Three tiny charged metal balls are arranged on a straight line. The middle ball is positively charged and the two outside balls

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

$(a) 189.23 N$ , $(b) 47.31 N$ and $(c) 141.92 N$ .

Explanation:

Three balls are shown in figure having charge $q=1.45 \mu C$ . The middle ball, $B$ , is positively charged having charge $+q$ , and the remaining two outside balls, $A$ and $C$ , are negatively charged having charged $-q$ as shown.

$AC=20 cm$ and $AB=BC=10$ cm as B is the mid-point of AC.

Let $d_1=AC=20\times 10^{-3}m$ and $d_2=AB=BC=10\times 10^{-3}m$

From Coulomb's law, the magnitude of the force, $F$ , between two point charges having magnitudes $q_1 \& q_2$ , separated by distance, $d$ , is

$F=\frac {1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac {q_1q_2}{d^2}\;\cdots (i)$

where, $\epsilon_0$ is the permittivity of free space and

$\frac {1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}=9\times 10^9$ in SI units.

This force is repulsive for the same nature of charges and attractive for the different nature of charges.

Now, Using equations(i),

(a) The magnitude of attraction force between balls A and B is

$F_{AB}=F_{BC}= \frac {1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac {qq}{(d_2)^2}$

$\Rightarrow F_{AB}= 9\times 10^9}\frac {1.45\times 10^{-6}\times1.45\times 10^{-6}}{\left(10\times 10^{-3}\right)^2}$

$\Rightarrow F_{AB}=189.23 N$

(a) The magnitude of the repulsive force between balls A and C is

$F_{AC}= \frac {1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac {qq}{(d_1)^2}$

$\Rightarrow F_{AC}= 9\times 10^9}\frac {1.45\times 10^{-6}\times1.45\times 10^{-6}}{\left(20\times 10^{-3}\right)^2}$

$\Rightarrow F_{AC}=47.31 N$

$F_{net}=189.23-47.31 N$

$\Rightarrow F_{net}=141.92 N$

A 450.0 N, uniform, 1.50 m bar is suspended horizontally by two vertical cables at each end. Cable A can support a maximum tensi

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

1) $W_{object} = 400 N$

2) x = 0.28 m from cable A.

Explanation:

1 ) Let's use the first Newton to find the , because bar is in equilibrium.

$\sum F_{Tot} = 0$

In this case we just have y-direction forces.

$\sum F_{Tot} = T_{A}+T_{B}-W_{bar}-W_{object} = 0$

Now, let's solve the equation for W(object).

$W_{object} = T_{A}+T_{B}-W_{bar} = 550 +300 - 450 = 400 N$

2 ) To find the position of the heaviest weight we need to use the torque definition.

$\sum \tau = 0$

The total torque is evaluated in the axes of the object.

Let's put the heaviest weight in a x distance from the cable A. We will call this point P for instance.

First let's find the positions from each force to the P point.

$L = 1.50 m$ ; total length of the bar.

$D_{AP} = x$ ; distance between Tension A and P point.

$D_{BP} = L-x$ ; distance between Tension B and P point.

$D_{W_{bar}P} = \frac{L}{2}-x$ ; distance between weight of the bar (middle of the bar) and P point.

Now, let's find the total torque in P point, assuming counterclockwise rotation as positive.

$\sum \tau = T_{B}(L-x)-T_{A}(x)-W_{bar}(\frac{L}{2}-x) = 0$

Finally we just need to solve it for x.

$x = \frac{T_{B}L-W_{bar}(L/2)}{T_{B}+W_{bar}+T_{A}}$

$x = 0.28 m$

So the distance is x = 0.28 m from cable A.

Hope it helps!

Have a nice day! :)

In the solar panel system presented in the video, which of the following was necessary to generate usable electrical current for

anastassius [24]

Answer:

A and B are both requirements for a solar panel to generate usable current at home.

Explanation:

Solar panel operates through a group of cells, where each one of them captures/convert electrons making them move from one polarised region to another. The excited electrons can move from a region in excess of electrons (p region) to a region with a lack of electrons (n region).

This physical effect of electron moving from one side to another creates what we know as current flow.

This current flow from a solar panel does not vary with time in a determined frequency, so it's constant. This is the definition of a DC current. Since the household devices work with AC (variable sinusoidal current Alternate Current) a converter DC to AC is required.

Due to the fact that the solar panels only operate in the day when they recibe direct sunlight, there is the need to have batteries to store the energy for the night and the times where the sunlight is not enough to provide enough electron flow.

Learning Goal: To practice Problem-Solving Strategy 7.2 Problems Using Mechanical Energy II. The Great Sandini is a 60.0-kg circ

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

v = 15.8 m/s

Explanation:

Let's analyze the situation a little, we have a compressed spring so it has an elastic energy that will become part kinetic energy and a potential part for the man to get out of the barrel, in addition there is a friction force that they perform work against the movement. So the variation of mechanical energy is equal to the work of the fictional force

$W_{fr}$ = ΔEm = $Em_{f}$ -Em₀

Let's write the mechanical energy at each point

Initial

Em₀ = Ke = ½ k x²

Final

$Em_{f}$ = K + U = ½ m v² + mg y

Let's use Hooke's law to find compression

F = - k x

x = -F / k

x = 4400/1100

x = - 4 m

Let's write the energy equation

fr d = ½ m v² + mgy - ½ k x²

Let's clear the speed

v² = (fr d + ½ kx² - mg y) 2 / m

v² = (40 4.00 + ½ 1100 4² - 60.0 9.8 2.50) 2/60.0

v² = (160 + 8800 - 1470) / 30

v = √ (229.66)

v = 15.8 m/s
