The formation of sand is a physical change because some of the physical properties of the rocks change, but their identities do not. The particles of rock are rearranged as their sizes and shapes change, but their identities and total mass remain the same.

Identical isolated conducting spheres 1 and 2 have equal charges and are separated by a distance that is large compared with the
scoundrel [369]

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

A projectile is shot straight up from the earth's surface at a speed of 10,000 km/hr. how high does it go?
mezya [45]
Naturally we assume that 10000 km/hr is initial velocity (same as being shot from a cannon), and no air resistance. With so high a velocity, the effect of diminishing gravity with increasing radius must be taken into account, so you use an energy solution. M is earth mass, r is earth radius. 
KE/m = (9000000/3600)^2/2 = 3858025 J/kg 
ΔPE/m = (PE(at height) - PE(at surface))/m = -GM/(r+h) + GM/r 
KE/m = ΔPE/m 
KE/m - GM/r = -GM/(r+h)
h = -GM / (KE/m - GM/r) - r = 335665.44 m 
(Using G = 6.673E-11 Nm^2/kg^2, M = 5.9742E24 kg, r = 6378100 m)

Which of the following is the energy of motion?
Bogdan [553]

Kinetic energy is the energy of the motion.

This is because the kinetic energy can be calculated by using the formula,

K.E.=1/2 mv^2

where, v is the velocity of moving body i.e. the body is in motion.
