A polythene rod may be charged by rubbing it with a cloth while being held in the hand but a metal rod cannot be charged in a si

milar way. Explain why
Physics
1 answer:
Kamila [148]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

This is because polythene rod is an insulator , therefore when it is rubbed with a cloth , electrons move easily therefore making it charged but

Metal rod is a conductor, it conduct heat . Therefore, their atoms have electrons that is constantly in motion. Therefore rubbing it with a cloth will make any difference in making it charged because it have very huge number of stable electrons which will not allow more electrons to move through them.

astraxan [27]

Complete question:

Point charges q1=- 4.10nC and q2=+ 4.10nC are separated by a distance of 3.60mm , forming an electric dipole. The charges are in a uniform electric field whose direction makes an angle 36.8 ∘ with the line connecting the charges. What is the magnitude of this field if the torque exerted on the dipole has magnitude 7.30×10−9 N⋅m ? Express your answer in newtons per coulomb to three significant figures.

Answer:

The magnitude of this field is 826 N/C

Explanation:

Given;

The torque exerted on the dipole, T = 7.3 x 10⁻⁹ N.m

PEsinθ = T

where;

E is the magnitude of the electric field

P is the dipole moment

First, we determine the magnitude dipole moment;

Magnitude of dipole moment = q*r

P = 4.1 x 10⁻⁹ x 3.6 x 10⁻³ = 1.476 x 10⁻¹¹ C.m

Finally, we determine the magnitude of this field;

E = \frac{T}{P*sin(\theta)}=  \frac{7.3 X 10^{-9}}{1.476X10^{-11}*sin(36.8)}\\\\E = 825.6 N/C

E = 826 N/C (in three significant figures)

Therefore, the magnitude of this field is 826 N/C

A 25,000 kg traveling east collides with a 2,000 kg truck standing still on the tracks. After the collision the train and truck
Elis [28]

Answer:

24.084 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of linear momentum

Total momentum before collision equals to the total momentum after collision

Since momentum=mv where m is mass and v is velocity

M_{truck}V_{truck}=V_{common}*(M_{truck} +M_{standing}) where M_{truck} is the mass of the truck, V_{truck} is velocity of the truck, V_{common} is the common velocity of moving and standing truck after collision and M_{standing} is the mass of the standing truck

Making V_{truck} the subject we obtain

V_{truck}=\frac { V_{common}*(M_{truck} +M_{standing})}{M_{truck}}

Substituting M_{truck} as 25000 Kg, V_{common} as 22.3 m/s, M_{standing} as 2000 Kg we obtain

V_{truck}=\frac { 22.3 m/s *(25000 Kg +2000 Kg)}{25000}= 24.084 m/s

Therefore, assuming no friction and considering that after collision they still move eastwards hence common velocity and initial truck velocities are positive

The truck was moving at 24.084 m/s

The gravitational potential energy of a particle of mass m moving under the influence of a fixed mass M is given by - , where G
djverab [1.8K]

-GMm/2r is the total energy of the mass m if it is in a circular orbit about mass M.

Given

A particle of mass m moving under the influence of a fixed mass's M, gravitational potential energy of formula  -GMm/r, where r is the separation between the masses and G is the gravitational constant of the universe.

As the Gravity Potential energy of particle = -GMm/r

Total energy of particle = Kinetic energy + Potential Energy

As we know that

Kinetic energy = 1/2mv²

Also, v is equals to square root of GM/r

v = √GM/r

Put the value of v in the formula of kinetic energy

We get,

Kinetic Energy = GMm/2r

Total Energy = GMm/2r + (-GMm/r)

                     = GMm/2r - GMm/r

                     = -GMm/2r

Hence, -GMm/2r is the total energy of the mass m if it is in a circular orbit about mass M.
