Answer:

q\approx 6.6\cdot 10^{13}~electrons

Explanation:

<u>Coulomb's Law</u>

The force between two charged particles of charges q1 and q2 separated by a distance d is given by the Coulomb's Law formula:

\displaystyle F=k\frac{q_1q_2}{d^2}

Where:

k=9\cdot 10^9\ N.m^2/c^2

q1, q2 = the objects' charge

d= The distance between the objects

We know both charges are identical, i.e. q1=q2=q. This reduces the formula to:

\displaystyle F=k\frac{q^2}{d^2}

Since we know the force F=1 N and the distance d=1 m, let's find the common charge of the spheres solving for q:

\displaystyle q=\sqrt{\frac{F}{k}}\cdot d

Substituting values:

\displaystyle q=\sqrt{\frac{1}{9\cdot 10^9}}\cdot 1

q = 1.05\cdot 10^{-5}~c

This charge corresponds to a number of electrons given by the elementary charge of the electron:

q_e=1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}~c

Thus, the charge of any of the spheres is:

\displaystyle q = \frac{1.05\cdot 10^{-5}~c}{1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}~c}

\mathbf{q\approx 6.6\cdot 10^{13}~electrons}

Two masses —m1 and m2— are connected by light cables to the perimeters of two cylinders of radii r1 and r2 respectively, as show
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

Part a)

Mass of m2 is given as

m_2 = \frac{20}{3} kg

Part b)

Angular acceleration is given as

\alpha = 1.96 rad/s^2

Part c)

Tension in the rope is given as

T = 176.6 N

Explanation:

Part a)

When m1 and m2 both connected to the cylinder then the system is at rest

so we can use torque balance here

m_1g r_1 = m_2 g r_2

20 g(0.5) = m_2 g(1.5)

10 = 1.5 m_2

m_2 = \frac{20}{3} kg

Part b)

When block m_2 is removed then system becomes unstable

so force equation of mass m1

m_1g - T = m_1 a

also we have

T r_1 = I\alpha

now we have

m_1g = \frac{I a}{r_1^2} + m_1 a

a = \frac{m_1g}{\frac{I}{r_1^2} + m_1}

a = \frac{20 (9.81)}{\frac{45}{0.5^2} + 20}

a = 0.981 m/s^2

so angular acceleration is given as

\alpha = \frac{a}{r_1}

\alpha = \frac{0.981}{0.5}

\alpha = 1.96 rad/s^2

Part c)

Tension in the rope is given as

T = \frac{I\alpha}{r_1}

T = \frac{45 (1.96)}{0.5}

T = 176.6 N

in the figure shown, if the mass of the block is 4kg and the coefficient of static friction is 0.5 and the coefficient of kineti
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

Ff = 19.6 N

Explanation:

So since its saying whats the minimum F to move the block, we will use static friction (0.5).

We will use the equation for force of friction, which is Ff = uFn

Ff = (0.5)(4)(9.8)

Ff = 19.6 N

this is the minumum force needed to move the block, as that is the frictional force. You would need to apply a minimum force of 19.6 N to move the block
