A metal rod A and a metal sphere B, on insulating stands, touch each other. They are originally neutral. A positively charged ro

d is brought near (but not touching) the far end of A. While the charged rod is still close, A and B are separated. The charged rod is then withdrawn. Is the sphere then positively charged, negatively charged, or neutral?

Answer:

The sphere is positively charged

Explanation:

This is because when the positively charged rod is brought near the metal rod A, the electrons in metal rod A and sphere B are attracted towards it into metal rod A while the positive charges in the are repelled into sphere B. So, when the charged rod is withdrawn, and metal rod A and sphere B are separated, metal rod A is now negatively charged, but sphere B is positively charged.

So, sphere B is positively charged.

A cannon shoots a ball at an angle θ above the horizontal ground. (a) Neglecting air resistance, use Newton's second law to find
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

a)  x = v₀ₓ t ,  y = v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

Explanation:

This is a projectile launch problem, let's use Newton's second law on each axis

X axis

       F = m a

Since there is no acceleration on the x axis, the force on this axis is zero

Y Axis  

       -W = m a_{y}

       -m g = m a_{y}  

       a_{y}  = -g

In this axis the acceleration is the acceleration of gravity

Now we can use science to find the position of the body on each axis

X axis

       x = v₀ₓ t + ½ a  t²

As the acceleration on this axis is zero

      x = v₀ₓ t

Y Axis

       y = v_{oy} t + ½ a_{y}  t²

The acceleration on this axis is –g

        y = v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

B) to find the maximum value of distance r

        r =√ x² + y²

        r = √( v₀ₓ² t² + (v_{oy} t + ½ g t²)²

We can find the maximum value of r using time respect derivatives

      dr / dt = 0

      0 = ½ 1/√( v₀ₓ² t² + (v_{oy} t + ½ g t²)²    (v₀ₓ² 2t + 2 (v_{oy} t - ½ g t²)(v_{oy} - ½ g2t)

We simplify this expression

         0 = v₀ₓ² 2t + 2 (v_{oy} t - ½ g t²)  (v_{oy} - ½ g2t)

       -v₀ₓ² t =( v_{oy} t - ½ g t²)  (v_{oy} - ½ g2t)  

      -v₀ₓ² t = v_{oy}² t -3/2 gt² v_{oy} + 1/2 g² t³  

       ½ g² t²- 3/2 g v_{oy} t  = v_{oy}² + v₀ₓ²

Let's use trigonometry to find go and vox

         sin θ = v_{oy} / v₀

         cos θ = vox / v₀

         v_{oy} = v₀ sin θ

        v₀ₓ = v₀ cos θ

We replace

         ½ g² t² -3/2 g v_{oy} t = v₀ (sin² θ +  cos² θ)

          g t² - 3v₀ sin θ t = 2 v₀/g

 

The time is maximum for the angle is zero

N in-ground swimming pool has the dimensions shown in the drawing. It is filled with water to a uniform depth of 3.00 m. The den
Doss [256]

Answer:

The pressure is  P = 1.31*10^{5} \ Pa

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The depth of the swimming pool is  d =  3.00 \  m

     The density of water is  \rho = 1.00*10^{3} \  kg /m^3

Generally the  total pressure exerted on the bottom of the swimming pool is mathematically represented as

          P = P_o + \rho * g * h

Here P_o is the atmospheric pressure with value

        P_o  =  101325 \  Pa

So

        P = 101325 + [1000 * 9.8 * 3]

=>     P = 130725 \ Pa

=>    P = 1.31*10^{5} \ Pa

At takeoff, the horizontal and vertical velocity of long jumper are 57.8 m/s and 5.6 m/s respectively. What is the resultant vel
Lady bird [3.3K]

Apply the Pythagorean theorem to get the resultant velocity:

V = \sqrt{Vx^{2}+Vy^{2}}

Given values:

Vx = 57.8m/s

Vy = 5.6m/s

Plug in and solve for V:

V = 58.1m/s

EDIT: Let's get the direction of the resultant velocity as well.

This equation will give the angle of the velocity as measured off of the ground:

θ = tan⁻¹(Vy/Vx)

Again, the given values are:

Vx = 57.8m/s

Vy = 5.6m/s

Plug in the values and solve for the angle θ:

θ = tan⁻¹(5.6/57.8)

θ = 5.5°

The resultant velocity is oriented 5.5° off the ground.

The photometer is a device that converts light to voltage which is read out by the digital multimeter (DMM). This is due to the
Serjik [45]

Answer:

Option B

It converts light into electric current

Explanation:

A photometer is a device used to measure illuminance

Its principle of operation hinges on the conversion of light into electric current, using photoresistor or any other light sensitive device such as  a photodiode.  This is so that it can be read off easily by any other device.

A Photoresistor is a device that changes the flow of current through it when it is exposed to light rays.  A photometer works by irradiating a photo resistor, which then converts the light rays incident on it to electric current.
