Two charges (q1 = 3.8*10-6C, q2 = 3.2*10-6C) are separated by a distance of d = 3.25 m. Consider q1 to be located at the origin.

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

The distance is 1.69 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

First charge $q_{1}= 3.8\times10^{-6}\ C$

Second charge $q_{2}=3.2\times10^{-6}\ C$

Distance = 3.25 m

We need to calculate the distance

Using formula of electric field

$E_{1}=E_{2}$

$\dfrac{kq_{1}}{x^2}=\dfrac{kq_{2}}{(d-x)^2}$

$\dfrac{q_{1}}{q_{2}}=\dfrac{(x)^2}{(d-x)^2}$

$\sqrt{\dfrac{q_{1}}{q_{2}}}=\dfrac{x}{d-x}$

$x=(d-x)\times\sqrt{\dfrac{q_{1}}{q_{2}}}$

Put the value into the formula

$x=(3.25-x)\times\sqrt{\dfrac{3.8\times10^{-6}}{3.2\times10^{-6}}}$

$x+x\times\sqrt{\dfrac{3.8\times10^{-6}}{3.2\times10^{-6}}}=3.25\times\sqrt{\dfrac{3.8\times10^{-6}}{3.2\times10^{-6}}}$

$x(1+\sqrt{\dfrac{3.8\times10^{-6}}{3.2\times10^{-6}}})=3.25\times\sqrt{\dfrac{3.8\times10^{-6}}{3.2\times10^{-6}}}$

$x=\dfrac{3.25\times\sqrt{\dfrac{3.8\times10^{-6}}{3.2\times10^{-6}}}}{(1+\sqrt{\dfrac{3.8\times10^{-6}}{3.2\times10^{-6}}})}$

$x=1.69\ m$

Hence, The distance is 1.69 m.

All of the following are a characteristic of science except

Readme [11.4K]

No. It is D. Science is actually testable. That is the purpose of the scientific method: to TEST a theory. For something to be considered science, you must be able to observe, ask questions, develop questions, and test them. Thefore, it is a process. Lastly, yes. Science is a body of knowledge. It's a subject field that covers many things and numerous sub areas.

Suppose a baseball pitcher throws the ball to his catcher.

amm1812

a) Same

b) Same

c) Same

d) Throw the ball takes longer

e) F is larger when the ball is catched

Explanation:

a)

The change in speed of an object is given by:

$\Delta v = |v-u|$

where

u is the initial velocity of the object

v is the final velocity of the object

The change in speed is basically the magnitude of the change in velocity (because velocity is a vector, while speed is a scalar, so it has no direction).

In this problem:

- In situation 1 (pitcher throwing the ball), the initial velocity is

u = 0 (because the ball starts from rest)

while the final velocity is v, so the change in speed is

$\Delta v=|v-0|=|v|$

- In situation 2 (catcher receiving the ball), the initial velocity is now

u = v

while the final velocity is now zero (ball coming to rest), so the change in speed is

$\Delta v =|0-v|=|-v|$

Which means that the two situations have same change in speed.

b)

The change in momentum of an object is given by

$\Delta p = m \Delta v$

where

m is the mass of the object

$\Delta v$ is the change in velocity

If we want to compare only the magnitude of the change in momentum of the object, then it is given by

$|\Delta p|=m|\Delta v|$

- In situation 1 (pitcher throwing the ball), the change in momentum is

$\Delta p = m|\Delta v|=m|v|=mv$

- In situation 2 (catcher receiving the ball), the change in momentum is

$\Delta p = m\Delta v = m|-v|=mv$

So, the magnitude of the change in momentum is the same (but the direction is opposite)

c)

The impulse exerted on an object is equal to the change in momentum of the object:

$I=\Delta p$

where

I is the impulse

$\Delta p$ is the change in momentum

As we saw in part b), the change in momentum of the ball in the two situations is the same, therefore the impulse exerted on the ball will also be the same, in magnitude.

However, the direction will be opposite, as the change in momentum has opposite direction in the two situations.

d)

To compare the time of impact in the two situations, we have to look closer into them.

- When the ball is thrown, the hand "moves together" with the ball, from back to ahead in order to give it the necessary push. We can verify therefore that the time is longer in this case.

- When the ball is cacthed, the hand remains more or less "at rest", it doesn't move much, so the collision lasts much less than the previous situation.

Therefore, we can say that the time of impact is longer when the ball is thrown, compared to when it is catched.

e)

The impulse exerted on an object can also be rewritten as the product between the force applied on the object and the time of impact:

$I=F\Delta t$

where

I is the impulse

F is the force applied

$\Delta t$ is the time of impact

This can be rewritten as

$F=\frac{I}{\Delta t}$

In this problem, in the two situations,

- I (the impulse) is the same in both situations

- $\Delta t$ when the ball is thrown is larger than when it is catched

Therefore, since F is inversely proportional to $\Delta t$ , this means that the force is larger when the ball is catched.

**Fill in the blanks**

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

Word for the first blank: gravity

Word for the second blank: matter

Explanation:

The only way debris from the impact with Earth can be held close to Earth is due to a force. The only force that could be acting from Earth is "the force of gravity".

The gravitational pull of this new object being formed, increases proportional to its mass as more and more "matter" accumulates. And the accretion process is now on its way.
