Answer:

B) electrons transferred from sphere to rod.

(2) 1.248 x 10¹¹ electrons were transferred

Explanation:

Given;

initial charge on the plastic rod, q₁ = 15nC

final charge on the plastic rod, q₂ = - 5nC

let the charge acquired by the plastic rod = q

q + 15nC = -5nC

q = -5nC - 15nC

q = -20 nC

Thus, the plastic rod acquired excess negative charge from the metal sphere.

Hence, electrons transferred from sphere to rod

B) electrons transferred from sphere to rod.

2) How many charged particles were transferred?

1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C = 1 electron

20 x 10⁻⁹ C = ?

= 1.248 x 10¹¹ electrons

Thus,1.248 x 10¹¹ electrons were transferred

Which statement is the best interpretation of the ray diagram shown below?

madreJ [45]

A) A concave mirror forming a larger, virtual image

Explanation:

The figure is missing; see attachment.

There are two types of mirror:

Concave (converging) mirrors: a concave mirror is a mirror that reflects the light inward
Convex (diverging) mirrors: a convex mirror is a mirror that reflects the light outward

The image formed by a mirror can also be of two types:

Real image: it is formed on the same side of the object, with respect to the mirror
Virtual image: it is formed on the opposite side of the object, with respect to the mirror

In the figure of this problem (see attachment), we see that:

- The mirror reflects the light from the object inward --> so it is a concave mirror

- The image is formed on the other side of the mirror --> it is a virtual image

So the correct option is

A) A concave mirror forming a larger, virtual image

A sound is recorded at 19 decibels. What is the intensity of the sound?

sp2606 [1]

$1 \times 10^{-10.1} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}$ is the intensity of the sound.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

The range of sound intensity that people can recognize is so large (including 13 magnitude levels). The intensity of the weakest audible noise is called the hearing threshold. (intensity about $1 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}$ ). Because it is difficult to imagine numbers in such a large range, it is advisable to use a scale from 0 to 100.

This is the goal of the decibel scale (dB). Because logarithm has the property of recording a large number and returning a small number, the dB scale is based on a logarithmic scale. The scale is defined so that the hearing threshold has intensity level of sound as 0.

$\text { Intensity }(d B)=(10 d B) \times \log _{10}\left(\frac{I}{I_{0}}\right)$

Where,

I = Intensity of the sound produced

$I_{0}$ = Standard Intensity of sound of 60 decibels = $1 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}$

So for 19 decibels, determine I as follows,

$19 d B=(10 d B) \times \log _{10}\left(\frac{I}{1 \times 10^{-12} W m^{-2}}\right)$

$\log _{10}\left(\frac{1}{1 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}}\right)=\frac{19}{10}$

$\log _{10}\left(\frac{1}{1 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}}\right)=1.9$

When log goes to other side, express in 10 to the power of that side value,

$\left(\frac{I}{1 \times 10^{-12} W m^{-2}}\right)=10^{1.9}$

$I=1 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2} \times 10^{1.9}=1 \times 10^{-12-1.9}=1 \times 10^{-10.1} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}$

A 1000-kg car is moving at 30 m/s around a horizontal unbanked curve whose diameter is 0.20 km. What is the magnitude of the fri

omeli [17]

Answer:

4500 N

Explanation:

When a body is moving in a circular motion it will feel an acceleration directed towards the center of the circle, this acceleration is:

a = v^2/r

where v is the velocity of the body and r is the radius of the circumference:

Therefore, a body with mass m, will feel a force f:

f = m v^2/r

Therefore we need another force to keep the body(car) from sliding, this will be given by friction, remember that friction force is given a the normal times a constant of friction mu, that is:

fs = μN = μmg

The car will not slide if f = fs, i.e.

fs = μmg = m v^2/r

That is, the magnitude of the friction force must be (at least) equal to the force due to the centripetal acceleration

fs = (1000 kg) * (30m/s)^2 / (200 m) = 4500 N

A 600 kg car is at test and then accelerated to 5m/s , what is its original kinetic energy

ycow [4]

Answer:

0 J

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is defined as:

KE = 1/2 m v²

where m is mass and v is velocity.

The car starts at rest, so it has zero velocity. Therefore, its initial kinetic energy is 0 J.
