A positive object touches a neutral electroscope, and the laves separate. Then a negative object is brought near the electroscop

e, but does not touch it. What happens to the leaves

Answer:

If the positive object is touched to the electroscope, then the leaves would diverge because of the excess positive charge on the electroscope.

If then a negative object is brought near the electroscope, the excess positive charge on the leaves would be attracted to the external terminals of the electroscope and the leaves would again lose the distance of separation and be close to one another.

Assume that the electric field E is equal to zero at a given point. Does it mean that the electric potential V must also be equa

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

No, this doesn't mean the electric potential equals zero.

Explanation:

In electrostatics, the electric field $\vec{E}$ is related to the gradient of the electric potential V with :

$\vec{E} (\vec{r}) = - \vec{\nabla} V (\vec{r})$

This means that for constant electric potential the electric field must be zero:

$V(\vec{r}) = k$

$\vec{E} (\vec{r}) = - \vec{\nabla} V (\vec{r}) = - \vec{\nabla} k$

$\vec{E} (\vec{r}) = - (\frac{\partial}{\partial x} , \frac{\partial}{\partial y } , \frac{\partial}{\partial z}) k$

$\vec{E} (\vec{r}) = - (\frac{\partial k}{\partial x} , \frac{\partial k}{\partial y } , \frac{\partial k}{\partial z})$

$\vec{E} (\vec{r}) = - (0,0,0)$

This is not the only case in which we would find an zero electric field, as, any scalar field with gradient zero will give an zero electric field. For example:

$V(\vec{r})= (x+2)^2 (y+4)^3 (z+5)^4$

give an electric field of zero at point (0,0,0)

A damped mass/spring system takes 14.0 s for its amplitude of the oscillator to decrease by a factor of 9. By what factor does t

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

The correct answer is "0.246".

Explanation:

Given that the amplitude is decreased by a factor of 9, then

$A \rightarrow (A-\frac{A}{9} )$

$A \rightarrow \frac{8A}{9}$

As we know,

Energy will be:

⇒ $E_{1}=\frac{1}{2}KA^2$

and,

⇒ $E_{2}=\frac{1}{2}K(\frac{8A}{9} )^2$

$=\frac{64KA^2}{162}$

⇒ $\Delta E=E_1-E_2$

On putting the estimated values, we get

$=\frac{1}{2}KA^2-\frac{64KA^2}{162}$

⇒ $\frac{\Delta E}{E}=\frac{\frac{20}{162}KA^2}{\frac{1}{2}KA^2}$

$=\frac{40}{162}$

$=0.246$

If the distance between two masses is tripled, the gravitational force between changes by a factor of

maw [93]

A. 1/9

Explanation:

The gravitational force between two objects is given by

$F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

m1 and m2 are the two masses

r is the distance between the two masses

From the formula, we see that the magnitude of the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance: therefore, if the distance is tripled (increased by a factor 3), the magnitude of the force changes by a factor

$\frac{1}{r^2}=\frac{1}{3^2}=\frac{1}{9}$

A rod of mass M = 2.95 kg and length L can rotate about a hinge at its left end and is initially at rest. A putty ball of mass m

madam [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

angular momentum of the putty about the point of rotation

= mvR where m is mass , v is velocity of the putty and R is perpendicular distance between line of velocity and point of rotation .

= .045 x 4.23 x 2/3 x .95 cos46

= .0837 units

moment of inertia of rod = ml² / 3 , m is mass of rod and l is length

= 2.95 x .95² / 3

I₁ = .8874 units

moment of inertia of rod + putty

I₁ + mr²

m is mass of putty and r is distance where it sticks

I₂ = .8874 + .045 x (2 x .95 / 3)²

I₂ = .905

Applying conservation of angular momentum

angular momentum of putty = final angular momentum of rod+ putty

.0837 = .905 ω

ω is final angular velocity of rod + putty

ω = .092 rad /s .
