Two spherical conductors are separated by a distance much larger than either of their radii. Sphere A has a radius of 11.5 cm an

d a net charge of − 95.5 nC, whereas sphere B, which is initially neutral, has a radius of 74.4 cm. The two spheres are then connected by a thin metal wire. What is the charge on sphere B after equilibrium has been reached?

Explanation:

As the given spheres are connected by a thin wire so, the potential on the spheres are the same.

          \frac{q_{1}}{r_{1}} = \frac{q_{2}}{r_{2}} ......... (1)

Hence, total charge will be as follows.

              q_{1} + q_{2} = Q = -95.5 nC .......... (2)

Using the above two equations, the final equation will be as follows.

          q_{2} = \frac{Qr_{2}}{r_{1} + r_{2}}

and,    q_{1} = \frac{Qr_{1}}{r_{1} + r_{2}}

Hence, we will calculate the charge on sphere B after the equilibrium is reached as follows.

          q_{2} = \frac{Qr_{2}}{r_{1} + r_{2}}

                     = \frac{-95.5 \times 74.4 cm}{(11.5 + 74.4) cm}

                     = 82.714 nC

Thus, we can conclude that the charge on sphere B after equilibrium has been reached is 82.714 nC.

Si tu velocidad al caminar es 0,3 m/s. Determina el tiempo que demorarias en llegar al sol en horas (REALIZAR TRANSFORMACIÓN DE
Contact [7]

Answer:

138,516,546.9 horas.

Explanation:

Tenemos que usar la ecuación:

Velocidad = distancia/tiempo

Acá tenemos:

Velocidad = 0.3m/s

distancia = 149597870700 m

y queremos resolver la ecuación para el tiempo:

0.3m/s =  149597870700m/tiempo.

tiempo =  149597870700m/(0.3m/s) = 498,659,569,000 s

y sabemos que una hora tiene 3600 segundos, entonces si queremos transformar de segundos a horas tenemos:

498,659,569,000 s = (498,659,569,000/3600) h = 138,516,546.9 horas.

Which of the following are true about S waves
shusha [124]

Answer:

3. they can travel through solids

4. they move rock at right angles to the direction of wave travel

Explanation:

  • S waves are called transverse waves they have the ability to move past the solids. They cannot move through the liquids, these waves are perpendicular to the direction of travel.  
  • They are also called longitudinal waves, the ad is second to record on the seismograph as they slowly pass through the rocks. They have a speed of 3.4 to 7.2 km as per the boundary.

A convex mirror, like the passenger-side rearview mirror on a car, has a focal length of -3.0 m . An object is 6.0 m from the mi
Artist 52 [7]

A) -2.0 m

Look at the ray diagram attached in the picture, where:

p identifies the location of the object

q identifies the location of the image

F identifies the focus of the mirror

Each tick represents 1 m

We have

p = 6.0 m is the distance of the object from the mirror

f = -3.0 m is the focal length

From the ray diagram, we see that q has a distance of 2.0 m from the mirror, and it's on the other side of the mirror compared to the object, so

q = -2.0 m

This can also be verified by using the mirror equation:

\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{p}=\frac{1}{-3.0 m}-\frac{1}{6.0 m}=-\frac{3}{6.0 cm}\\q = \frac{-6.0 cm}{3}=-2.0 cm

B) Upright and virtual

As we see from the picture, the image is upright, since it has same orientation as the object.

Also, we notice that the image is on the other side of the mirror, compared to the object. For a mirror,

- An image is said to be real if it is on the same side of the object

- An image is said to be virtual if it is on the opposite side of the mirror

Therefore, this means that the image is virtual.
