1) The charge left on the fur is equal and opposite to the charge transferred to the rod:
Q=+4.8 \cdot 10^{9} C
In fact, when the rod is rubbed with the fur, a net charge of Q=-4.8 \cdot 10^{-9} C has been transferred to the rod, leaving it negatively charged. If we assume the fur was initially neutral, this means that we have now an excess of positive charges on the fur, and the amount of this charge must be equal (in magnitude, but with opposite sign) to the charge transferred to the rod.

2) The mass transferred to the rod is equal to the total mass of the electrons transferred to the rod.
The charge transferred to the rod is
Q=-4.8 \cdot 10^{-9} C
The charge of 1 electron is
e=-1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C
So the number of electrons transferred is
N= \frac{Q}{e}= \frac{-4.8 \cdot 10^{-9} C}{-1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C}=3.0 \cdot 10^{10}

The mass of 1 electron is m=9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg, therefore the total mass transferred to the rod is
M=Nm=(3 \cdot 10^{10})(9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg)=2.73 \cdot 10^{-20} kg

A truck traveling down the highway collides with a slower moving mosquito traveling in the same direction. Which of the followin
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

B. The truck and mosquito exert the same size force on each other.

Explanation:

Newton's third law (law of action-reaction) states that

"When an object A exerts a force (action) on an object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force (reaction) on object A"

In this case, we can call

object A = the truck

object B = the mosquito

Thereforce according to Newton's third law, the force exerted by the truck on the mosquito is equal in magnitude to the force exerted by the mosquito on the truck (and in opposite direction).

The reason for which the mosquito will experience much more damage is the fact that the mosquito's mass is much smaller than the truck's mass, and since the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass:

a=\frac{F}{m}

the mosquito will experience a much larger deceleration than the truck, therefore much more damage.

Two small plastic spheres are given positive electrical charges. When they are a distance of 14.8cm apart, the repulsive force b
sdas [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Case I: They have same charge.

Charge on each sphere = q

Distance between them, d = 14.8 cm = 0.148 m

Repulsive force, F = 0.235 N

Use Coulomb's law in electrostatics

F=\frac{Kq_{1}q_{2}}{d^{2}}

By substituting the values

0.235=\frac{9\times10^{9}q^{2}}{0.148^{2}}

q=7.56\times10^{-7}C

Thus, the charge on each sphere is q=7.56\times10^{-7}C.

Case II:

Charge on first sphere = 4q

Charge on second sphere = q

distance between them, d = 0.148 m

Force between them, F = 0.235 N

Use Coulomb's law in electrostatics

F=\frac{Kq_{1}q_{2}}{d^{2}}

By substituting the values

0.235=\frac{9\times 10^{9}\times 4q^{2}}{0.148^{2}}

q=3.78\times10^{-7}C

Thus, the charge on second sphere is q=3.78\times10^{-7}C and the charge on first sphere is 4q = 4\times 3.78\times 10^{-7}=1.51 \times 10^{-6} C.

slega [8]

Answer:


F₁ = 4,120.2 N


F₂ = 3,924N


Explanation:



1) Balance of angular momentum around the end where F₁ is applied.


F₂ × 0.5m - F₁ × 0 = mass × g × 1m


⇒ F2 × 0.5 m= 20 kg × 9.81 m/s² × 1 m = 1,962 N×m


F₂ = 196.2 Nm / 0.5m = 3,924 N


2) Balance of forces


F₁ - F₂ = mg


F₁ = F₂ + mg = 3,924N + 20kg (9.81 m/s²) = 4,120.2 N

Write about the similarities and differences between kinetic and potential energy. Include specific, real world example in your
lord [1]

Answer:

Energy is transformed from potential to kinetic and vice versa

Explanation:

The energy is transformed from mechanical to kinetic energy when the object changes its position with respect to a reference point, where it loses height but increases its speed. When the object is at maximum height with respect to a reference point, it will have its maximum potential energy value. When the object passes through the reference point it will have potential energy equal to zero, but this energy will become kinetic energy.

The most characteristic and real example is that of a pendulum at one end, as can be seen in the attached image.

When the pendulum is located at the top end, as shown in Figure 1, at that point the maximum potential energy will be held. Then the pendulum is released and when it passes through the reference point and its height is zero, with respect to that point, all potential energy will have become kinetic energy in the same way at this point the maximum speed of the pendulum will be set.
