when an object is charged by contact, how does the kind of charge transferred compare to that on the object giving the charge?

1 answer:

8 0

Lets say sphere 1 has a charge of 12 + and sphere 2 has a charge of 0 +. After they are touched Sphere 1 becomes 6 + and sphere 2 6 +. So 6 - 12 = a change of 6 -, while 6 - 0 = a change of 6 + Therfore,

Answer: The sign of the charge change / transfered are opposites.

A car with a mass of 1.50x10^3 kg starts from rest and accelerates to a speed of 18.0m/s in 12.0 s. assume that the force of res

Luden [163]

The first thing you should know for this case is the definition of distance.
d = v * t
Where,
v = speed
t = time
We have then:
d = v * t
d = 9 * 12 = 108 m
The kinetic energy is:
K = ½mv²
Where,
m: mass
v: speed
K = ½ * 1500 * (18) ² = 2.43 * 10 ^ 5 J
The work due to friction is
w = F * d
Where,
F = Force
d = distance:
w = 400 * 108 = 4.32 * 10 ^ 4
The power will be:
P = (K + work) / t
Where,
t: time
P = 2.86 * 10 ^ 5/12 = 23.9 kW
answer:
the average power developed by the engine is 23.9 kW

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

the moment of inertia with the arms extended is Io and when the arms are lowered the moment

I₀/I > 1 ⇒ w > w₀

Explanation:

The angular momentum is conserved if the external torques in the system are zero, this is achieved because the friction with the ice is very small,

L₀ = L_f

I₀ w₀ = I w

w = $\frac{I_o}{I}$ w₀

where we see that the angular velocity changes according to the relation of the angular moments, if we approximate the body as a cylinder with two point charges, weight of the arms

I₀ = I_cylinder + 2 m r²

where r is the distance from the center of mass of the arms to the axis of rotation, the moment of inertia of the cylinder does not change, therefore changing the distance of the arms changes the moment of inertia.

If we say that the moment of inertia with the arms extended is Io and when the arms are lowered the moment will be

I <I₀

I₀/I > 1 ⇒ w > w₀

therefore the angular velocity (rotations) must increase

in this way the skater can adjust his spin speed to the musician.
