Two small spheres with mass 10 gm and charge q, are suspended from a point by threads of length L=0.22m. What is the charge on e

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

$q=1.95*10^{-7}C$

Explanation:

According to the free-body diagram of the system, we have:

$\sum F_y: Tcos(15^\circ)-mg=0(1)\\\sum F_x: Tsin(15^\circ)-F_e=0(2)$

So, we can solve for T from (1):

$T=\frac{mg}{cos(15^\circ)}(3)$

Replacing (3) in (2):

$(\frac{mg}{cos(15^\circ)})sin(15^\circ)=F_e$

The electric force ( $F_e$ ) is given by the Coulomb's law. Recall that the charge q is the same in both spheres:

$(\frac{mg}{cos(15^\circ)})sin(15^\circ)=\frac{kq^2}{r^2}(4)$

According to pythagoras theorem, the distance of separation (r) of the spheres are given by:

$sin(15^\circ)=\frac{\frac{r}{2}}{L}\\r=2Lsin(15^\circ)(5)$

Finally, we replace (5) in (4) and solving for q:

$mgtan(15^\circ)=\frac{kq^2}{(2Lsin(15^\circ))^2}\\q=\sqrt{\frac{mgtan(15^\circ)(2Lsin(15^\circ))^2}{k}}\\q=\sqrt{\frac{10*10^{-3}kg(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})tan(15^\circ)(2(0.22m)sin(15^\circ))^2}{8.98*10^{9}\frac{N\cdot m^2}{C^2}}}\\q=1.95*10^{-7}C$

A solution containing 10.0 g of an unknown liquid and 90.0 g water has a freezing point of -3.33 °C. Given Kf = 1.86 °C/m for wa

Fantom [35]

Answer:

62.06 g/mol

Explanation:

We are given that a solution containing 10 g of an unknown liquid and 90 g

Given mass of solute = $W_B$ =10 g

Given mass of solvent= $W_A$ =90 g

$k_f=1.86^{\circ}C/m$

Freezing point of solution =-3.33 $^{\circ}$ C

Freezing point of solvent = $0^{\circ}$ C

Change in freezing point =Depression in freezing point

=Freezing point of solvent - freezing point of solution=0+3.33= $3.33^{\circ}$

$\Delta T_f=\frac{W_B\times K_f\times 1000}{W_A\times M_B}$

$M_B=\frac{10\times 1.86\times 1000}{3.33\times 90}$

$M_B=62.06 g/mol$

Hence, molar mass of unknown liquid is 62.06g/mol.
