A negatively-charged rod is brought close to (but does not touch) two neutral spheres that are in contact with each other but in

sulated from the ground. If the two spheres are then separated, what kind of charge will be on the spheres

Answer:

One sphere obtains a positive charge, while the other obtains a negative charge.

Explanation:

When the negatively-charged rod is brought close to the two neutral spheres in contact with each other, the electrons in both spheres are repelled away from the rod and thus those electrons move into the second sphere farther away from the rod.

The first sphere is now short of electrons.

When the spheres are separated, the first sphere which is short of electrons now carries a net positive charge, while the other sphere which has excess electrons now carries a net negative charge.

(a) What magnitude point charge creates a 10,000 N/C electric field at a distance of 0.250 m? (b) How large is the field at 10.0
Sergio039 [100]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

(a) 6.95 x 10⁻⁸ C

(b) 6.25N/C

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The electric field (E) on a point charge, Q, is given by;

E = k x Q / r²              ---------------(i)

Where;

k = constant = 8.99 x 10⁹ N m²/C²

r = distance of the charge from a reference point.

Given from the question;

E = 10000N/C

r = 0.250m

Substitute these values into equation(i) as follows;

10000 = 8.99 x 10⁹ x Q / (0.25)²

10000 = 8.99 x 10⁹ x Q / (0.0625)

10000 = 143.84 x 10⁹ x Q

Solve for Q;

Q = 10000/(143.84 x 10⁹)

Q = 0.00695 x 10⁻⁵C

Q = 6.95 x 10⁻⁸ C

The magnitude of the charge is 6.95 x 10⁻⁸ C

(b) To get how large the field (E) will be at r = 10.0m, substitute these values including Q = 6.95 x 10⁻⁸ C into equation (i) as follows;

E = k x Q / r²

E = 8.99 x 10⁹ x 6.95 x 10⁻⁸ / 10²

E = 8.99 x 10⁹ x 6.95 x 10⁻⁸ / 100

E = 6.25N/C

Therefore, at 10.0m, the electric field will be just 6.25N/C

What energy comes from a rining bell
Harrizon [31]

Answer: Sound Energy

Sound Energy

Explanation:The vibrations produced by the ringing bell causes waves of pressure that travel or propagate through the medium that is air. Sound energy is a form of mechanical energy that is generally associated with the motion and position of the ringing bell.

Two boxers are fighting. Boxer 1 throws his 5 kg fist at boxer 2 with a speed of 9 m/s.
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

0.001 s

Explanation:

The force applied on an object is equal to the rate of change of momentum of the object:

F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}

where

F is the force applied

\Delta p is the change in momentum

\Delta t is the time interval

The change in momentum can be written as

\Delta p=m(v-u)

where

m is the mass

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

So the original equation can be written as

F=\frac{m(v-u)}{\Delta t}

In this problem:

m = 5 kg is the mass of the fist

u = 9 m/s is the initial velocity

v = 0 is the final velocity

F = -45,000 N is the force applied (negative because its direction is opposite to the motion)

Therefore, we can re-arrange the equation to solve for the time:

\Delta t=\frac{m(v-u)}{F}=\frac{(5)(0-9)}{-45,000}=0.001 s

The inner planets are relatively small bodies composed mostly of rock and metals. Why did they develop this way instead of becom
sleet_krkn [62]

The temperature of the early solar system explains why the inner planets are rocky and the outer ones are gaseous. As the gases coalesced to form a protosun, the temperature in the solar system rose. In the inner solar system temperatures were as high as 2000 K, while in the outer solar system it was as cool as 50 K. In the inner solar system, only substances with very high melting points would have remained solid. All the rest would have vaoprized. So the inner solar system objects are made of iron, silicon, magnesium, sulfer, aluminum, calcium and nickel. Many of these were present in compounds with oxygen. There were relatively few elements of any other kind in a solid state to form the inner planets. The inner planets are much smaller than the outer planets and because of this have relatively low gravity and were not able to attract large amounts of gas to their atmospheres. In the outer regions of the solar system where it was cooler, other elements like water and methane did not vaporize and were able to form the giant planets. These planets were more massive than the inner planets and were able to attract large amounts of hydrogen and helium, which is why they are composed mainly of hydrogen and helium, the most abundant elements in the solar system, and in the universe
