Answer:

Correct answer:  Q = 0.247 μC

Explanation:

Since the oil drop floats, this means that the weight of the drop and the Coulomb force are equal.

F = m · g   drop's weight

Fc = k q Q / r² Coulomb force

where it was given:

k = 9 · 10⁹ N m²/C² dielectric constant,

q = 2.2 mC = 2.2 · 10⁻³ C drop's charge,

Q -   floor's charge,

r = 7.68 m distance between drop and floor

m = 8.3 grams = 8.3 · 10⁻³ kg drop's weight

and  g = 10 m/s²

F = Fc  ⇒ k q Q / r² = m · g ⇒ Q = m · g · r²/ k · q

Q = 8.3 · 10⁻³ · 10 · 7.68² / 9 · 10⁹ · 2.2 · 10⁻³

Q = 24.72 · 10⁻⁸ C = 0.2472 · 10⁻⁶ C = 0.2472 μC

Q = 0.247 μC

The kinetic energy of a 10 Kg ball rolling at 10 meters per second is how many joules
Ulleksa [173]

Answer: 500 joules

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of ball = 10kg

kinetic energy = ?

velocity of the ball = 10m/s

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a moving object. It is measured in joules, and depends on the mass (m) of the object and the velocity (v) by which it moves

i.e K.E = 1/2mv²

K.E = 1/2 x 10kg x (10m/s)²

K.E = 0.5 x 10kg x (10m/s)²

K.E = 5 x 100

K.E = 500 joules

Thus, the kinetic energy of the ball is 500 joules

What characteristics determine how easily two substances change temperature
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer;

Amount of time the two substances are in contact

Area in contact between the two substances

Specific heat of the material that makes up the substances

Explanation;

The change in temperature of a substance is caused by heat energy. The change in temperature will depend on factors such as mass of the substance, the type of material it is made from, the time taken , specific heat of the material that makes the substance, and also the area of contact.

The amount of time the two substances are in contact affect the change in temperature such that if the two bodies are in contact for a longer time then a bigger change in temperature will be observed.

Specific heat capacity also determines the change in temperature that will be observed, such that a substance with a bigger specific heat capacity will record a small change in temperature.
