We have three identical metallic spheres A, B, C. Initially sphere A is charged with charge Q, while B and C are neutral. First,

sphere A is brought into contact with sphere B and then separated from it. After that, sphere A is brought into contact with sphere C and then separated from it. Finally, sphere A is brought into contact with sphere B again, and then separated from it.

Answer:

The final charges of each sphere are:   q_A = 3/8 Q , q_B = 3/8 Q ,               q_C = 3/4 Q

Explanation:

This problem asks for the final charge of each sphere, for this we must use that the charge is distributed evenly over a metal surface.

Let's start Sphere A makes contact with sphere B, whereby each one ends with half of the initial charge, at this point

                q_A = Q / 2

                q_B = Q / 2

Now sphere A touches sphere C, ending with half the charge

                q_A = ½ (Q / 2) = ¼ Q

                q_B = ¼ Q

Now the sphere A that has Q / 4 of the initial charge is put in contact with the sphere B that has Q / 2 of the initial charge, the total charge is the sum of the charge

                  q = Q / 4 + Q / 2 = ¾ Q

This is the charge distributed between the two spheres, sphere A is 3/8 Q and sphere B is 3/8 Q

                  q_A = 3/8 Q

                  q_B = 3/8 Q

The final charges of each sphere are:

                q_A = 3/8 Q

                q_B = 3/8 Q

                q_C = 3/4 Q

A skateboarder with a mass of 60 kg moves with a force of 20 N. What is her acceleration?
Zanzabum

Explanation:

Solution,

  • Mass(m)= 60 kg
  • Force (F)= 20 N
  • Acceleration (a)= ?

We know that,

  • F=ma
  • a=F/m
  • a=20/60
  • a=0.333 m/s²

So, her acceleration is 0.333 m/s².

If the kinetic energy of an electron is 4.1e-18 j, what is the speed of the electron? (you can use the approximate (nonrelativis
arlik [135]
The kinetic energy of the electron is
K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2
where m=9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg is the mass of the electron and v its speed. Since we know the value of the kinetic energy, K=4.1 \cdot 10^{-18} J, we can find the value of the speed v:
v= \sqrt{ \frac{2K}{m} }= \sqrt{ \frac{2\cdot 4.1 \cdot 10^{-18}J}{9.1 \cdot 10^{-31}kg} }  = 3\cdot 10^6 m/s

A spherical submersible 1.84 m in radius, armed with multiple cameras, descends under water in a region of the Atlantic Ocean kn
Drupady [299]

Answer:

23932242.5 Pa

Explanation:

P_a = Atmospheric pressure = 1.013\times 10^5\ Pa

P_w = Pressure of seawater

\rho = Density of sea water = 1.025\times 10^3\ kg/m^3

h = Depth of shipwreck = 2.37\times 10^3\ m

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

The absolute pressure is given by

P_{ab}=P_a+P_w\\\Rightarrow P_{ab}=1.013\times 10^5+1.025\times 10^3\times 9.81\times 2.37\times 10^3\\\Rightarrow P_{ab}=23932242.5\ Pa

The absolute pressure at the depth of the shipwreck is 23932242.5 Pa
