Three identical metallic conducting spheres carry the following charges: q = +3.8 μC, q = −2.6 μC, and q = −8.8 μC. The spheres

that carry the charges q and q are brought into contact. Then they are separated. After that, one of those two spheres is brought into contact with the third sphere that carries the charge q. What is the final charge on the third sphere?

Answer:

-4.1μC is the final charge on the third sphere

Explanation:

From the given data, q1 and q2 are brought into contact as they are both conductors,  as such there will be evenly distribution of charges.

a) charge on each sphere(Q) = q1 + q2 / 2

= +3.8 μC + (- 2.6 μC) / 2 = 1.2μC/2 = 0.6μC

b) Now, one of those two spheres is brought into contact with the third sphere ; Q is brought into contact with q3 = Q + q3 / 2

= 0.6μC - 8.8 μC /2 = -8.2 μC/2

= -4.1μC is the final charge on the third sphere.

Answer:

 i = 0.477 10⁴ B

the current flows in the  counterclockwise

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use the Ampere law

                    ∫ B . ds = μ₀ I

Where the path is closed

Let's start by locating the current vines that are parallel to the z-axis, so it must be exterminated along the x-axis and as the specific direction is not indicated, suppose it extends along the y-axis.

From BiotSavart's law, the field must be perpendicular to the direction of the current, so the magnetic field must go in the x direction.

We apply the law of Ampere the segment parallel to the x-axis is the one that contributes to the integral, since the other two have an angle of 90º with the magnetic field

Segment on the y axis

        L₀ = (y2-y1)

        L₀ = 3-0 = 3 cm

Segment on the point x = 2 cm

        L₁ = 3-0

        L₁ = 3cm

       B L = μ₀ I

       B 2L = μ₀ I

        i = 2 L B /μ₀

        i= 2 0.03 / 4π 10⁻⁷   B

        i = 4.77 10⁴  B

The current is perpendicular to the magnetic field whereby the current flows in the  counterclockwise

Lonnie pitches a baseball of mass 0.20 kg. The ball arrives at home plate with a speed of 40 m/s and is batted straight back to
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

B) 20N.s is the correct answer

Explanation:

The formula for the impulse is given as:

Impulse = change in momentum

Impulse = mass × change in speed

Impulse = m × ΔV

Given:

initial speed  = 40m/s

Final speed = -60 m/s (Since the the ball will now move in the opposite direction after hitting the bat, the speed is negative)

mass = 0.20 kg

Thus, we have

Impulse = 0.20 × (40m/s - (-60)m/s)

Impulse = 0.20 × 100 = 20 kg-m/s or 20 N.s

What force is needed to move a barrel 45-m if 3600 J of work are accomplished?​
lesantik [10]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 80 N</h3>

Explanation:

The force acting on the object can be found by using the formula

f =  \frac{w}{d}  \\

where

d is the distance

w is the work done

We have

f =  \frac{3600}{45}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>80 N</h3>

Hope this helps you
