You have three identical metal spheres that have different initial net charges. Sphere A has a net charge of +5Q; sphere B has a

net charge of ?3Q; and sphere C has a net charge of +7Q. You first touch sphere B to sphere A, and then separate them; you then touch sphere A to sphere C, and then separate them; and finally you touch sphere C to sphere B, and then separate them. What is the charge on sphere A at the end of the process?

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Sphere A has a net charge of +5 Q

Sphere B has a net charge of -3 Q

Sphere C has a net charge of 7 Q

When sphere B is touched to sphere A then charge is redistributed among the sphere such that charge on each sphere is

Q=\frac{5Q-3Q}{2}=\frac{2Q}{2}=1\ Q

Now sphere A and B has charge Q

When sphere A is touched to sphere C

Net charge after removal

Q_2=\frac{Q+7Q}{2}=\frac{8Q}{2}=4\ Q

Now sphere A and C has 4 Q charge

Now sphere C and B is touched

Net charge on C and B is given by

Q_3=\frac{4Q+Q}{2}=2.5\ Q

At the end of process charge on sphere A is 4Q

Charge on B and C is 2.5Q

A medicine ball has a mass of 5 kg and is thrown with a speed of 2 m/s. what is its kinetic energy?
Fantom [35]
The kinetic energy of the ball is given by:
K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2
where m=5 kg is the mass of the ball and v=2 m/s is its speed. Substituting these numbers, we find the kinetic energy:
K= \frac{1}{2} (5kg)(2m/s)^2=10 J

suppose the circumference of a bicycle wheel is 2 meters. if it rotates at 1 revolution per second when you are riding the bicyc
kirill115 [55]

Then the speed of the rider is, v = 2m/s

The linear velocity of an object in a straight line is its speed.

The following is the relationship between linear and angular velocity:

v = rω

The circumference of the bicycle wheel is,

2\pir = 2

r = 0.318m

The angular velocity of the wheel is,

ω = 1rev/sec = 2\pirad/s

Then the speed of the rider is,

v = rω

v = 0.318×2π

v = 2m/s

The graph represents velocity over time. What is the acceleration? –0.4 m/s2 –0.2 m/s2 0.2 m/s2 0.4 m/s2
Olenka [21]
Missing graph. I attach it in the answer.

In a uniformly accelerated motion, the velocity at time t is given by:
v(t)=at
where a is the acceleration and t is the time.

Given the previous equation, if we plot v(t) versus t, we find a straight line; moreover, a (the acceleration) represents the slope of the curve.

Looking at the graph, we see that when the time goes from 10 s to 20 s, the velocity increases from 4 m/s to 6 m/s. Therefore the slope of the curve is
a= \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}= \frac{6 m/s-4 m/s}{20 s-10 s}= \frac{2 m/s}{10 s}=0.2 m/s^2
and this corresponds to the acceleration.

So, the correct answer is <span>0.2 m/s2.</span>

A stone is dropped from rest from the top of a building. It takes Δt = 2.2 s for it to reach the ground.
NeTakaya

Answer:

Value of magnitude of acceleration will be 9.8m/sec^2

Explanation:

It is given that when a stone is dropped it takes 2.2 sec to reach the ground

(a) As the stone is dropped from the top of building

So its initial velocity u_i will be 0 m /sec

(b) As the stone is free falling and there is no external force applied on it so its acceleration will be equal to acceleration due to gravity

So value of magnitude of acceleration will be equal to 9.8m/sec^2
