<h2>20. How much charge is on sphere B after A and B touch and are separated?</h2><h3>Answer:</h3>

\boxed{q_{B}=+2q}

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We'll solve this problem by using the concept of electric potential or simply called potential V, which is <em>the energy per unit charge, </em>so the potential V at any point in an electric field with a test charge q_{0} at that point is:

V=\frac{U}{q_{0}}

The potential V due to a single point charge q is:

V=k\frac{q}{r}

Where k is an electric constant, q is value of point charge and r is  the distance from point charge to  where potential is measured. Since, the three spheres A, B and C are identical, they have the same radius r. Before the sphere A and B touches we have:

V_{A}=k\frac{q_{A}}{r_{A}} \\ \\ V_{B}=k\frac{q_{B}}{r_{A}} \\ \\ But: \\ \\ \ r_{A}=r_{B}=r

When they touches each other the potential is the same, so:

V_{A}= V_{B} \\ \\ k\frac{q_{A}}{r}=k\frac{q_{B}}{r} \\ \\ \boxed{q_{A}=q_{B}}

From the principle of conservation of charge <em>the algebraic sum of all the electric charges in any closed system is constant. </em>So:

q_{A}+q_{B}=q \\ \\ q_{A}=+6q \ and \ q_{B}=-2q \\ \\ So: \\ \\ \boxed{q_{A}+q_{B}=+4q}

Therefore:

(1) \ q_{A}=q_{B} \\ \\ (2) \ q_{A}+q_{B}=+4q \\ \\ (1) \ into \ (2): \\ \\ q_{A}+q_{A}=+4q \therefore 2q_{A}=+4q \therefore \boxed{q_{A}=q_{B}=+2q}

So after A and B touch and are separated the charge on sphere B is:

\boxed{q_{B}=+2q}

<h2>21. How much charge ends up on sphere C?</h2><h3>Answer:</h3>

\boxed{q_{C}=+1.5q}

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

First: A and B touches and are separated, so the charges are:

q_{A}=q_{B}=+2q

Second:  C is then touched to sphere A and separated from it.

Third: C is to sphere B and separated from it

So we need to calculate the charge that ends up on sphere C at the third step, so we also need to calculate step second. Therefore, from the second step:

Here q_{A}=+2q and C carries no net charge or q_{C}=0. Also, r_{A}=r_{C}=r

V_{A}=k\frac{q_{A}}{r} \\ \\ V_{C}=k\frac{q_{C}}{r}

Applying the same concept as the previous problem when sphere touches we have:

k\frac{q_{A}}{r} =k\frac{q_{C}}{r} \\ \\ q_{A}=q_{C}

For the principle of conservation of charge:

q_{A}+q_{C}=+2q \\ \\ q_{A}=q_{C}=+q

Finally, from the third step:

Here q_{B}=+2q \ and \ q_{C}=+q. Also, r_{B}=r_{C}=r

V_{B}=k\frac{q_{B}}{r} \\ \\ V_{C}=k\frac{q_{C}}{r}

When sphere touches we have:

k\frac{q_{B}}{r} =k\frac{q_{C}}{r} \\ \\ q_{B}=q_{C}

For the principle of conservation of charge:

q_{B}+q_{C}=+3q \\ \\ q_{A}=q_{C}=+1.5q

So the charge that ends up on sphere C is:

q_{C}=+1.5q

<h2>22. What is the total charge on the three spheres before they are allowed to touch each other.</h2><h3>Answer:</h3>

+4q

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Before they are allowed to touch each other we have that:

q_{A}=+6q \\ \\ q_{B}=-2q \\ \\ q_{C}=0

Therefore, for the principle of conservation of charge <em>the algebraic sum of all the electric charges in any closed system is constant, </em>then this can be expressed as:

q_{A}+q_{B}+q_{C}=+6q -2q +0 \\ \\ \therefore q_{A}+q_{B}+q_{C}=+4q

Lastly, the total charge on the three spheres before they are allowed to touch each other is:

+4q

A proton is 0.9 meters away from a 1.4 C charge. What is the magnitude of the electric force between the proton and the charge
Digiron [165]

Answer:

F = 2.49 x 10⁻⁹ N

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between two charged bodies is given by Colomb's Law:

F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}\\

where,

F = Electrostatic Force = ?

k = colomb's constant = 9 x 10⁹ N.m²/C²

q₁ = charge on proton = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

q₂ = second charge = 1.4 C

r = distace between charges = 0.9 m

Therefore,

F = \frac{(9\ x\ 10^9\ N.m^2/C^2)(1.6\ x\ 10^{-19}\ C)(1.4\ C)}{(0.9\ m)^2}

<u>F = 2.49 x 10⁻⁹ N</u>

flipper (the dolphin) is out in the open ocean hunting tuna avec. he emits his pulse at 22khz and .42 seconds later he hears it
marusya05 [52]
First we need to find the speed of the dolphin sound wave in the water. We can use the following relationship between frequency and wavelength of a wave:
v=\lambda f
where
v is the wave speed
\lambda its wavelength
f its frequency
Using \lambda = 2 cm = 0.02 m and f=22 kHz = 22000 Hz, we get
v=(0.02 m)(22000 Hz)=440 m/s

We know that the dolphin sound wave takes t=0.42 s to travel to the tuna and back to the dolphin. If we call L the distance between the tuna and the dolphin, the sound wave covers a distance of S=2 L in a time t=0.42 s, so we can write the basic relationship between space, time and velocity for a uniform motion as:
v= \frac{S}{t}= \frac{2L}{t}
and since we know both v and t, we can find the distance L between the dolphin and the tuna:
L= \frac{vt}{2}= \frac{(440 m/s)(0.42 s)}{2}=92.4 m

ear the end of a marathon race, the first two runners are separated by a distance of 45.0 m. The front runner has a velocity of
sesenic [268]

Answer:

a) V_{2/1}=0.8m/s

b) The second runner will win

c) d = 10.54m

Explanation:

For part (a):

V_{2/1} = V_{2} - V_{1} = 0.8m/s

For part (b) we will calculate the amount of time that takes both runners to cross the finish line:

t_{1} = \frac{X_{1}}{V_{1}}=\frac{250}{3.45}=72.46s

t_{2} = \frac{X_{2}}{V_{2}}=\frac{250+45}{4.25}=69.41s

Since it takes less time to the second runner to cross the finish line, we can say the she won the race.

For part (c), we know how much time it takes the second runner to win, so we just need the position of the first runner in that moment:

X1 = V1*t2 = 239.46m  Since the finish line was 250m away:

d = 250m - 239.46m = 10.54m

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Please find the answer in the explanation

Explanation:

Friction is a force that opposes motion. One or two of the advantages of friction are break and ability of an object to walk.

Writing yes it is useful because when your writing because friction helps you see what your writing

ii. Rubbing. Yes, it is useful.

friction make it possible for two object to rub each other

iii. Skiing. No. It is not useful because With presence of friction, skiing will not be possible.

iv. Rotating a wheel No. It is not useful because Friction will oppose the rotation of the wheel.
