Answer:
a) 50μC
b) 37.45 m/s
Explanation:
a) If the spheres are connected the charge in both spheres tends to be equal. This because is the situation of minimum energy.
Thus, you have:
Hence, each sphere has a charge of 50μC.
b) You use the fact that the total work done by the electric force is equal to the change in the kinetic energy of the sphere. Then, you use the following equations:
![\Delta W=\Delta K\\\\\int_{0.4}^\infty Fdr=\frac{1}{2}m[v^2-v_o^2]\\\\F=k\frac{Q^2}{r^2}\\\\v_o=0m/s\\\\m=0.08kg\\\\kQ^2\int_{0.4}^{\infty} \frac{dr}{r^2}=kQ^2[-\frac{1}{r}]_{0.4}^{\infty}=\frac{kQ^2}{0.4m}=\frac{(8.98*10^9Nm^2/C^2)(50*10^{-6}C)^2}{0.4m}\\\\kQ^2\int_{0.4}^{\infty} \frac{dr}{r^2}=56.125J](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5CDelta%20W%3D%5CDelta%20K%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Cint_%7B0.4%7D%5E%5Cinfty%20Fdr%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7Dm%5Bv%5E2-v_o%5E2%5D%5C%5C%5C%5CF%3Dk%5Cfrac%7BQ%5E2%7D%7Br%5E2%7D%5C%5C%5C%5Cv_o%3D0m%2Fs%5C%5C%5C%5Cm%3D0.08kg%5C%5C%5C%5CkQ%5E2%5Cint_%7B0.4%7D%5E%7B%5Cinfty%7D%20%5Cfrac%7Bdr%7D%7Br%5E2%7D%3DkQ%5E2%5B-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7Br%7D%5D_%7B0.4%7D%5E%7B%5Cinfty%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7BkQ%5E2%7D%7B0.4m%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B%288.98%2A10%5E9Nm%5E2%2FC%5E2%29%2850%2A10%5E%7B-6%7DC%29%5E2%7D%7B0.4m%7D%5C%5C%5C%5CkQ%5E2%5Cint_%7B0.4%7D%5E%7B%5Cinfty%7D%20%5Cfrac%7Bdr%7D%7Br%5E2%7D%3D56.125J)
where you have used the Coulomb constant = 8.98*10^9 Nm^2/C^2
Next, you equal the total work to the change in K:
hence, the speed of the spheres is 37.45 m/s
Ek = (m*V^2) / 2 where m is mass and V is speed, then we can take this equation and manipulate it a little to isolate the speed.
Ek = mv^2 / 2 — multiply both sides by 2
2Ek = mv^2 — divide both sides by m
2Ek / m = V^2 — switch sides
V^2 = 2Ek / m — plug in values
V^2 = 2*30J / 34kg
V^2 = 60J/34kg
V^2 = 1.76 m/s — sqrt of both sides
V = sqrt(1.76)
V = 1.32m/s (roughly)
Rearrange the equation F = ma to solve for acceleration<span>. You can change this formula around to solve for </span>acceleration<span> by dividing both sides by the mass, so: a = F/m. To find the </span>acceleration<span>, simply divide the force by the mass of the </span>object <span>being accelerated.
Hope i helped :)</span>
Power is equal to energy per unit time. In this case, power is proportional to energy while is inversely proportional to time,on the other hand. Given the two swimmers exerts same amount of energy but the faster swimmer just does things in faster time, then the faster swimmer should develop more power from shorter time
