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.

You've recently read about a chemical laser that generates a 20.0-cm-diameter, 26.0 MW laser beam. One day, after physics class,
aksik [14]

Answer :

(a). The speed of the block is 0.395 m/s.

(b). No

Explanation :

Given that,

Diameter = 20.0 cm

Power = 26.0 MW

Mass = 110 kg

diameter = 20.0 cm

Distance = 100 m

We need to calculate the pressure due to laser

Using formula of pressure

P_{r}=\dfrac{I}{c}

P_{r}=\dfrac{P}{Ac}Put the value into the formula[tex]P_{r}=\dfrac{26.0\times10^{6}}{\pi\times(10\times10^{-2})^2\times3\times10^{8}}

P_{r}=2.75\ N/m^2

We need to calculate the force

Using formula of force

F=P\times A

F=P\times \pi r^2

Put the value into the formula

F=2.75\times\pi (0.01)^2

F=0.086\ N

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using formula of force

F=ma

Put the value into the formula

0.086=110\times a

a=\dfrac{0.086}{110}

a=0.000781\ m/s^2

a=7.81\times10^{-4}\ m/s^2

(a). We need to calculate speed of the block

Using equation of motion

v^2=u^2+2ad

Put the value into the formula

v=\sqrt{2\times7.81\times10^{-4}\times100}

v=0.395\ m/s

(b). No because the velocity is very less.

Hence, (a). The speed of the block is 0.395 m/s.

(b). No

A railroad car moving at a speed of 3.46 m/s overtakes, collides and couples with two coupled railroad cars moving in the same d
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

2.09\ \text{m/s}

22298.4\ \text{J}

Explanation:

m = Mass of each the cars = 1.6\times 10^4\ \text{kg}

u_1 = Initial velocity of first car = 3.46 m/s

u_2 = Initial velocity of the other two cars = 1.4 m/s

v = Velocity of combined mass

As the momentum is conserved in the system we have

mu_1+2mu_2=3mv\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{u_1+2u_2}{3}\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{3.46+2\times 1.4}{3}\\\Rightarrow v=2.09\ \text{m/s}

Speed of the three coupled cars after the collision is 2.09\ \text{m/s}.

As energy in the system is conserved we have

K=\dfrac{1}{2}mu_1^2+\dfrac{1}{2}2mu_2^2-\dfrac{1}{2}3mv^2\\\Rightarrow K=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.6\times 10^4\times 3.46^2+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 1.6\times 10^4\times 1.4^2-\dfrac{1}{2}\times 3\times 1.6\times 10^4\times 2.09^2\\\Rightarrow K=22298.4\ \text{J}

The kinetic energy lost during the collision is 22298.4\ \text{J}.

f.  Valid

g. Invalid

Explanation:

a.

Since, it follows all the four rules,

Therefore, this number is <u>Valid</u>

b.

It uses upper case E, instead of lower case e.

Therefore, it is <u>Invalid</u>

c.

It violates third rule for including unit.

What pushes against gravity in: a main sequence star, a white dwarf, a neutron star, and a black hole? electron degeneracy, neut
Inga [223]

Answer:

heat pressure, electron degeneracy, neutron degeneracy, and nothing

Explanation:

Main Sequence Star: It is a star in which nuclear fusion is happening in the core of the star. Hydrogen molecules fuse together to generate Helium. This nuclear fusion generates outward gas pressure and radiation pressure which balances the inward gravity thus creating an equilibrium which keeps the stars in shape.

White dwarf: It is the end stage of a medium sized star like the Sun. Outer layers of the star are thrown in the form a shell/bubble leaving a small and dense core in the center called as white dwarf. This core consists of carbon and oxygen. Nuclear fusion doesn't occur in the core of white dwarfs. The inward gravity is balanced by the electron degeneracy pressure. Thus these stars will keep on radiating the remaining heat and will turn in to a black dwarf at the end.

Neutron Star: This is the end stage of a supermassive star (1-3 times the mass of the Sun). At the last stage of the life the core collapses. In these stars the inward gravity is so huge that the pressure overcomes the electron degeneracy pressure and crushes together the electron and proton to form neutron. The neutron then stops the collapse and balances the inward gravity.

Black Hole: This is the end stage of a hyper massive stars weighing more than 3 times the mass of the Sun. The inward gravitational force is so huge that even the neutrons are not able to stop the collapse the core. thus the mass of the star collapses into a very small area of immense gravity. There is nothing that can balance this inward gravity.
