A student has a small metal sphere that hangs from an insulating string. The student, in seeking to determine the charge on the

sphere, brings a positively charged rod near the sphere and finds that the sphere is attracted to the rod. The student then brings a negatively charged rod near the sphere, and finds that the sphere is again attracted to the rod. Which of the following conclusions, if any, can be drawn from these results?
a. The sphere must be negatively charged.
b. The sphere must be positively charged.
c. The sphere must be uncharged.
d. No conclusion can be made about the charge of the sphere.

Answer:

the answer the correct one is c

Explanation:

Electric charges of different signs attract and those of the same sign repel. In addition, there are two types of insulating bodies, where the loads are fixed (immobile) and metallic (with mobile loads.

Let's analyze the situation presented

* A rod with positive approaches and the sphere is attracted, so the charge on the sphere is negative

* A rod with a negative charge approaches and the sphere is attracted, therefore the charge of the sphere must be positive.

For this to happen, the sphere must be unloaded and the charge that creates the phenomenon are induced charges because the mobile charges of the same sign as the sphere are repelled.

when checking the answer the correct one is c

Two equal, but oppositely charged particles are attracted to each other electrically. The size of the force of attraction is 48.
galina1969 [7]

Given:

The force of attraction is F = 48.1 N

The separation between the charges is

\begin{gathered} r=\text{ 60.9 cm} \\ =\text{ 60.9}\times10^{-2}\text{ m} \end{gathered}

Also, the magnitude of charge q1 = q2 = q.

To find the magnitude of charge.

Explanation:

The magnitude of charge can be calculated by the formula

\begin{gathered} F=\frac{k(2q)}{r^2} \\ q=\frac{Fr^2}{2k} \end{gathered}

Here, k is the Coulomb's constant whose value is

k\text{ = 9}\times10^9\text{ N m}^2\text{ /C}^2

On substituting the values, the magnitude of charge will be

\begin{gathered} q=\frac{48.1\times(60.9^\times10^{-2})^2}{2\times9\times10^{^9}} \\ =9.91\times10^{-10}\text{ C} \\ =9.91\times10^{-4}\text{ }\mu C \end{gathered}

Thus, the magnitude of each charge is 9.91 x 10^(-4) micro Coulombs.

A car traveling with velocity v is decelerated by a constant acceleration of magnitude a. It travels a distance d before coming
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

D) quadruple.

Explanation:

Assuming the same constant acceleration a in both cases, as we have as givens  the acceleration a, the distance d, and the initial velocity v, we can use the following kinematic equations in order to compare the distances:

vf² - v₀² = 2*a*d

As the final state of the car is at rest, the final velocity vf, is 0.

⇒ - v₀² = 2*(-a)*d ⇒ d =v₀² / 2*a

1) initial velocity v₀

d₁ = v₀² / 2 a

2 ) initial velocity 2*v₀

⇒ d₂ = (2*v₀)² / 2*a = 4*v₀² / 2*a ⇒ d₂ = 4* (v₀² / 2*a)

⇒ d₂ = 4* d₁

As the equation shows, the distance required to stop, if the initial velocity were doubled, the distance required to stop would quadruple.
