Consider identical spherical conducting space ships in deep space where gravitational fields from other bodies are negligible co

mpared to the gravitational attraction between the ships. Construct a problem in which you place identical excess charges on the space ships to exactly counter their gravitational attraction. Calculate the amount of excess charge needed. Examine whether that charge depends on the distance between the centers of the ships, the masses of the ships, or any other factors. Discuss whether this would be an easy, difficult, or even impossible thing to do in practice.

Answer:

 q = 8.61 10⁻¹¹ m

charge does not depend on the distance between the two ships.

it is a very small charge value so it should be easy to create in each one

Explanation:

In this exercise we have two forces in balance: the electric force and the gravitational force

          F_e -F_g = 0

          F_e = F_g

Since the gravitational force is always attractive, the electric force must be repulsive, which implies that the electric charge in the two ships must be of the same sign.

Let's write Coulomb's law and gravitational attraction

         k \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2} = G \frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}

In the exercise, indicate that the two ships are identical, therefore the masses of the ships are the same and we will place the same charge on each one.

          k q² = G m²

          q = \sqrt{ \frac{G}{k} }    m

we substitute

           q = \sqrt{ \frac{ 6.67 \ 10^{-11}}{8.99 \ 10^{9}} }   m

            q = \sqrt{0.7419 \ 10^{-20}}   m

           q = 0.861 10⁻¹⁰ m

           q = 8.61 10⁻¹¹ m

This amount of charge does not depend on the distance between the two ships.

It is also proportional to the mass of the ships with the proportionality factor found.

Suppose the ships have a mass of m = 1000 kg, let's find the cargo

            q = 8.61 10⁻¹¹ 10³

            q = 8.61 10⁻⁸ C

             

this is a very small charge value so it should be easy to create in each one

A centrifuge rotor (hollow disk) is rotating at 10,000 rpm is shut off and brought to rest by a constant frictional torque of 1.
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

The no of revolutions rotor turn before coming to rest is 1,601.1943 and time taken is equal to 19.21 seconds

Explanation:

here we know that torque = I×α

     α= angular acceleration

     I = moment of inertia of hollow disc = m×k^{2}

  given that m=4.37kg

                    k=0.0710m

           torque=1.2Nm

        w_{o}=10000\times \frac{\pi}{30} rad /s

         \alpha =\frac{torque}{I}

from the above equation we can calculate the angular acceleration of the hollow disc .

  since  w^{2}-w_o^{2} =2\alpha\theta

 from this above equation  \theta=\frac{w^{2}-w_{o}^{2}}{2\alpha }

   no of revolutions = \frac{\theta}{2\pi}  = 1,601.1943.

Now to calculate time we know that time = \frac{2\theta}{w+w_{o}}

   so upon calculating we will be getting t=19.21 seconds

A bicyclist covers the first leg of a journey that is d1meters in t1seconds at a speed of v1m/s and the second leg of d2meters i
Murljashka [212]

According to motion in straight line  t1≠t2


A biker travels d1 meters in t1 seconds at v1 m/s for the first leg and d2 meters in t2 seconds at v2 m/s for the second leg. It's possible that t1t2 if his average speed is equal to the average of v1 and v2.
An object is said to be in motion if its position in relation to its surroundings changes over time. It is a shift in an object's position over time. The only type of motion that exists is motion in a straight line.


A reference system is constantly used to describe a particle's motion. An arbitrary origin point is used to create a reference system, and a coordinate system is imagined to be connected to it. The reference system for a specific problem is the coordinate system that has been selected for it. For the majority of the problems, we typically select an earth-based coordinate system as the reference system.

Explain why gases are more compressible than solid
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

If we put pressure on a solid or a liquid, there is essentially no change in volume. ... The kinetic-molecular theory explains why gases are more compressible than either liquids or solids. Gases are compressible because most of the volume of a gas is composed of the large amounts of empty space between the gas particles.

Identify a situation in which you would want to have a high
Andreyy89

Answer: A voltmeter must have a high resistance where as an ammeter must have a low resistance.

Explanation:

A voltmeter is a device which is connected in parallel to the component across which voltage needs to be measured. In a parallel circuit voltage drop is same at the nodes. The parallel connection must not offer easier path for current to divert from the main circuit and travel. Thus, a voltmeter must have high resistance.

On the other hand, an ammeter which is used to measure current in the circuit must have low resistance as it is connected in series. It should not offer resistance as it would reduce the actual current and measurement would be inaccurate.
