There are two identical small metal spheres with charges 38.9 µC and −27.6399 µC. Thedistance between them is 6 cm. The spheres
Greeley [361]

Answer:

2683.3N

Explanation:

According to coulombs law which states that "the force of attraction existing between two charge q1 and q2 is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance (d) between them. Mathematically |F|= k|q1| |q2| /d² where;

F is the force of attraction between the charges

q1 and q2 are the charges

d is the distance between them

k is the coulombs constant

Given |q1|= 38.9 × 10^-6C and |q2| = 27.6399×10^-6C d = 6cm = 0.06m

k = 8.98755 × 109 Nm² /C²

Substituting the given data's in the equation we have;

|F| = 8.98755 × 10^9×38.9×10^-6×27.6399×10^-6/0.06²

|F| = 9.66/0.06²

|F| = 9.66/0.0036

|F| = 2683.3N

The magnitude of the force will be 2683.3N

Note that the modulus of the charges changes negative value of q2 to positive value. The opposite signs of the charges doesn't affect the final calculation, it only tells the force of attraction or repulsion between the charges. Since they are unlike charges, they will attract each other in the field.

a 2.0 kg ball is dropped from a height of 20 m onto a soft surface and rebounds to a height of 5.0 m . what is the magnitude of
Yuki888 [10]

Based on the data provided, the impulse of the floor on the ball is 59.4 Ns.

<h3>What is the impulse of the floor on the ball?</h3>

Using the equation of motion to determine the velocity at the end of the fall

  • v^2 = u^2 + 2gh

Where v is velocity at the end of fall

u is initial velocity = 0

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s^2

h is height = 20

  • Taking downward velocity as negative and up as positive

v^2 = 0 + 2 (9.81)(20)

v^2 = 392.4

v = - 19.8 m/s

The velocity, v after bouncing is calculated also:

u = 0

g = 9.81 m/s^2

h = 5.0 m

v^2 = 0 + 2(9.81)(5)

v^2 = 98.1

v = 9.904 m/s

  • Impulse = change in momentum
  • Impulse = m(v- u)

Impulse = 2.0 × (9.9 -(-19.8)

Impulse = 59.4 Ns

Therefore, the impulse of the floor on the ball is 59.4 Ns.

Several days after snowfall , the roofs of some homes on your street have almost no snow on them, while the roofs on other homes
Alina [70]

Explanation:

This due to thermal insulation of some of the roof.

An insulator is body is a poor conductor of heat and will require high thermal energy to cause temperature changes.

  • A house with a roof that is thermally insulated will have poor heat conduction.
  • Since little heat is conducted, there wont be enough thermal energy to melt the snow.
  • Thermal energy is directly related to heat.
  • A house that is not insulated will absorb a lot of heat.
  • This will cause the snow to melt very fast.

During which processes does the space between particles tend to increase
Sedaia [141]

Explanation:

In a solid, molecules are held together by strong intermolecular forces of attraction. As a result, they are unable to move from their initial place but they can vibrate at their mean position.  

Hence, in solid substances the molecules have low kinetic energy.

Whereas in liquids, the molecules are held by less strong intermolecular forces of attraction as compared to solids. Due to which they are able to slide past each other. Hence, they have medium kinetic energy.

In gases, the molecules are held by weak Vander waal forces. Hence, they have high kinetic energy due to which they move rapidly from one place to another leading to more number of collisions.  

Hence, gases are able to expand more rapidly as compared to liquids.

Therefore, we can conclude that in gaseous phase the space between particles tend to increase.
