A small metal sphere has a mass of 0.19 gg and a charge of -23.0 nCnC. It is 10.0 cmcm directly above an identical sphere that h

as the same charge. This lower sphere is fixed and cannot move. If the upper sphere is released, it will begin to fall.What is the magnitude of its initial acceleration?

Answer:

  a = -7.29 m / s²

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use Newton's second law,

          F -W = m a

Force is electrical force

         F = k q₁ q₂ / r²

         k q₁ q₂ / r² -mg = m a

indicate that the charge of the two spheres is equal

         q₁ = q₂ = q

         a = (k q² / r² - m g) / m

         a = k q² / m r² - g

Let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

        m = 0.19 g (1kg / 1000 g) = 1.9 10⁻⁴ kg

        q1 = q2 = q = -23.0 nC (1C / 10⁹ nC) = -23.0 10⁻⁹ C

        r = 10.0 cm (1m / 100cm) = 0.1000 m

let's calculate

        a = 9 10⁹ (23.0 10⁻⁹)² / (0.1000² 1.9 10⁻⁴) - 9.8

        a = -7.29 m / s²

The negative sign indicates that the direction of this acceleration is downward

A rotating object starts from rest at t = 0 s and has a constant angular acceleration. At a time of t = 2.5 s the object has an
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

52 rad

Explanation:

Using

Ф = ω't +1/2αt²................... Equation 1

Where Ф = angular displacement of the object, t = time, ω' = initial angular velocity, α = angular acceleration.

Since the object states from rest, ω' = 0 rad/s.

Therefore,

Ф = 1/2αt²................ Equation 2

make α the subject of the equation

α = 2Ф/t².................. Equation 3

Given: Ф = 13 rad, t = 2.5 s

Substitute into equation 3

α = 2(13)/2.5²

α = 26/2.5

α = 4.16 rad/s².

using equation 2,

Ф = 1/2αt²

Given: t = 5 s, α = 4.16 rad/s²

Substitute into equation 2

Ф = 1/2(4.16)(5²)

Ф = 52 rad.

How can we realize that light travel in straight line ?​
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

It can be seen from the operation of pin-hole camera, formation of shadows and eclipse.

Explanation:

The phenomenon of light traveling in a straight line is known as rectilinear propagation of light.

One this evidence can be seen from the operation of pin-hole camera, which depends on rectilinear propagation of light

Also two natural effects that result from the rectilinear propagation of light are the formation of Shadows and Eclipse.

It has been suggested, and not facetiously, that life might have originated on Mars and been carried to Earth when a meteor hit
damaskus [11]

Answer:

a=3125000 m/s^2\\a=3.125*10^6 m/s^2

Acceleration, in m/s, of such a rock fragment = 3.125*10^6m/s^2

Explanation:

According to Newton's Third Equation of motion

V_f^2-V_i^2=2as

Where:

V_f is the final velocity

V_i is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the distance

In our case:

V_f=V_{escape},  V_i=0,s=4 m

So Equation will become:

V_{escape}^2-V_i^2=2as\\V_{escape}^2-0=2as\\V_{escape}^2=2as\\a=\frac{V_{escape}^2}{2s}\\a=\frac{(5*10^3m)^2}{2*4}\\a=3125000 m/s^2\\a=3.125*10^6 m/s^2

Acceleration, in m/s, of such a rock fragment = 3.125*10^6m/s^2

When a quantity of monatomic ideal gas expands at a constant pressure of 4.00×104pa, the volume of the gas increases from 2.00×1
Semmy [17]
Yes that is correct. We know this because 4.00 x 10 4 Pa is constant. If you have 2.00×10−3m3 then you do the following: (2.00×10^−3)(4.00×10^<span> 4) = </span>8.00×10^−3. That is how you get your answer
