Answer:

A)   V = -136.36 V , B)  V = 4.85 10³ V , C)  V = 1.62 10⁴ V

Explanation:

To calculate the potential at an external point of the spheres we use Gauss's law that the charge can be considered at the center of the sphere, therefore the potential for an external point is

          V = k ∑ q_{i} / r_{i}

where q_{i} and r_{i} are the loads and the point distances.

A) We apply this equation to our case

          V = k (q₁ / r₁ + q₂ / r₂)

They ask us for the potential at the midpoint of separation

         r = 3.30 / 2 = 1.65 m

this distance is much greater than the radius of the spheres

let's calculate

         V = 9 10⁹ (1.1 10⁻⁸ / 1.65  + (-3.6 10⁻⁸) / 1.65)

         V = 9 10¹ / 1.65 (1.10 - 3.60)

         V = -136.36 V

B) The potential at the surface sphere A

r₂ is the distance of sphere B above the surface of sphere A

              r₂ = 3.30 -0.02 = 3.28 m

              r₁ = 0.02 m

we calculate

             V = 9 10⁹ (1.1 10⁻⁸ / 0.02  - 3.6 10⁻⁸ / 3.28)

             V = 9 10¹ (55 - 1,098)

             V = 4.85 10³ V

C) The potential on the surface of sphere B

      r₂ = 0.02 m

      r₁ = 3.3 -0.02 = 3.28 m

      V = 9 10⁹ (1.10 10⁻⁸ / 3.28  - 3.6 10⁻⁸ / 0.02)

       V = 9 10¹ (0.335 - 180)

       V = 1.62 10⁴ V

Please answer ASAP for brainliest
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Question #1- Scientists agree to a standard way of reporting measured quantities in which the number of reported digits reflects the precision in the measurement- more digits, more precision; less digits, less precision. You just studied 14 terms!

Question #2-  Units are important because without proper measurement and units to express them, we can never express physical laws precisely just from qualitative reasoning. Units are incredibly important to physics. Two of the most important reasons are the following: (1) they help us. to avoid making mistakes in computation, and (2) they serve as a check on computations once they are completed. In the first case, you can avoid adding 3m and 25cm and coming up with the wrong answer.

Explanation: Hope this helps please mark brainliest!

How much force is needed to accelerate a 1-kilogram toy car at a rate of 2 meters per second per second?
kozerog [31]
F = ma,    where m = mass in kg, a = acceleration in m/s², F = Force in Newton

F = 1 * 2

F = 2 N

Two objects having masses m1 and m2 are connected to each other as shown in the figure and are released from rest. There is no f
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:m_1g

Explanation:

Given

Two masses m_1  and m_2  is released and there is tension T in the string

Suppose a is the acceleration of the system

Therefore from Diagram

For m_1

T-m_1g=m_1a

T=m_1(g+a)------1

for m_2 body

m_2g-T=m_2a

T=m_2(g-a)-------2

From above two Equation it is said that Tension is greater than m_1g and less than m_2g

m_1g

"Determine the magnitude of the net force of gravity acting on the Moon during an eclipse when it is directly between Earth and
spayn [35]

Answer:

Net force = 2.3686 × 10^(20) N

Explanation:

To solve this, we have to find the force of the earth acting on the moon and the force of the sun acting on the moon and find the difference.

Now, from standards;

Mass of earth;M_e = 5.98 × 10^(24) kg

Mass of moon;M_m = 7.36 × 10^(22) kg

Mass of sun;M_s = 1.99 × 10^(30) kg

Distance between the sun and earth;d_se = 1.5 × 10^(11) m

Distance between moon and earth;d_em = 3.84 × 10^(8) m

Distance between sun and moon;d_sm = (1.5 × 10^(11)) - (3.84 × 10^(8)) = 1496.96 × 10^(8) m

Gravitational constant;G = 6.67 × 10^(-11) Nm²/kg²

Now formula for gravitational force between the earth and the moon is;

F_em = (G × M_e × M_m)/(d_em)²

Plugging in relevant values, we have;

F_em = (6.67 × 10^(-11) × 5.98 × 10^(24) × 7.36 × 10^(22))/(3.84 × 10^(8))²

F_em = 1.9909 × 10^(20) N

Similarly, formula for gravitational force between the sun and moon is;

F_sm = (G × M_s × M_m)/(d_sm)²

Plugging in relevant values, we have;

F_se = (6.67 × 10^(-11) × 1.99 × 10^(30) ×

7.36 × 10^(22))/(1496.96 × 10^(8))²

F_se = 4.3595 × 10^(20) N

Thus, net force = F_se - F_em

Net force = (4.3595 × 10^(20) N) - (1.9909 × 10^(20) N) = 2.3686 × 10^(20) N
