Answer: 4.9 N

Explanation:

Weight W is the force that gravity exerts on matter and changes depending on where the body is located. This means, the weight of an object on Earth will not be the same as the weight of the same object on the Moon or on Mars.

Well, in the case of Galileo, he performed his experiment on Earth. Hence, the acceleration due gravity is g=9.8 m/s^{2}.

In addition, weight is mathematically expressed as:

W=m.g

Where m=5 kg is the mass of the ball

Solving the equation:

W=(5 kg)(9.8 m/s^{2})

W=4.9 N This is the weight of the ball

"a musical tone sounded on a piano has a frequency of 261.6 hz and a wavelength of 1.31 m. what is the speed of the sound wave
Andreyy89
To solve this question, we use the wave equation which is:
C=f*λ
where:
C is the speed;
f is the frequency;
λ is the wavelength
So in this case, plugging in our values in the problem. This will give us:
C = 261.6Hz × 1.31m
= 342.696 m/s is the answer.

Consider an insulating sphere of radius 6 cm surrounded by a conducting sphere of inner radius 18 cm and outer radius 26 cm. Fur
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

-1.7908787542\times 10^{-9}\ C

3.4260289211\times 10^{-9}\ C

1.7908787542\times 10^{-9}\ C

1.6351501669\times 10^{-9}\ C

Explanation:

r = Radius

k = Coulomb constant = 8.99\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2

Electric field is given by

E=-\dfrac{kq}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow q=-\dfrac{Er^2}{k}\\\Rightarrow q=-\dfrac{1610\times 0.1^2}{8.99\times 10^9}\\\Rightarrow q=-1.7908787542\times 10^{-9}\ C

The charge is -1.7908787542\times 10^{-9}\ C

Q+q=\dfrac{Er^2}{k}\\\Rightarrow Q=\dfrac{Er^2}{k}-q\\\Rightarrow Q=\dfrac{120\times 0.35^2}{8.99\times 10^9}-(-1.7908787542\times 10^{-9})\\\Rightarrow Q=3.4260289211\times 10^{-9}\ C

The charge is 3.4260289211\times 10^{-9}\ C

The charge inside will have the polarity changed

q=+1.7908787542\times 10^{-9}\ C

Outside the charge will be

3.4260289211\times 10^{-9}-1.7908787542\times 10^{-9}\\ =1.6351501669\times 10^{-9}\ C

1. The illuminance on a surface is 6 lux and the surface is 4 meters from the light source. What is the intensity of the source?
Crank

<u>Answer</u>

1) A. 96 Candelas

2) A. Both of these types of lenses have the ability to produce upright images.

3) C. 5 meters


<u>Explanation</u>

Q1

The formula for calculation the luminous intensity is;

Luminous intensity = illuminance × square radius

Lv = Ev × r²

= 6 × 4²

= 6 × 16

= 96 Candelabra

Q2

For converging lenses, an upright image is formed when the object is between the lens and the principal focus while a diverging lens always forms and upright image.

A. Both of these types of lenses have the ability to produce upright images.

Q3

Luminous intensity = illuminance × square radius

square radius = Luminous intensity/ illuminance

r² = 100/4

= 25

r = √25

= 5 m

Two 4.0 kg masses are 1.0 m apart on a frictionless table. Each has 1.0 μC of charge.What is the magnitude of the electric force
xeze [42]

Coulomb's law:

  Force = (<span>8.99×10⁹ N m² / C²<span>) · (charge₁) · (charge₂) / distance²

            = (</span></span><span>8.99×10⁹ N m² / C²<span>) (1 x 10⁻⁶ C) (1 x 10⁻⁶ C)  / (1.0 m)²

            = (8.99×10⁹ x 1×10⁻¹² / 1.0)  N

            =      8.99×10⁻³  N

            =        0.00899 N repelling.

Notice that there's a lot of information in the question that you don't need.
It's only there to distract you, confuse you, and see whether you know
what to ignore.

-- '4.0 kg masses';  don't need it. 
   Mass has no effect on the electric force between them.

-- 'frictionless table';  don't need it.
   Friction has no effect on the force between them,
only on how they move in response to the force.
