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)

Laura and Elana are discussing how to solve the following problem: "A canary sits 10 m from the end of a 30-m-long clothesline,
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

f=2.236\ Hz

Explanation:

Given:

Length of a rope,l=30\ m

Position of Canary on the rope from one end, l_c=10\ m

Position of Grackle on the rope from another end, l_g=5\ m

Tension in the rope, F_T=200\ N

linear mass distribution on the rope, \mu=0.1\ kg.m^{-1}

We have for the speed of wave on the string:

v^2=\frac{F_T}{\mu}

v^2=\frac{200}{\0.1}

v=44.7\ m.s^{-1}

<em>For canary to be undisturbed we need a node at this location.</em>

<em>Also, at the end close to Canary there must be a node to avoid any change in pattern of vibration.</em>

So,

the distance between Canary and the closer end must be equal to half the wavelength.

\frac{\lambda}{2} =10\ m

\Rightarrow \lambda=20\ m

∴Wavelength of wave to be produced = 20 m. This will give us nodes at the multiples of 10 and anti-nodes at the multiples of 5.

Now, frequency:

f=\frac{v}{\lambda}

f=\frac{44.7}{20}

f=2.236\ Hz

What traction of the radioisotope<br>remains in the body after one day?​
r-ruslan [8.4K]

The fraction of radioisotope left after 1 day is (\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{1}{\tau}}, with the half-life expressed in days

Explanation:

The question is incomplete: however, we can still answer as follows.

The mass of a radioactive sample after a time t is given by the equation:

m(t)=m_0 (\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{\tau}}

where:

m_0 is the mass of the radioactive sample at t = 0

\tau is the half-life of the sample

This means that the mass of the sample halves after one half-life.

We can rewrite the equation as

\frac{m(t)}{m_0}=(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{\tau}}

And the term on the left represents the fraction of the radioisotope left after a certain time t.

Therefore, after t = 1 days, the fraction of radioisotope left in the body is

\frac{m(1)}{m_0}=(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{1}{\tau}}

where the half-life \tau must be expressed in days in order to match the units.
