Describe the conditions necessary for equilibrium on a balance.

Physics
1 answer:
tia_tia [17]4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Explanation:

A body under concurrent forces (concurrent forces are forces with their line of action acting at a point) is said to be in equilibrium if the sum total of the forces acting on the body is zero.

For forces acting on a balance, the sum of upward forces and the downward forced acting on the balance must be equal for the balance to be in equilibrium.

Also the sum of clockwise moment must be equal to the sum of anticlockwise moment acting on the balance.

Moment is the product of force and the perpendicular distance from the force to the pivot.

timurjin [86]

Answer:

(a) Charge density σ=6.6375×10²nC/m²

(b) Total charge Q=1.47×10²nC

Explanation:

Given Data

A=47.0 cm =0.47 m

Electric field E=75.0 kN/C

To find

(a) Charge density σ

(b)Total Charge Q

Solution

For (a) charge density σ

From Gauss Law we know that

Φ=Q/ε₀.......eq(i)

Where

Φ is electric flux

Q is charge

ε₀ is permittivity of space

And from the definition of flux

Φ = EA

The flux is  electric field passing  perpendicularly through the surface

Put the this Φ in equation(i)

EA =Q/ε₀

where Q(charge)=σA

EA=(σA)/ε₀

E=σ/ε₀

σ=ε₀E

=(8.85*10^{-12} )*(75.0*10^{3} )\\=6.6375*10^{-7} C/m^{2}\\=6.63*10^{2}nC/m^{2}

σ=6.6375×10²nC/m²

For (b) total charge Q

Q=σA

Q=(6.6375*10^{2} nC/m^{2} )(0.47m)^{2}\\ Q=1.47**10^{2}nC

A particle (m = 4.3 × 10^-28 kg) starting from rest, experiences an acceleration of 2.4 × 10^7 m/s^2 for 5.0 s. What is its de B
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Wavelength, \lambda=1.28\times 10^{-14}\ m

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the particle, m=4.3\times 10^{-28}\ kg

Acceleration of the particle, a=2.4\times 10^7\ m/s^2

Time, t = 5 s

It starts from rest, u = 0

The De Broglie wavelength is given by :

\lambda=\dfrac{h}{mv}

v = a × t

\lambda=\dfrac{h}{mat}

\lambda=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-34}}{4.3\times 10^{-28}\times 2.4\times 10^7\times 5}

\lambda=1.28\times 10^{-14}\ m

Hence, this is the required solution.

Sitting in a second-story apartment, a physicist notices a ball moving straight upward just outside her window. The ball is visi
gregori [183]

Answer:

1.013 s

Explanation:

You  can solve this problem using the equations for constant acceleration motion. The velocity at the bottom of the window can be found using this expression:

(x-x_o) = \frac{1}{2} at^2 + v_ot = -\frac{1}{2}gt^2 + v_ot

the gravity is negative as it opposes the movement.

(x-x_o) = -\frac{1}{2}gt^2 + v_ot\\v_o = \frac{(x-x_o)+\frac{1}{2}gt^2}{t} = \frac{1.19m+\frac{1}{2} 9.81m/s^2(0.2s)^2}{0.2s} = 6.931 m/s

Now, the time elapsed before the ball reappears is 2 times the time that it takes for the ball to go from the bottom of the window, reach maximum height, and reach again the bottom of the window, minus 2 times the time that it takes for the ball to travel from the top to the bottom of the window. The time that takes to the ball to reach maximum height, or in other words, to time that takes for the velocity of the ball to go from vo to 0m/s:

t_1 = \frac{0m/s - v_o}{g}  = \frac{-6.931 m/s}{-9.81m/s^2} = 0.706 s

Then:

t = 2t_1 - 2*0.2s = 2*(0.706s) - 0.4s = 1.013 s
