B. If you press that into a calculator it comes up with 153.6. You then shift the decimal point 2 times forward and you end up getting 1.5 x 10^2 V.
Answer:
F_Balance = 46.6 N ,m' = 4,755 kg
Explanation:
In this exercise, when the sphere is placed on the balance, it indicates the weight of the sphere, when another sphere of opposite charge is placed, they are attracted so that the balance reading decreases, resulting in
∑ F = 0
Fe –W + F_Balance = 0
F_Balance = - Fe + W
The electric force is given by Coulomb's law
Fe = k q₁ q₂ / r₂
The weight is
W = mg
Let's replace
F_Balance = mg - k q₁q₂ / r₂
Let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system
q₁ = + 8 μC = +8 10⁻⁶ C
q₂ = - 3 μC = - 3 10⁻⁶ C
r = 0.3 m = 0.3 m
Let's calculate
F_Balance = 5 9.8 - 8.99 10⁹ 8 10⁻⁶ 3 10⁻⁶ / (0.3)²
F_Balance = 49 - 2,397
F_Balance = 46.6 N
This is the balance reading, if it is calibrated in kg, it must be divided by the value of the gravity acceleration.
Mass reading is
m' = F_Balance / g
m' = 46.6 /9.8
m' = 4,755 kg
Winter
It is winter because the Northern Hemisphere is not facing the sun.
The electrical symbols are very important especially when fixing electrical appliances because it tells you where the wire of neutral and live go.
