Two small spheres spaced 20.0 cm apart have equal charge.
How many excess electrons must be present on each sphere if the magnitude of the force of repulsion between them is 4.57 x 10-21 N?
Number of Electrons = ?
Answer:
(a)0.531m/s
(b)0.00169
Explanation:
We are given that
Mass of bullet, m=4.67 g=
1 kg =1000 g
Speed of bullet, v=357m/s
Mass of block 1,
Mass of block 2,
Velocity of block 1,
(a)
Let velocity of the second block after the bullet imbeds itself=v2
Using conservation of momentum
Initial momentum=Final momentum







Hence, the velocity of the second block after the bullet imbeds itself=0.531m/s
(b)Initial kinetic energy before collision



Final kinetic energy after collision



Now, he ratio of the total kinetic energy after the collision to that before the collision
=
=0.00169
