An object with a known charge is first brought close to the ball so as to induce the opposite charge. Lets say we brought a positive object, so the ball will be negatively charged. Afterwards, the object with the unknown charge is brought closer. If the ball is attracted, then the object is positively charged and if it is repelled then the object is negatively charged.

A world-class sprinter running a 100 m dash was clocked at 5.4 m/s 1.0 s after starting running and at 9.8 m/s 1.5 s later. In w

Answer:

<em>The output power is greater in the interval from 1.0 s to 2.5 s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Physical Power </u>

It measures the amount of work W an object does in certain time t. The formula needed to compute power is

\displaystyle P=\frac{W}{t}

Work can be computed in several ways since we are given the motion conditions, we'll use this formula, for F= applied force, x=distance parallel to F

W=F.x

The second Newton's law gives us the net force as

F=m.a

being m the mass of the object and a the acceleration it has for a given period of time. In our problem, we have two different behaviors for each interval and we must calculate this force since the acceleration is changing. Let's calculate the acceleration in the first interval. We can use the formula for the final speed vf knowing the initial speed vo (which is 0 because the sprinter starts from rest), the acceleration a, and the time t:

v_f=v_o+at

v_f=at

Solving for a

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f}{t}={5.4}{1}

a=5.4\ m/s^2

The distance traveled in the interval is given by

\displaystyle x=v_o.t+\frac{a.t^2}{2}

Since vo=0

\displaystyle x=\frac{a.t^2}{2}=\frac{5.4(1)^2}{2}

x=2.7\ m

The force is given by

F=m.a

We don't know the value of m, so the force is

F=2.7m

Computing the work done by the sprinter

W=F.x=2.7m(5.4)

W=14.58m

The power is finally computed

\displaystyle P=\frac{W}{t}=\frac{14.58m}{1}

P=14.58m

During the second interval, from t=1 sec to 1.5 sec, the speed changes from 5.4 m/s to 9.8 m/s. This allows us to compute the second acceleration

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}=\frac{9.8-5.4}{0.5}

a=8.8\ m/s^2

The distance is

\displaystyle x=(5.4).(0.5)+\frac{8.8(0.5)^2}{2}

x=3.8\ m

The net force is

F=m(8.8)=8.8m

The work done by the sprinter is now computed as

W=8.8m(3.8)=33.44m

At last, the output power is

\displaystyle P=\frac{33.44m}{0.5}=66.88m

By comparing both results, and being m the same for both parts, we conclude the output power is greater in the interval from 1.0 s to 2.5 s

Two coils close to each other have a mutual inductance of 32 mH. If the current in one coil decays according to I=I0e−αt, where
fiasKO [112]

The emf induced in the second coil is given by:

V = -M(di/dt)

V = emf, M = mutual indutance, di/dt = change of current in the first coil over time

The current in the first coil is given by:

i = i₀e^{-at}

i₀ = 5.0A, a = 2.0×10³s⁻¹

i = 5.0e^(-2.0×10³t)

Calculate di/dt by differentiating i with respect to t.

di/dt = -1.0×10⁴e^(-2.0×10³t)

Calculate a general formula for V. Givens:

M = 32×10⁻³H, di/dt = -1.0×10⁴e^(-2.0×10³t)

Plug in and solve for V:

V = -32×10⁻³(-1.0×10⁴e^(-2.0×10³t))

V = 320e^(-2.0×10³t)

We want to find the induced emf right after the current starts to decay. Plug in t = 0s:

V = 320e^(-2.0×10³(0))

V = 320e^0

V = 320 volts

We want to find the induced emf at t = 1.0×10⁻³s:

V = 320e^(-2.0×10³(1.0×10⁻³))

V = 43 volts

The same amount of substance was added to four beakers of water. The treatments were placed in the chart.
vfiekz [6]

Answer: Solution W and Y solution have more solubility than X and Z

Solutions are homogeneous mixtures of two or more components. By uniform mix we mean that its structure and properties are the same in the whole mix. Generally, the component which is present in the largest quantity is known as solvent. Solvent determines the physical condition in which the solution exists. In addition to the solvent, one or more component present in the solution is called solutes. In this unit we will only consider binary solutions (i.e., with two components)

The structure of the solution can be described by expressing its concentration. The latter can either be expressed qualitatively or quantitatively. For example, in qualitatively we can say that the solution is diluted (i.e., relatively small amounts of solubility) or it is concentrated (i.e., relatively rarely sighs). But in real life such details may be very confusing and thus require a quantitative description of the solution. There are several ways that we can quantitatively describe the concentration of solutions. (i) Mass Percentage (W / W): The mass percentage of a component of the solution is defined as: mass of the component = mass of the component in the solution = 100 Total mass of the solution .For example, if by mass A solution is described by 10% glucose in water, it means that 10 grams of glucose dissolved in 90 grams of water, resulting in 100 grams of solution. The concentration described by a large percentage of the population is usually used in industrial chemical applications. For example, the commercial bleaching solution contains 3.62 mass percentages of sodium hypochlorite in water. (ii) Volume Percentage (V / V): Volume Percentage is defined as: Total Volume of Component Volume 100 (component) Volume% of Component
