A 5 kgkg sphere having a charge of ++ 8 μCμC is placed on a scale, which measures its weight in newtons. A second sphere having
Mrac [35]

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

Why is water always used in energy generation (water -> steam -> turbine) instead of a liquid with a lower specific heat c
frez [133]

There are multiple reasons for this. First of all, water is available in almost every place on the Earth. It doesn't pollute the air, doesn't cause health use and is easily handle.

Other factor is the fact that water has a really high specific heat. This means that water, and more specifically steam, can aborb and transport more energy. A lower heat capacity would imply the need to boil more of the liquid to obtain the same amount of energy. This combine with the fact that water expands at a large rate when boiling, combine with everything mentioned previously, and you get a liquid with all the characteristics that a efficient turbine requires to work.

A 225-g object is attached to a spring that has a force constant of 74.5 N/m. The object is pulled 6.25 cm to the right of equil
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

1.137278672 m/s

+5.9 cm or -5.9 cm

Explanation:

A = Amplitude = 6.25 cm

m = Mass of object = 225 g

k = Spring constant = 74.5 N/m

Maximum speed is given by

v_m=A\omega\\\Rightarrow v_m=A\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}\\\Rightarrow v_m=6.25\times 10^{-2}\times \sqrt{\dfrac{74.5}{0.225}}\\\Rightarrow v_m=1.137278672\ m/s

The maximum speed of the object is 1.137278672 m/s

Velocity is at any instant is given by

\dfrac{v_m}{3}=\omega\sqrt{A^2-x^2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{A\omega}{3}=\omega\sqrt{A^2-x^2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{A}{3}=\sqrt{A^2-x^2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{A^2}{9}=A^2-x^2\\\Rightarrow A^2-\dfrac{A^2}{9}=x^2\\\Rightarrow x^2=\dfrac{8}{9}A^2\\\Rightarrow x=A\sqrt{\dfrac{8}{9}}\\\Rightarrow x=6.25\times 10^{-2}\sqrt{\dfrac{8}{9}}\\\Rightarrow x=\pm 0.0589255650989\ m

The locations are +5.9 cm or -5.9 cm
