Answer:

For H2O, there is one atom of oxygen and two atoms of hydrogen. A molecule can be made of only one type of atom. In its stable molecular form, oxygen exists as two atoms and is written O2. to distinguish it from an atom of oxygen O, or ozone, a molecule of three oxygen atoms, O3.

Two identical small metal spheres with q1 > 0 and |q1| > |q2| attract each other with a force of magnitude 72.1 mN when se
Brrunno [24]

1) +2.19\mu C

The electrostatic force between two charges is given by

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2} (1)

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1, q2 are the two charges

r is the separation between the charges

When the two spheres are brought in contact with each other, the charge equally redistribute among the two spheres, such that each sphere will have a charge of

\frac{Q}{2}

where Q is the total charge between the two spheres.

So we can actually rewrite the force as

F=k\frac{(\frac{Q}{2})^2}{r^2}

And since we know that

r = 1.41 m (distance between the spheres)

F= 21.63 mN = 0.02163 N

(the sign is positive since the charges repel each other)

We can solve the equation for Q:

Q=2\sqrt{\frac{Fr^2}{k}}=2\sqrt{\frac{(0.02163)(1.41)^2}{8.98755\cdot 10^9}}}=4.37\cdot 10^{-6} C

So, the final charge on the sphere on the right is

\frac{Q}{2}=\frac{4.37\cdot 10^{-6} C}{2}=2.19\cdot 10^{-6}C=+2.19\mu C

2) q_1 = +6.70 \mu C

Now we know the total charge initially on the two spheres. Moreover, at the beginning we know that

F = -72.1 mN = -0.0721 N (we put a negative sign since the force is attractive, which means that the charges have opposite signs)

r = 1.41 m is the separation between the charges

And also,

q_2 = Q-q_1

So we can rewrite eq.(1) as

F=k \frac{q_1 (Q-q_1)}{r^2}

Solving for q1,

Fr^2=k (q_1 Q-q_1^2})\\kq_1^2 -kQ q_1 +Fr^2 = 0

Since Q=4.37\cdot 10^{-6} C, we can substituting all numbers into the equation:

8.98755\cdot 10^9 q_1^2 -3.93\cdot 10^4 q_1 -0.141 = 0

which gives two solutions:

q_1 = 6.70\cdot 10^{-6} C\\q_2 = -2.34\cdot 10^{-6} C

Which correspond to the values of the two charges. Therefore, the initial charge q1 on the first sphere is

q_1 = +6.70 \mu C

A 0.20 kg baseball is traveling at 40 m/s toward the batter. The ball is hit by the bat with a force of 200N, and is
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Time, t = 0.015 seconds.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass, m = 0.2kg

Force, F = 200N

Initial velocity, u = 40m/s

Final velocity, v = 25m/s

To find the time;

Ft = m(v - u)

Time, t = m(v - u)/f

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Time, t = 0.2(25 - 40)/200

Time, t = 0.2(-15)/200

Time, t = 3/200

Time, t = 0.015 seconds.

Note: We ignored the negative sign because time can't be negative.

Explain the molecular concept of thermal energy.
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

The temperature of an object increases when the molecules that make up that object move faster. Thermal energy is energy possessed by an object or system due to the movement of particles within the object or the system.
