An unstrained horizontal spring has a length of 0.26 m and a spring constant of 180 N/m. Two small charged objects are attached

to this spring, one at each end. The charges on the objects have equal magnitudes. Because of these charges, the spring stretches by 0.039 m relative to its unstrained length. Determine (a) the possible algebraic signs and (b) the magnitude of the charges.

Answer:

a)

two like charges always repel each other while two unlike charges attract each other. Since the spring stretches by 0.039 m, the charges have the same sign. both charges are positive(+) or Negative (-)

b)

both q1 and q1 are 8.35 × 10⁻⁶ C or -8.35 × 10⁻⁶ C

Explanation:

Given that;

L = 0.26 m

k = 180 N/m

x = 0.039 m

a)

we know that two like charges always repel each other while two unlike charges attract each other. Since the spring stretches by 0.039 m, the charges have the same sign.

b)

Spring force F = kx

F = 180 × 0.039

F = 7.02 N

Now, Electrostatic force F = Keq²/r²

where r = L + x = ( 0.26 + 0.039 )

we know that proportionality constant in electrostatics equations Ke = 9×10⁹ kg⋅m3⋅s−2⋅C−2

so from the equation; F = Keq²/r²

Fr² = Keq²

q = √ ( Fr² / Ke )

we substitute

q = √ ( 7.02 N × ( 0.26 + 0.039 )² / 9×10⁹ )

q = √ ( 7.02 N × ( 0.26 + 0.039 )² / 9×10⁹ )

q =  √ (0.627595 / 9×10⁹)

q = √(6.97 × 10⁻¹¹)

q = 8.35 × 10⁻⁶ C

Therefore both q1 and q1 are 8.35 × 10⁻⁶ C or -8.35 × 10⁻⁶ C

The Earth's escape speed (the speed you need to get away forever) is about 40,000 kilometers per hour. Escape speed depends on t
Anvisha [2.4K]

The Moon s escape speed will be smaller than Earth's.

  • What is escape speed:

The minimum speed that is required for an object to free itself from the gravitational force exerted by a massive object.

The formula of escape speed is

  • v = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R} }

where

v is escape velocity

G is universal gravitational constant

M is mass of the body to be escaped from

r is distance from the center of the mass

we can say that,

Escape speed depends on the gravity of the object trying to hold the spacecraft from escaping.

we know that,

The Moon's surface gravity is about 1/6th as powerful or about 1.6 meters per second per second.

since, v ∝ g

The Moon s escape speed will be smaller than Earth's.

we measure a voltage difference of 5.0 V between two points on the conducting paper between two parallel conducting electrodes.
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

E=1824.81 V/m

Explanation:

Given that

Voltage difference = 5 V

Distance ,D= 3 mm

 θ = 24°

As we know that electric filed given as

E=\dfrac{V}{d}

Given that D is 24° with respect to the perpendicular to the electrodes.So we have to take cos component of D.

d= D cosθ

d= 3 cos24°

d = 2.74 mm

So

E=\dfrac{V}{d}

E=\dfrac{5}{2.74\times 10^{-3}}

E=1824.81 V/m

Answer:

A jar of mixed nuts is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A heterogeneous mixture is a type of mixture that is not uniform in the appearance and composition varies throughout.

The heterogeneous mixture consists of multiple phases.

A jar of mixed nuts is an example of the heterogeneous mixture because they do not have a uniform composition component differ in proportion and they do not mix, instead, they form two different layers and they can be easily separated.

Stop lamps must be visible within____ to the rear
Charra [1.4K]
The answer is 300 feet. The stop lamp or lamps on the rear of a vehicle must show a red light that is set in motion upon application of the service or foot brake and, in a vehicle manufactured or assembled on or after January 1, 1964, must be visible from a distance of not less than 300 feet to the rear in normal sunlight. Take note, if the vehicle is manufactured or assembled January 1, 1964, the stop lamp or lamps must be visible from a distance of not less than 100 feet. Also, the stop lamp may be combined with one or more other rear lamps.
