In a charging process, 1 × 10^13 electrons are removed from one small metal sphere and placed on a second identical sphere. Init

ially both metal spheres were neutral. After the charging process the electrical potential energy associated with the two spheres is found to be −0.064 J . What is the distance between the two spheres?

Answer:

r = 0.303m

= 30.3cm

Explanation:

Given that,

The number of electrons transferred from one sphere to the other,  

n  = 1 ×10 ¹³e le c t r o n s

The electrostatic potential energy between the spheres,  

U = − 0.061 J

The charge on an electron,  

q = − 1.6 × 10 ⁻¹⁹C

The coulomb constant,  

K = 8.98755 × 10 ⁹ N ⋅ m ² / C 2²

Due to the transfer of electrons, both spheres become equally and oppositely.

The charge gained by the sphere due to the excess of the electron is:  

q ₁ = n q

   = 1 ×10 ¹³ *  − 1.6 × 10 ⁻¹⁹

   = -1.6  × 10⁻⁶C

The charge left on the first sphere is =

q ₂ = -q₁ = 1.6  × 10⁻⁶C

The electric potential energy between two point charges is given by the following equation:

U = K q ₁q ₂/r

q ₁ and  q ₂ are the two charges.

r  is the distance between the charge and the point.

K  =  8.98755  ×  10 ⁹ N ⋅ m ² / C ²

we have:

-0.061 =  (8.98755  ×  10 ⁹ * (-1.6  × 10⁻⁶)²) / r

r = (18.41 ×  10 ⁻³) / 0.061

r = 0.303m

= 30.3cm

An object is located 25.0 cm from a convex mirror. The image distance is -50.0 cm. What is the magnification?
Lynna [10]

Answer:

\boxed{\sf Magnification \ (m) = 2}

Given:

Object distance (u) = 25.0 cm

Image distance (v) = -50.0 cm

To Find:

Magnification (m)

Explanation:

\boxed{\bold{\sf Magnification  \: (m) = - \frac{Image  \: distance  \: (v)}{Object  \: distance  \: (u)}}}

Substituting values of Image distance(v) & Object distance (u) in the equation:

\sf \implies m =  -  \frac{( - 50)}{25}

-(-50) = 50:

\sf \implies m =  \frac{50}{25}

\sf \implies m =  \frac{2 \times  \cancel{25}}{ \cancel{25}}

\sf \implies m = 2

True or false electrons are a lot lower in mass than protons
slavikrds [6]
True. The mass of an electron is about 1/2000 amu whereas the mass of a proton is 1 amu.

Two stationary positive point charges, charge 1 of magnitude 3.00 nC and charge 2 of magnitude 1.80 nC , are separated by a dist
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer: U = -4.97*10^-17 J

Explanation:

Potential Energy of point charges,

U = kqq• / r, where

U = Potential Energy

q, q• = value of electric charges

k = 8.99*10^9 N.m²/C² constant of proportionality

r = distance between two charges

a) first electric potential due to electric field of first charge

q = 3*10^-9 C

q• = q(electron) = -1.602*10^-19 C

r = 0.5 * 31 cm = 15.5 cm = 0.155 m

U1 = kqq•/r

U1 = (8.99*10^9 * 3*10^-9 * -1.602*10^-19) / 0.155

U1 = -4.32*10^-18 / 0.155

U1 = -2.79*10^-17 J

Second electric potential due to electric field of second charge

U2 = kqq•/r

U2 = (8.99*10^9 * 1.8*10^-9 * -1.602*10^-19) / 0.155

U2 = -2.59*10^-18 / 0.155

U2 = -1.67*10^-17 J

U = U1 + U2

U = -2.79*10^-17 + -1.67*10^-17

U = -4.46*10^-17 J

b) first electric potential due to electric field of the first charge

q = 3*10^-9 C

q• = q(electron) = -1.602*10^-19 C

r = 10 cm = 0.1 m

U1 = kqq•/r

U1 = (8.99*10^9 * 3*10^-9 * -1.602*10^-19) / 0.1

U1 = -4.32*10^-18 / 0.1

U1 = -4.32*10^-17 J

Second electric potential to the electric field of second charge

q = 1.8*10^-9

q• = -1.602*10^-19 C

r = 50 - 10 = 40 cm = 0.4m

U2 = (8.99*10^9 * 1.8*10^-9 * -1.602*10^-19) / 0.4

U2 = -2.59*10^-18 / 0.4

U2 = -6.48*10^-18 J

U = U1 + U2

U = -4.32*10^-17 + -6.48*10^-18

U = -4.97*10^-17 J

alex41 [277]

Answer:

v₁ = 54 cm/s

Explanation:

This question can be solved using the law of conservation of momentum:

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2

where,

m₁ = m₂ = m = mass of both balls

u₁ = pre-collision speed of cue ball = 82 cm/s

u₂ = pre-collision speed of 5-ball = 24 cm/s

v₁ = post-collision speed of cue ball = ?

v₂ = post-collision speed of 5-ball = 52 cm/s

Therefore,

m(82\ cm/s)+m(24\ cm/s)=m(v_1)+m(52\ cm/s)\\v_1 = 82\ cm/s + 24\ cm/s - 52\ cm/s\\

<u>v₁ = 54 cm/s</u>
