10^9} \right )+\left ( \dfrac{-1.30\times 0.160^2}{9\times 10^9}\right )^2=0

\rm q_1^4-q_1^2\left (2.22\times 10^{-11} \right )+\left ( 1.37\times 10^{-23}\right ) =0\\\Rightarrow q_1^2 = \dfrac{-(-2.22\times 10^{-11})\pm \sqrt{(-2.22\times 10^{-11})^2-4\cdot (1)\cdot (1.37\times 10^{-23})}}{2}\\=1.11\times 10^{-11}\pm 1.046\times 10^{-11}.\\=6.4\times 10^{-13}\ \ \ or\ \ \ 2.156\times 10^{-11}\\\Rightarrow q_1 = \pm 8.00\times 10^{-7}\ C\ \ \ or\ \ \ \pm 4.64\times 10^{-6}\ C.

Using (1),

When \rm q_1 = \pm 8.00\times 10^{-7}\ C,

\rm q_2=\dfrac{-1.30\times 0.160^2}{\pm 8.00\times 10^{-7}\times 9\times 10^9}=\mp4.6\times 10^{-6}\ C.

When \rm q_1=\pm 4.6\times 10^{-6}\ C,

\rm q_2=\dfrac{-1.30\times 0.160^2}{\pm 4.64\times 10^{-6}\times 9\times 10^9}=\mp7.97\times 10^{-7}\ C\approx 8.0\times 10^{-7}\ C.

Since, \rm |q_2|>|q_1|

Therefore, \rm |q_1|=8.0\times 10^{-7}\ C,\ \ \ |q_2| = 4.6\times 10^{-6}\ C.

A wheel starts from rest and has an angular acceleration that is given by α (t) = (6.0 rad/s4)t2. After it has turned through 10
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

75 rad/s

Explanation:

The angular acceleration is the time rate of change of angular velocity. It is given by the formula:

α(t) = d/dt[ω(t)]

Hence: ω(t) = ∫a(t) dt

Also, angular velocity is the time rate of change of displacement. It is given by:

ω(t) = d/dt[θ(t)]

θ(t) = ∫w(t) dt

θ(t) = ∫∫α(t) dtdt

Given that: α (t) = (6.0 rad/s4)t² = 6t² rad/s⁴. Hence:

θ(t) = ∫∫α(t) dtdt

θ(t) = ∫∫6t² dtdt =∫[∫6t² dt]dt

θ(t) = ∫[2t³]dt = t⁴/2 rad

θ(t) = t⁴/2 rad

At θ(t) = 10 rev = (10 *  2π) rad = 20π rad, we can find t:

20π = t⁴/2

40π = t⁴

t = ⁴√40π

t = 3.348 s

ω(t) = ∫α(t) dt = ∫6t² dt = 2t³

ω(t) = 2t³

ω(3.348) = 2(3.348)³ = 75 rad/s
