Two identical conducting spheres, fixed in place, attract each other with an electrostatic force of 0.110 N when their center-to

-center separation is 57.3 cm. The spheres are then connected by a thin conducting wire. When the wire is removed, the spheres repel each other with an electrostatic force of 0.0489 N. Of the initial charges on the spheres, with a positive net charge, what was (a) the negative charge on one of them and (b) the positive charge on the other

Answer:

  q₂ = ± 1.306 10⁻⁶ C

   q₂ =  ± 3.073 10⁻⁶ C

Explanation:

We must solve this exercise using Coulomb's law, let's write the equilibrium equation for each case

first case

     F₁ = k q₁ q₂ / r²         (1)

where F1 is the force on sphere 1, with a value of F₁ = 0.110 N; r is the distance between them r = 0.573 m

second case.

The spheres were joined with a conductive wire, so the charge of the two is equal, then the wire is removed and

       -F₂ = k q₃ q₃ / r²           (2)

In this case the force is expelling and is equal to F₂ = 0.0489 N

when the spheres are joined with the wire the charge of the spheres is distributed evenly between them two

         q₁ + q₂ = 2 q₃             (3)

we can see that there are three equations with three unknowns for which the system can be solved

let's substitute equation 3 in 2

         - F₂ = k (q₁ + q₂)² / r²

we join this equation with equation 1

          F₁ = k q₁ q₂ / r²

          -F₂ = k (q₁ + q₂)²/4r²

          q₁ = F₁ r² / k q₂

         - F₂ = k (F₁ r² / k q₂ + q₂)²/4r²

Let's replace the values ​​and work out

         - 0.0489 = 9 109 (0.110 0.573² / (9 10⁹ q₂) + q₂)² / 0.573²

          - 0.0489 4 0.573²/9 10⁹ = (0.110 0.573² / (9 10⁹ q₂) + q₂)²

          - 7.1356 10⁻¹² = (4.013 10⁻¹² / q₂ + q₂)²

          - 7.1356 10⁻¹² = 1 / q₂² (4.013 10⁻¹² + q₂² )²

          - 7.1356 10⁻¹² q₂² = (16.104 10⁻²⁴ + 4.013 10⁻¹² q₂² + q₂⁴

          q₂⁴ + q₂² (4,013 10⁻¹² + 7,1356 10⁻¹²) + 16,104 10⁻²⁴ = 0

         

we change variables

        q’ = q₂²

          q'² + q'  11.1486 10⁻¹² + 16.104 10⁻²⁴ = 0

we solve this quadratic equation

          q '= [- 11.1486 10⁻¹² ±√ ((11.1486 10⁻¹² )² - 4 16.104 10⁻²⁴)] / 2

          q '= [- 11.1486 10 12 ±√ (59.8753 10⁻²⁴)] / 2

          q '= [- 11.1486 ± 7.7379] / 2 10⁻¹²

          q'1 = -1.70535 10⁻¹²

          q'2 = -9.44325 10⁻¹²

           q' = q₂²

           q₂ = √ q'

           q₂ = ± 1.306 10⁻⁶ C

           q₂ =  ± 3.073 10⁻⁶ C

since q 'is squared of these charges they can be positive or negative giving the same result.

jake drags a sled of mass 10 kg across the snow. the sled is attached to a rope that he pulls with a force of 30 n at an angle o
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

The normal force is 85,42 N

Explanation:

There is no friction force, therefore there is no relationship between the normal force and the friction.

We can find the normal force using a free body diagram and check the forces that are acting on the sled. The total forces are equal to 0 because there is no movement in the y-axis. The movement exists only on the x-axis.

A projectile is shot horizontally at 23.4 m/s from the roof of a building 55.0 m tall. (a) Determine the time necessary for the
jeka94

(a) 3.35 s

The time needed for the projectile to reach the ground depends only on the vertical motion of the projectile, which is a uniformly accelerated motion with constant acceleration

a = g = -9.8 m/s^2

towards the ground.

The initial height of the projectile is

h = 55.0 m

The vertical position of the projectile at time t is

y = h + \frac{1}{2}at^2

By requiring y = 0, we find the time t at which the projectile reaches the position y=0, which corresponds to the ground:

0 = h + \frac{1}{2}at^2\\t=\sqrt{-\frac{2h}{a}}=\sqrt{-\frac{2(55.0 m)}{(-9.8 m/s^2)}}=3.35 s

(b) 78.4 m

The distance travelled by the projectile from the base of the building to the point it lands depends only on the horizontal motion.

The horizontal motion is a uniform motion with constant velocity -

The horizontal velocity of the projectile is

v_x = 23.4 m/s

the time it takes the projectile to reach the ground is

t = 3.35 s

So, the horizontal distance covered by the projectile is

d=v_x t = (23.4 m/s)(3.35 s)=78.4 m

(c) 23.4 m/s, -32.8 m/s

The motion of the projectile consists of two independent motions:

- Along the horizontal direction, it is a uniform motion, so the horizontal velocity is always constant and it is equal to

v_x = 23.4 m/s

so this value is also the value of the horizontal velocity just before the projectile reaches the ground.

- Along the vertical direction, the motion is acceleration, so the vertical velocity is given by

v_y = u_y +at

where

u_y = 0 is the initial vertical velocity

Using

a = g = -9.8 m/s^2

and

t = 3.35 s

We find the vertical velocity of the projectile just before reaching the ground

v_y = 0 + (-9.8 m/s^2)(3.35 s)=-32.8 m/s

and the negative sign means it points downward.

A car moving 60km/hr in one hour will travel.
Veseljchak [2.6K]

<u>Given that</u>

Speed  =  60 Km/hr

 In one hour, how much distance travelled by car

    We know that

             Distance = Speed × time

                     S = 60 × 1

                    S =  60 Km

In one hour car will travel 60 Km

What are non-metals?<br>explain briefly​
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

In chemistry, a nonmetal is a chemical element that is mechanically weak in its most stable form, brittle if solid, and usually gains or shares electrons in chemical reactions. There is no universal agreement on which elements are nonmetals; the numbers generally range from fourteen to twenty-three, depending on the criterion or criteria of interest.
