That's an urban legend that's been around for a long time.
It was tested on "Mythbusters".  The conclusion was that
it would sting pretty good, and maybe raise a lump, but
it would never penetrate the skull, and it couldn't kill.

Let us suppose the magnitude of the original Coulomb force between the two charged spheres is FF. In this scenario, a third sphe
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

F ’= 1/32 F

We see that the value of the force is the initial force over 32

Explanation:

In this problem the sphere that is touching the others is connected to ground, after each touch,

Let's analyze the charge of the gray sphere, when you touch it for the first time, the charge is divided between the two spheres each having Q / 2, when the sphere separates and touches ground, its charge passes zero. When I touch the gray dial again, its charge is reduced by half

½ (Q / 2) = ¼ Q

For the red dial repeat the same scheme

with the first touch the charge is reduced to Q / 2

with the second touch e reduce to ½ (Q / 2) = ¼ Q

with the third toce it is reduced to ½ (¼ Q) = ⅛ Q

Now let's analyze what happens to the electric force

if the force is F for when the charge of each sphere is Q

        F = k Q Q / r²

with the remaining charge strength is

        F ’= k (¼ Q) (⅛ Q) / r²

        F ’= 1/32 k Q Q / r²

        F ’= 1/32 F

We see that the value of the force is the initial force over 32

A solid cylinder of uniform density of 0.85 g/cm3 floats in a glass of water tinted light blue by food coloring.
SVEN [57.7K]

Each side has to have at least 44 horses

F61160 N. This is further explained below.

<h3>What is the force?</h3>

Generally, We are only interested in the component that operates horizontally since the vertical components all cancel each other out. The pressure difference works on the hemisphere to generate a normal force all over the surface, but we are only concerned with that force's horizontal component. This may be determined by supposing the hemispheres to be two flat circular plates of the same radius as the hemispheres that have been forced together.

Therefore, force is equal to pressure multiplied by area, which is

F= (970 -15 )( * (0.45 m)2)

F=60754 N for each side.

Therefore, each side has to have at least 44 horses

44* 1390 = 61160 N

A standard 1 kilogram weight is a cylinder 54.0 mm in height and 55.0 mm in diameter. what is the density of the material
denis-greek [22]

The radius of the cylinder is equal to half the diameter:

r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{55.0 mm}{2}=27.5 mm

The volume of the cylinder is given by:

V=\pi r^2 h=\pi (27.5 mm)^2 (54.0 mm)=1.28 \cdot 10^5 mm^3

where h is the heigth of the cylinder. Converting into meters,

V=1.28 \cdot 10^{-4} m^3

And the density of the material will be given by the ratio between the mass and the volume:

d=\frac{m}{V}=\frac{1 kg}{1.28 \cdot 10^{-4} m^3}=7812.5 kg/m^3

Why do all of the parameters, except the independent variable, have to be controlled?
