poizon [28]

Answer:

Here ball and rod will repel each other as they are of similar charges

Explanation:

As we know that the two charges attract or repel each other by electrostatic force

This force is given as

F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

so we know if two charges are similar in nature then they will repel each other and if the two charges are opposite in nature then they will attract each other

So here when rod touch the ball then it transfer its charge to the ball and due to similar charges in ball and rod they both repel each other

Air (14.5 lb) undergoes a polytropic process in a closed system from p1 = 80 lbf/in2, υ1 = 4 ft3/lb to a final state where p2 =
Yanka [14]
The energy transfer in terms of work has the equation:

W = mΔ(PV)

To be consistent with units, let's convert them first as follows:

P₁ = 80 lbf/in² * (1 ft/12 in)² = 5/9 lbf/ft²
P₂ = 20 lbf/in² * (1 ft/12 in)² = 5/36 lbf/ft²
V₁ = 4 ft³/lbm
V₂ = 11 ft³/lbm

W = m(P₂V₂ - P₁V₁)
W = (14.5 lbm)[(5/36 lbf/ft²)(4 ft³/lbm) - (5/9 lbf/ft²)(11 lbm/ft³)]
W = -80.556 ft·lbf

In 1 Btu, there is 779 ft·lbf. Thus, work in Btu is:
W = -80.556 ft·lbf(1 Btu/779 ft·lbf)
<em>W = -0.1034 BTU</em>

il63 [147K]

Answer:

v= 8.8*10⁷ m/s

Explanation:

  • Assuming no friction present, the change in electrical potential energy, must be equal in magnitude, to the change in kinetic energy of the electron.
  • The change in the electrical potential energy, can be expressed as follows:

       \Delta U = (-e)*\Delta V

  • The change in kinetic energy, assuming that the electron started from rest, can be written as follows:

       \Delta K = \frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2}

       ⇒\Delta K = -\Delta U

  • From the equation above, replacing by ΔK and ΔU, we have:

       -\Delta U =- (-e)*\Delta V =\Delta K = \frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2}

  • Solving for v:

        v=\sqrt{\frac{2*e*\Delta V}{m_{e}} } =\sqrt{\frac{2*1.6e-19C*22e3V}{9.1e-31kg}} }\\ v= 8.8e7 m/s
