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

Maya made this picture to represent a chemical reaction:
Natalka [10]

The statement that best explains the type of chemical reaction represented by Maya's picture is that it is neither a synthesis reaction nor a decomposition reaction because two reactants form two products. That is option B.

<h3>What is a chemical reaction?</h3>

A chemical reaction is the combination of two elements to yield a new product through the formation of bonds.

A chemical reaction is said to be a synthesis reaction when when two different atoms or molecules interact to form a different molecule or compound.

A chemical reaction is said to be a decomposition reaction when one reactant breaks down into two or more products.

Therefore, from the picture, the chemical reaction is neither a synthesis reaction nor a decomposition reaction because two reactants form two products.

a college student produces about 100 kcal of heat per hour on the average what is the rate of energy production and joules
Bond [772]

Given:

Amount of heat produced = 100 kcal per hour

Let's find the rate of energy production in joules.

We know that:

1 calorie = 4.184 Joules

1 kcal = 4.184 Joules

To find the rate of energy production in Joules, we have:

\begin{gathered} Rate=100\ast4.184 \\  \\ \text{Rate}=418.4\text{ KJ/hour} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the rate of energy production in joules is 418.4 kJ/h which is equivalent to 418400 Joules

ANSWER:

418.4 kJ/h
