You have two small spheres, each with a mass of 2.40 grams, separated by a distance of 10.0 cm. You remove the same number of el

ectrons from each sphere.
1) What is the charge on each sphere if their gravitational attraction is exactly equal to their electrical repulsion?

2) How many electrons did you remove from each sphere?

Answer:

q = 2.066* 10⁻¹³ C.

n = 1,291,250 electrons.

Explanation:

1)

  • If the gravitational attraction is equal to their electrical repulsion, we can write the following equation:

       F_{g} = F_{c} (1)

  • where Fg is the gravitational attraction, that can be written as follows        according Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation:

       F_{g} = G*\frac{m_{1}*m_{2}}{r_{12}^{2}} (2)

  • Fc, due to it is the electrical repulsion between both charged spheres, must obey Coulomb's Law (assuming  we can treat both spheres as point charges), as follows:

       F_{c} = k*\frac{q_{1}*q_{2}}{r_{12}^{2}} (3)

  • since m₁ = m₂ = 0.0024 kg, and  r₁₂ = 0.1m, G and k universal constants, and q₁ = q₂ = Q, we can replace the values in (2) and (3), so we can rewrite (1) as follows:

       G*\frac{(0.0024kg)^{2}}{r_{12}^{2}} = k*\frac{Q^{2}}{r_{12}^{2}} (4)

  • Since obviously the distance is the same on both sides, we can cancel them out, and solve (4) for Q² first, as follows:

       Q^{2} = \frac{6.67e-11*(0.0024kg)^{2}}{9e9Nm2/C2} = 4.27*e-26 C2 (5)

  • Since both charges are the same, the charge on each sphere is just the square root of (5):
  • Q = 2.066* 10⁻¹³ C.

2)

  • Assuming that both spheres were electrically neutral before being charged, the negative charge removed must be equal to the positive charge on the spheres.
  • Now, since each electron carries an elementary charge equal to -1.6*10⁻¹⁹ C, in order to get the number of electrons removed from each sphere, we need to divide the charge removed from each sphere (the outcome of part 1) with negative sign) by the elementary charge, as follows:
  • n_{e} =\frac{-2.066e-13C}{-1.6e-19C} = 1,291,250 electrons. (6)

Consider a thin rod of mass 3.2 kg, length 1.2 m and uniform density. The rod is pivoted at one end on a frictionless horizontal
notsponge [240]

Answer:

the angular acceleration is 9.7 rad/s^{2}

Explanation:

given information:

mass of thin rod, m = 3.2 kg

the length of the rod, L = 1.2

angle, θ = 38

to find the acceleration of the rod, we can use the torque's formula as below,

τ = Iα

where

τ = torque

I = inertia

σ = acceleration

moment inertia of this rod, I

I = \frac{1}{3} mL^{2}

τ = F d, d = \frac{L}{2}cosθ

τ = m g \frac{L}{2}cosθ

now we can substitute the both equation,

τ = Iα

α = τ/I

  = (m g \frac{L}{2}cosθ)/(\frac{1}{3} mL^{2})

  = 3gcosθ/2L

  = 3 (9.8)cos 38°/(2 x 1.2)

  = 9.7 rad/s^{2}

Uma carga puntiforme de + 3,0uC é colocada em um ponto P de um campo elétrico gerado por uma partícula eletrizada com carga desc
expeople1 [14]

Responda:

1) E = 6 × 10 ^ 6NC ^ -1 2) Q = 6 × 10 ^ -5

Explicação:

Dado o seguinte:

Carga (q) = 3uC = 3 × 10 ^ -6C

Força elétrica (Fe) = 18N

Intensidade do campo elétrico (E) =?

1)

Lembre-se:

Força elétrica (Fe) = carga (q) * Intensidade do campo elétrico (E)

Fe = qE; E = Fe / q

E = 18N / (3 × 10 ^ -6C)

E = 6N / 10 ^ -6C

E = 6 × 10 ^ 6NC ^ -1

2)

Lembre-se:

E = kQ / r ^ 2

E = intensidade do campo elétrico

Q = carga de origem

r = distância de espera = 30cm = 30/100 = 0,3m

K = 9,0 × 10 ^ 9

6 × 10 ^ 6 = (9,0 × 10 ^ 9 * Q) / 0,3 ^ 2

9,0 × 10 ^ 9 * Q = 6 × 10 ^ 6 * 0,09

Q = 0,54 × 10 ^ 6 / 9,0 × 10 ^ 9

Q = 0,06 × 10 ^ (6-9)

Q = 0,06 × 10 ^ -3

Q = 6 × 10 ^ -5 = 60 × 10 ^ -6 = 60μC
