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

Technician A says that the cooling system should be tested for leaks using a pressure-operated pressure pump. Technician B says
mart [117]

Answer:

The correct option is;

Technician A only

Explanation:

Leaks in the cooling system parts such as the radiator cap can be tested with a pressure operated hand pump by attaching the pump cap to the pump with an adaptor and apply pressure enough for there to be a release of pressure at the cap.

The pressure added to the system should be maintained for up to two minutes. If the pressure drops quicker, then there is likely to be leaks in the system

The freezing and boiling point of the coolant is measured with an antifreeze tester which carries the appropriate apparatus to measure the coolants freezing and boiling points.

Calculate the minimum average power output necessary for a person to run up a 12.0 m long hillside, which is inclined at 25.0° a
Viktor [21]

Answer:

Power, P = 924.15 watts

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of the ramp, l = 12 m

Mass of the person, m = 55.8 kg

Angle between the inclined plane and the horizontal, \theta=25^{\circ}

Time, t = 3 s

Let h is the height of the hill from the horizontal,

h=l\ sin\theta

h=12\times \ sin(25)

h = 5.07 m

Let P is the power output necessary for a person to run up long hill side as :

P=\dfrac{E}{t}

P=\dfrac{mgh}{t}

P=\dfrac{55.8\times 9.8\times 5.07}{3}

P = 924.15 watts

So, the minimum average power output necessary for a person to run up is 924.15 watts. Hence, this is the required solution.
