Identical isolated conducting spheres 1 and 2 have equal charges and are separated by a distance that is large compared with the

ir diameters. The magnitude of the electrostatic force acting on sphere 2 due to sphere 1 is F = 0.42 N. Suppose now that a third identical sphere 3, having an insulating handle and initially neutral, is touched first to sphere , then to sphere 2, and finally removed. What is the magnitude of the electrostatic force F' that now acts on sphere 2?

Answer:

F = 0.1575 N

Explanation:

When the third sphere touches the first sphere, the charge is distributed between both spheres, then now the first sphere has only half of his original charge.

In this moment then

Sphere one has a charge = Q/2

Sphere three has a charge = Q/2

Now when the third sphere touches the second sphere again the charge is distributed in a manner that both sphere has the same charge.

How the total charge is Q = Q/2 + Q = 3/2Q, when the spheres are separated each one has 3/4Q

Sphere two has a charge = 3/4Q

Sphere three has a charge = 3/4Q

The electrostatic force that acts on sphere 2 due to sphere 1 is:

F = \frac{kQ_{1}Q_{2} }{r^{2} }

F= \frac{K(Q/2)(3Q/4)}{r^{2} }

how \frac{KQ^{2} }{r^{2} } = 0.42

Then

F = \frac{0.42*3}{8}

F = 0.1575 N

What is the time lapse between seeing a lightning strike and hearing the thunder if the lightning flash is 47 km away? The speed
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

141.14098 secs

Explanation:

Time taken to see the lightning flash can be gotten from:

Velocity = distance/time

Time = distance/velocity

Time = (47 * 1000)/(3 * 10^8)

Time = 0.0001567 secs

Time taken to hear the thunder can be gotten from:

Velocity = distance/time

Time = distance/velocity

Time = (47 * 1000)/(333)

Time = 141.14114 secs

The time lapse between the lightning flash and the thunder will be:

141.14114 - 0. 0001567

= 141.14098 secs

Two tuning forks of frequency 480 hz and 484 hz are struck simultaneously. what is the beat frequency resulting from the two sou
umka21 [38]
Ans: Beat frequency = f_b = 4Hz

Explanation: 
The beat frequency is equal to the absolute value of the difference in frequency of the two waves. In other words, the number of beats per second is equal to the difference in frequency. It is due to the destructive and constructive interference. <span>According to this interference, sound will be soft or loud.

Hence. the formula is:
</span>Beat frequency = f_b = |f_2 - f_1|
<span>
Since,
</span>f_1 = 480Hz
f_2 = 484Hz

Therefore,
Beat frequency = f_b = |484 - 480|

=> Beat frequency = f_b = 4Hz

Within the theory of G relativity what, exactly, is meant by " the speed of light WITHIN A VACUUM" ? &amp; what does that have t
Ber [7]
The speed of light "within a vacuum" refers to the speed of electromagnetic radiation propagating in empty space, in the complete absence of matter.  This is an important distinction because light travels slower in material media and the theory of relativity is concerned with the speed only in vacuum.  In fact, the theory of relativity and the "speed of light" actually have nothing to do with light at all.  The theory deals primarily with the relation between space and time and weaves them into an overarching structure called spacetime.  So where does the "speed of light" fit into this?  It turns out that in order to talk about space and time as different components of the same thing (spacetime) they must have the same units.  That is, to get space (meters) and time (seconds) into similar units, there has to be a conversion factor.  This turns out to be a velocity.  Note that multiplying time by a velocity gives a unit conversion of
seconds \times  \frac{meters}{seconds} =meters
This is why we can talk about lightyears.  It's not a unit of time, but distance light travels in a year.  We are now free to define distance as a unit of time because we have a way to convert them.  
As it turns out light is not special in that it gets to travel faster than anything else.  Firstly, other things travel that fast too (gravity and information to name two).  But NO events or information can travel faster than this.  Not because they are not allowed to beat light to the finish line---remember my claim that light has nothing to do with it.  It's because this speed (called "c") converts space and time.  A speed greater than c isn't unobtainable---it simply does not exist.  Period.  Just like I can't travel 10 meters without actually moving 10 meters, I cannot travel 10 meters without also "traveling" at least about 33 nanoseconds (about the time it takes light to get 10 meters)  There is simply no way to get there in less time, anymore than there is a way to walk 10 meters by only walking 5.  
We don't see this in our daily life because it is not obvious that space and time are intertwined this way.  This is a result of our lives spent at such slow speeds relative to the things around us.
This is the fundamental part to the Special Theory of Relativity (what you called the "FIRST" part of the theory)  Here is where Einstein laid out the idea of spacetime and the idea that events (information) itself propagates at a fixed speed that, unlike light, does not slow down in any medium.  The idea that what is happening "now" for you is not the same thing as what is "now" for distant observers or observers that are moving relative to you.  It's also where he proposed of a conversion factor between space and time, which turned out to be the speed of light in vacuum.
