Common transparent tape becomes charged when pulled from a dispenser. If one piece is placed above another, the repulsive force

can be great enough to support the top piece's weight. Assuming equal point charges (only an approximation), calculate the magnitude of the charge if electrostatic force is great enough to support the weight of a 12.0 mg piece of tape held 0.55 cm above another. (The magnitude of this charge is consistent with what is typical of static electricity.)

Answer:

    q = 2 10⁻⁸ C

Explanation:

For this exercise we use the translational equilibrium equation

                    F_e -A =

                    F_e = W

the electric force is given by Coulomb's law

                    F_e = k \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

in this case they indicate that the loads on the tapes are equal

                    F_e = k q² / r²

we substitute

                    k q² / r² = m g

                    q = \sqrt{ \frac{mg r^2}{k} }

calculate  

                     q = \sqrt { \frac{ 12 \ 10^{-3}  \ 9.8 (0.55 \ 10^{-2})^2 }{9 \ 10^9}      }    

                     q = \sqrt{ 3.9526 \ 10^{-16}

                     q = 1,999 10⁻⁸ C

                     q = 2 10⁻⁸ C

Find A and effective resistance.<br> (Ill give Brainliest if you provide explaination)
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

A = 2.4 A

R_{eq}  = 5 \ \Omega

Explanation:

The voltage in the circuit, V = 12 V

The given circuit shows four resistors with R₁ and R₂ arranged in series with both in parallel to R₃ and R₄ which are is series to each other

R₁ = 4 Ω

R₂ = 6 Ω

R₄ = 5 Ω

The voltage across R₃ = 6 V

Voltage across parallel resistors are equal, therefore;

The total voltage across R₃ and R₄ = 12 V

The total voltage across R₁ and R₂ = 12 V

The voltage across R₃ + The voltage across R₄ = 12 V

∴ The voltage across R₄ = 12 V - 6 V = 6 V

The current flowing through  R₄ = 6V/(5 Ω) = 1.2 A

The current flowing through R₃ = The current flowing through R₄ = 1.2 A

The resistor, R₃ = 6 V/1.2 A = 5 Ω

Therefore, we have;

The sum of resistors in series are R₁ + R₂ and R₃ + R₄, which gives;

R_{series \, 1} = R₁ + R₂ = 4 Ω + 6 Ω = 10 Ω

R_{series \, 2} = R₃ + R₄ = 5 Ω + 5 Ω = 10 Ω

The sum of the resistors in parallel is given as follows;

\dfrac{1}{R_{eq}}  = \dfrac{1}{R_{series \, 1}} + \dfrac{1}{R_{series \, 2}} = \dfrac{R_{series \, 2} + R_{series \, 1}}{R_{series \, 1} \times R_{series \, 2}}

Therefore;

R_{eq} =  \dfrac{R_{series \, 1} \times  R_{series \, 2}}{R_{series \, 1} + R_{series \, 2}}

Therefore;

R_{eq} =  \dfrac{10\times  10}{10 + 10} \ \Omega = 5 \ \Omega

R_{eq}  = 5 \ \Omega

The value of the current, <em>A</em>, in the circuit, I = V/R_{eq}

A = I = 12 V/(5 Ω) = 2.4 A

A = 2.4 A

Examine the information. A truck accelerates 3 km/h/s south. Which option correctly describes the truck’s acceleration?
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

d. Every second, the truck’s velocity increases by 3 km/h to the south.

Explanation:

Acelleration can be defined as change of velocity over change of time.

That's why if we say:  "A truck accelerates 3 km/h/s south."

We are saying that the acceleration of the truck variate 3Km/h wich is  velocity of the truck, and it variates every second and also its direction is south.

What Occurs at divergent boundaries and creates new seafloor
lisabon 2012 [21]
Most active divergent plate boundaries occur between oceanic plates and exist as mid-oceanic ridges. Divergent boundaries also form volcanic islands which occur when the plates move apart to produce gaps which molten lava rises to fill.
