A 1.00 cm diameter plastic sphere, used in a static electricity demonstration, has a charge of 22.6 pC uniformly distributed on

its surface. What is the potential at its surface (or just barely above it)?

Answer:

Electric potential,  V = 40.68 volts

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge on the sphere, q=22.6\ pC=22.6\times 10^{-12}\ C

Diameter of the plastic sphere, d = 1 cm

Radius, r = 0.5 cm

We need to find the electric potential at its surface. The potential at a surface is given by :

V=\dfrac{kq}{r}

V=\dfrac{9\times 10^9\times 22.6\times 10^{-12}}{0.5\times 10^{-2}}

V = 40.68 volts

So, the electric potential at its surface is 40.68 volts. Hence, this is the required solution.

In major league baseball, the pitcher's mound is 60 feet from the batter. If a pitcher throws a 85 mph fastball, how much time e
Nostrana [21]
The given from your problem are the following:
V = 85mph (This is miles per hour)
d = 60 feet

If you notice the units do not match. Before we can do anything else, we need to make the figures match. 

In this case, we will convert 85miles per hour to feet per hour.  There are 5,280 feet in 1 mile. 
\frac{85miles }{hr} x \frac{5,280feet}{1miles} = \frac{448,800feet}{hr}

But wait! If you think about the scenario, you are looking for how long it will take for the ball to reach the bat. The most applicable unit of time to use here is second. It would be very hard to really measure a short and instantaneous event in hours. So we convert it into feet per second: 

There are 3,600 seconds in 1 hour.

\frac{448,800feet }{hour} x \frac{1hour}{3,600seconds} = \frac{448,800feet}{3,600 seconds} = 124.67ft/s

So now we have our new given as:

v = 124.67ft/s
d = 60 ft

The formula for time can be derived from the formula from velocity, which is:
velocity = \frac{distance}{time}

The formula of time will then be:
time= \frac{distance}{velocity}

All you need to do is plug in what you know and solve for what you don't know. 

time= \frac{60feet}{124.67ft/s}

time= 0.48s

The answer then is 0.48s.

If you want this in hours, just divide the value in seconds by 3,600. The answer would then be 0.00013hr. (See how small it is? This is why seconds would be a more appropriate measure.)

A piano string having a mass per unit length of 5.00 g/m is under a tension of 1350 N. Determine the speed of transverse waves i
padilas [110]

Answer:

The speed of transverse waves in this string is 519.61 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass per unit length = 5.00 g/m

Tension = 1350 N

We need to calculate the speed of transverse waves in this string

Using formula of speed of the transverse waves

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}}

Where, \mu = mass per unit length

T = tension

Put the value into the formula

v = \sqrt{\dfrac{1350}{5.00\times10^{-3}}}

v =519.61\ m/s

Hence, The speed of transverse waves in this string is 519.61 m/s.

You push very hard on a heavy desk, trying to move it. You do work on the desk:
frozen [14]

Answer:

(C) Only if it starts moving

Explanation:

We know that work done is given by

W=F.d=Fdcos\Theta

So there are two case in which work done is zero

First case is that when force and displacement are perpendicular to each other

And other case is that when there is no displacement

So for work to be done there must have displacement, if there is no displacement then there is no work done

So option (c) will be the correct option
