An insulating plastic rod is charged by rubbing it with a wool cloth, and then brought to an initially neutral conducting metall

ic sphere sitting on an insulating stand. The rod touches the sphere for a few seconds, and then is separated from the sphere by a small distance. After the rod is separated, the rod:_____
A) is repelled by the sphere.
B) is attracted to the sphere.
C) feels no force due to the sphere.

Answer:

A) is repelled by the sphere.

Explanation:

When a charged insulated rod is touched with an insulated conducting sphere , some  charge on the rod gets transferred to the sphere . So they become similarly charged . We all know that there is repulsion when two similarly charged object are brought near to each other . Hence here too there will be repulsion between the rod and the sphere when the rod is brought near the sphere.

A sprinter set a high school record in track and field, running 200.0 m in 20.6 s . what is the average speed of the sprinter in
Paraphin [41]

Answer : The average speed of the sprinter is, 34.95 Km/hr

Solution :

Average velocity : It is defined as the distance traveled by the time taken.

Formula used for average velocity :

v_{av}=\frac{d}{t}

where,

v_{av} = average velocity

d = distance traveled = 200 m

t = time taken = 20.6 s

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the average velocity of the sprinter.

v_{av}=\frac{200m}{20.6s}\times \frac{3600}{1000}=34.95Km/hr

conversion :

(1 Km = 1000m)

(1 hr = 3600 s)

Therefore, the average speed of the sprinter is, 34.95 Km/hr

Point charges q1 and q2 are separated by a distance of 60 cm along a horizontal axis.
amm1812

Answer:

38 cm from q1(right)

Explanation:

Given, q1 = 3q2 , r = 60cm = 0.6 m

Let that point be situated at a distance of 'x' m from q1.

Electric field must be same from both sides to be in equilibrium(where EF is 0).

=> k q1/x² = k q2/(0.6 - x)²

=> q1(0.6 - x)² = q2(x)²

=> 3q2(0.6 - x)² = q2(x)²

=> 3(0.6 - x)² = x²

=> √3(0.6 - x) = ± x

=> 0.6√3 = x(1 + √3)

=> 1.03/2.73 = x

≈ 0.38 m = 38 cm = x

Question 3 of 15
omeli [17]

Answer:

B) Degrees

Explanation:

The directions of the vectors are often defined in terms of due East, due North, due West and due South. A direction exactly in between of North and East can be described as Northeast, similarly we can describe directions in terms of Northwest, Southeast and South west.

From these, the direction of a vector can be easily expressed in degrees, which is measured counter clockwise about its tail from due East. Considering that we can say that East is at 0° , North is at 90° , West is at 180 and South is at 270° counter clockwise rotation from due East.

So, we know that the direction of a vector lying somewhere between due East i.e 0° and due North i.e 90°, will be measured in degrees, which will have a value between 0°-90°
