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

During an investigation, a scientist heated 123.6 g of copper carbonate till it decomposed to form a black residue. The total ma
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

See below explanation

Explanation:

The correspondent chemical reaction for copper carbonate decomposed by heat is:

CuCO₃ (s) → CuO (s) + CO₂ (g)

Considering all molar mass (MM) for each element ( we consider rounded numbers) :

MM CuCO₃ = 123 g/mol

MM CuO = 79 g/mol

MM CO₂ = 44 g/mol

Statement mentions that scientis heated 123.6 g of CuCO₃ (almost a MM), until a black residue is obtained, which weights 79.6 g : this solid residue is formed by CuO, and the remaining mass (approximatelly 44 g) belongs to teh second product, this is, CO₂; as it is a gas compund, it is not certainly included on the solid residue.

So, law of conservation mass is true for this case, since: 123.6 g = 79.6 g + 44 g. As explained, on the solid residue, we don not include the 44 g, which  "escaped" from our system, since it is a gas compound (CO₂)

The kinetic energy of a rocket is increased by a factor of eight after its engines are fired, whereas its total mass is reduced
Rudik [331]

The momentum increases by a factor of 2

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by rewriting the momentum of the rocket in terms of the kinetic energy and the mass.

The kinetic energy of the rocket is:

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2 (1)

where

m is the mass

v is the velocity

The momentum of the rocket is

p=mv (2)

From eq.(1) we get

v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}

and substituting into (2),

p=\sqrt{2mK}

Now in this problem we have:

- The kinetic energy of the rocket is increased by a factor 8:

K' = 8K

- The mass is reduced by half:

m'=\frac{m}{2}

Substituting, we find the new momentum:

p'=\sqrt{2(\frac{m}{2}(8K)}=\sqrt{4(2mK)}=2\sqrt{2mK}=2p

So, the momentum increases by a factor of 2.
