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.

Where in our daily lives do we encounter "background" radiation​
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

Explanation:Naturally occurring radioactive materials are present in its crust, the floors and walls of our homes, schools, or offices and in the food we eat and drink. There are radioactive gases in the air we breathe. Our own bodies - muscles, bones, and tissue - contain naturally occurring radioactive elements.

To meet a U.S. Postal Service requirement, employees' footwear must have a coefficient of static friction of 0.5 or more on a sp
motikmotik

Answer:

0.79 s

Explanation:

We have to calculate the employee acceleration, in order to know the minimum time. According to Newton's second law:

\sum F_x:f_{max}=ma_x\\\sum F_y:N-mg=0

The frictional force is maximum since the employee has to apply a maximum force to spend the minimum time. In y axis the employee's acceleration is zero, so the net force is zero. Recall that f_{max}=\mu N

Now, we find the acceleration:

\mu N=ma_x\\\mu mg=ma_x\\a_x=\mu g\\a_x=0.83(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})\\a_x=8.134\frac{m}{s^2}

Finally, using an uniformly accelerated motion formula, we can calculate the minimum time. The employee starts at rest, thus his initial speed is zero:

x=v_0t+\frac{1}{2}a_xt^2\\2x=a_xt^2\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2x}{a}}\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2(3.2m)}{8.134\frac{m}{s^2}}}\\t=0.79 s
