An outside force, Fo, brings two small metal spheres, A and B, at rest from a long distance away to a point where they are 1 met

ers apart. They are then connected by a non-conducting string of negligible mass. The spheres have mass mA = 5.8 g and mB = 9.5 g and both have equal positive charges of 5 μC. (You may assume the length of the string is much greater than the radii of the spheres.)
1)What was the total work done by the outside force to bring the spheres to the point described?
2)What was the total work done by the electric field when the two sphere were brought together as described?
3)What is the potential energy of the two sphere system after they have been brought together as described? (You may assume the spheres had zero potential energy when they were a long distance apart.)
4)Suppose you cut the string. At that instant, what is the magnitude of the acceleration of sphere A?
5)At that instant, what is the magnitude of the acceleration of sphere B?
6)After a very long time, what is the magnitude of the velocity of sphere A?
7)After a very long time, what is the magnitude of the velocity of sphere B?

Answer:

1)

The total work done by outside force is W_{o}=0.294J

2)

The total work done by the electric field is -W_{o} =-0.294J

3)

The potential energy of the two sphere system is  PE = W_{o} = 0.294J

4)

The magnitude of the acceleration of sphere A is a_{A} = 66.868m/s^2

5)

The magnitude of the acceleration of sphere B is a_{B} = 26.747 \ m/s^2

6)

The magnitude of velocity sphere A after a very long time is  v_{A} = 10.251 \ m/s\

7) The magnitude of velocity sphere B after a very long time is  v_{B} = 4.1 m/s

A student is trying to determine the acceleration of a feather as she drops it to the ground. if the student is looking to achie
Anna [14]

The coordinate system should have the origin at the point where the feather is dropped and the downward direction is to be taken as positive.

All falling bodies experience acceleration towards the center of the Earth due to the force of gravitational attraction exerted on the object by the Earth. A feather, when dropped experiences an acceleration in the downward direction. Since the acceleration of the feather is in the downward direction, a feather, when dropped with zero initial velocity, has its velocity vector directed in the direction of its acceleration.

If the downward direction is taken as positive, the falling feather can be said to have a positive velocity and a positive acceleration.

how do you find work when only given the angle a sled is pulled, the mass, the coefficent of kinetic friction and distance
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

W = F * s    

Work done equals applied force * distance traveled

Apparent weight = M g (1 - sin θ)     since some of applied force will lighten sled

μ = coefficient of kinetic friction

F cos θ = force applied to motion of sled

s = distance traveled

[μ M g (1 - sin θ)] cos θ * s = work done in moving sled

Note that F = μ M g    if applied force is in the horizontal direction

Afina-wow [57]

Explanation:

Understanding that stars are naturally quite hot, imagine I pulled a piece of hot iron from a furnace. It would glow a bright red, and then slowly fade to black as the iron cools.

White dwarfs glow for the same reason - they are HOT!
