Of the charge Q initially on a tiny sphere, a portion q is to be transferred to a second, nearby sphere. Both spheres can be tre

ated as particles and are fixed with a certain separation. (a) For what value of q/Q will the electrostatic force between the two spheres be maximized? What are the (b) smaller and (c) larger values of q/Q that give a force magnitude that is 75% of that maximum?

Answer:

2. Smaller value of q = 1/4Q

3. Larger value of q = 3/4Q

Explanation:

1. Please check the attachment for the solution of part 1. Due to time factor I couldn't type out the solution properly.

2. The smaller value is

F = 75% = 75/100

= 3/4 * Q²/16piEod² ---3

When we equate 1 and 3

We get 3Q²/16 = Qq - q² from here we cross multiply to get

3Q² = 16(Qq-q²)

3Q² = 16Qq-16q²

16q² - 16Qq + 3Q² = 0

When solve this out using the quadratic equation formula, we have:

Q/2 +- 2Q/8

We can get the smaller value of q as

Q/2-2Q/8

Solve using LCM we get

2Q/8 = 1/4Q = Q/4

C. The larger value of q

Q/2+2Q/8

= 6Q/8

= 3Q/4

Please use the attachment it will guide you to understand this better.

Suppose of methane are burned in air at a pressure of exactly and a temperature of . Calculate the volume of carbon dioxide gas

Licemer1 [7]

There are supposed to be numbers in these places:

" _____ of methane"

" ... pressure of exactly _____ "

" ... temperature of _____ "

I've seen a lot of questions with missing numbers before, but I think this is the first time I ever saw a question where even the number of significant digits to round the answer to is missing.

"Round your answer to _____ significant digits."

Hardness is indirectly related to: specific gravity surface roughness strength of chemical bonds weight

Zepler [3.9K]

The strength of chemical bonds would be the best answer to this question. Hardness is indirectly related to the strength of chemical bonds. Hardness is the resistance from the destruction of an object itself from a material. Hardness does not need to strength of chemical bonds in order to have this resistance.

Coherent light with wavelength = 600 nm falls on two very narrow closely spaced slits and the interference pattern is observed o

Mrac [35]

Answer:

The distance between the two slits is 1.2mm.

Explanation:

The physicist Thomas Young establishes, through its double slit experiment, a relationship between the interference (constructive or destructive) of a wave, the separation between the slits, the distance between the two slits to the screen and the wavelength.

$\Lambda x = L\frac{\lambda}{d}$ (1)

Where $\Lambda x$ is the distance between two adjacent maxima, L is the distance of the screen from the slits, $\lambda$ is the wavelength and d is the separation between the slits.

If light pass through two slits a diffraction pattern in a screen will be gotten, at which each bright region corresponds to a crest, a dark region to a trough, as consequence of constructive interference and destructive interference in different points of its propagation to the screen.

Therefore, d can be isolated from equation 1.

$d = L\frac{\lambda}{\Lambda x}$ (2)

Notice that it is necessary to express L and $\lambda$ in units of millimeters.

$L = 4m \cdot \frac{1000mm}{1m}$ ⇒ $4000mm$

$\lambda = 600nm \cdot \frac{1mm}{1x10^{6}nm}$ ⇒ $0.0006mm$

$d = (4000mm)\frac{0.0006mm}{2mm}$

$d = 1.2mm$

Hence, the distance between the two slits is 1.2mm.
