Two blocks, A and B, are connected by a rope. A second rope is connected to block B and a steady, horizontal tension force of T

is applied. The system moves at a constant speed across the ground. Block B experiences a friction force of f.T = 50N f = 10N
What is friction force acting on block A?

Answer:

40 N

Explanation:

We are given that

Speed of system is constant

Therefore, acceleration=a=0

Tension applied on block B=T=50 N

Friction force=f=10 N

We have to find the friction force acting on block A.

Let T' be the tension in string connecting block A and block B and friction force on block A be f'.

For Block B

T-f-T'=m_Ba

Where m_B=Mass of block B

Substitute the values

50-10-T'=m_B\times 0=0

T'==40 N

For block A

T'-f'=m_Aa

Where m_A=Mass of block A

Substitute the values

40-f'=m_A\times 0=0

f'=40 N

Hence, the friction force acting on block A=40 N

Eddi Din [679]

Explanation:

For a charge concentrated nearly at a point, the electric field is directly proportional to the amount of charge; it is inversely proportional to the square of the distance radially away from the centre of the source charge and depends also upon the nature of the medium.

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

The radius of the gold nucleus is 7.1x10⁻¹⁵m

Explanation:

The nearest distance is:

r=\frac{kze^{2} }{mpV^{2} } (eq. 1)

Where

z = atomic number of gold = 79

e = electron charge = 1.6x10⁻¹⁹C

k = electrostatic constant = 9x10⁹Nm²C²

energy of the particle = 32 MeV = 5.12x10⁻¹²J

At the potential energy is zero, all the energy will be kinetic energy:

E_{k} =\frac{1}{2} m V^{2}

Where

m = 4 mp = mass of proton

5.12x10^{-12} =\frac{1}{2} *4*m_{p}* V^{2} \\m_{p}* V^{2} = 2.56x10^{-12}

Replacing in equation 1

r=\frac{9x10^{9}*79*(1.6x10^{-19})^{2}   }{2.56x10^{-12} } =7.1x10^{-15} m

Coulomb measured the deflection of sphere A when spheres A and B had equal charges and were a distance d apart. He then made the
sdas [7]

Answer:

The new distance is     d = 0.447 d₀

Explanation:

The electric out is given by Coulomb's Law

         F = k q₁ q₂ / r²

This electric force is in balance with tension.

We reduce the charge of sphere B to 1/5 of its initial value (q_{B}=q₂ = q₂ / 5) than new distance (d = n d₀)

dat

     q₁ = q_{A}

     q₂ = q_{B}

     r = d₀

In order for the deviation to maintain the electric force it should not change, so we apply the Coulomb equation for the two points

         F = k q₁ q₂ / d₀²

         F = k q₁ (q₂ / 5) / (n d₀)²

         .k q₁ q₂ / d₀² = q₁ q₂ / (5 n² d₀²)

          5 n² = 1

          n = √ 1/5

          n = 0.447

The new distance is

         d = 0.447 d₀
