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.

A certain frictionless simple pendulum having a length L and mass M swings with period T. If both L and M are doubled, what is t
vampirchik [111]

The new period is D) √2 T

\texttt{ }

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Let's recall Elastic Potential Energy and Period of Simple Pendulum formula as follows:

\boxed{E_p = \frac{1}{2}k x^2}

where:

<em>Ep = elastic potential energy ( J )</em>

<em>k = spring constant ( N/m )</em>

<em>x = spring extension ( compression ) ( m )</em>

\texttt{ }

\boxed{T = 2\pi \sqrt{ \frac{L}{g} }}

where:

<em>T = period of simple pendulum ( s )</em>

<em>L = length of pendulum ( m )</em>

<em>g = gravitational acceleration ( m/s² )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem!

\texttt{ }

<u>Given:</u>

initial length of pendulum = L₁ = L

initial mass = M₁ = M

final length of pendulum = L₂ = 2L

final mass = M₂ = 2M

initial period = T₁ = T

<u>Asked:</u>

final period = T₂ = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

T_1 : T_2 = 2\pi \sqrt{ \frac{L_1}{g} }} : 2\pi \sqrt{ \frac{L_2}{g} }}

T_1 : T_2 = \sqrt{L_1} : \sqrt{L_2}

T : T_2 = \sqrt{L} : \sqrt{2L}

T : T_2 = 1 : \sqrt{2}

\boxed {T_2 = \sqrt{2}\ T}
