Answer:

Thermal energy always flows from the warmer object to the colder object. This causes your hand to get cold, while the ice absorbs your heat and melts.

Two identical tiny spheres of mass m =2g and charge q hang from a non-conducting strings, each of length L = 10cm. At equilibriu

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

0.247 μC

Explanation:

As both sphere will be at the same level at wquilibrium, the direction of the electric force will be on the x axis. As you can see in the picture below, the x component of the tension of the string of any of the spheres should be equal to the electric force of repulsion. And its y component will be equal to the weight of one sphere. We can use trigonometry to find the components of the tensions:

$F_y: T_y - W = 0\\T_y = m*g = 0.002 kg *9.81m/s^2 = 0.01962 N$

$T_y = T_*cos(50)\\T = \frac{T_y}{cos(50)} = 0.0305 N$

$T_x = T*sin(50) = 0.0234 N$

The electric force is given by the expression:

$F = k*\frac{q_1*q_2}{r^2}$

In equilibrium, the distance between the spheres will be equal to 2 times the length of the string times sin(50):

$r = 2*L*sin(50) = 2 * 0.1m * sin(50) 0.1532 m$

And k is the coulomb constan equal to 9 *10^9 N*m^2/C^2. q1 y q2 is the charge of each particle, in this case, they are equal.

$F_x = T_x - F_e = 0\\T_x = F_e = k*\frac{q^2}{r^2}$

$q = \sqrt{T_x *\frac{r^2}{k}} = \sqrt{0.0234 N * \frac{(0.1532m)^2}{9*10^9 N*m^2/C^2} } = 2.4704 * 10^-7 C$

If there are 20 Earthworms in a garden that covers 5 square meters, what is the population density of the earthworms?

hodyreva [135]

I think, I do think.. that it is D.

Wouldn't it be simple to divide 5 from 20, that would equal 4.

4 earthworms per square meter.

What is the mass of an object with a density of 18 g/cm3 and a volume of 25 cm3

DiKsa [7]

Answer: 0.72 grams

Explanation: Mass can be extracted from the formula of density. D=M/V where D is density and V is volume. Therefore:

18 g/cm^3 = M(25 cm^3) --> Divide by 18g/cm^3 by 25 cm^3 to isolate mass. --> <u>0.72 =M </u> --> Now, to find out which unit you need to use for mass, just look at the density. You can see it is in g/cm^3, and cm^3 was already used for the volume. Thus, gram units are left, so that will be the unit needed, making the final answer 0.72 grams. Hope this helps :)
