Hi there!

A neutral metal sphere is comprised of both ELECTRONS and PROTONS.

Recall that electrons have a NEGATIVE (-) charge, and protons have a POSITIVE (+) charge.

Opposite charges attract, and like charges repel.

In this instance, the positively-charged rod will cause the electrons in the neutral metal sphere to move towards the side facing the rod (opposite charges attract), which causes the two to be attracted to one another.

Question 5. Our results support the idea that if left to freely oscillate, a system will vibrate at a natural frequency that dep

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

(b) In ideal condition we neglect mass of spring but in real springs mass of spring adds another factor to its time period.

since we are adding a factor of mass to the system, and frequency being inversely proportional to squared root of mass, we can come to a general conclusion that it effectively reduces the natural frequency .

An object with a charge of -3.2 uC and a mass of 1.0Ã—10^(-2) kg experiences an upward electric force, due to a uniform electric

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

The magnitude of the acceleration is equal to 19.6m/s² and the acceleration is directed upwards though the magnitude of the charge has doubled. This is because the electric force is directed upwards and from newton's second law of motion the charge will have acceleration in the same direction as the electric force on the charge.

Explanation:

The detailed solution can be found in the attachment below.

A wheel with moment of inertia 25 kg. m2 and angular velocity 10 rad/s begins to speed up, with angular acceleration 15 rad/sec2

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

(A) Angular speed 40 rad/sec

Rotation = 50 rad

(b) 37812.5 J

Explanation:

We have given moment of inertia of the wheel $I=25kgm^2$

Initial angular velocity of the wheel $\omega _0=10rad/sec$

Angular acceleration $\alpha =15rad/sec^2$

(a) We know that $\omega =\omega _0+\alpha t$

We have given t = 2 sec

So $\omega =10+15\times 2=40rad/sec$

Now $\Theta =\omega _0t+\frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2=10\times 2+\frac{1}{2}\times 15\times 2^2=50rad$

(b) After 3 sec $\omega =10+15\times 3=55rad/sec$

We know that kinetic energy is given by $Ke=\frac{1}{2}I\omega ^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 25\times 55^2=37812.5J$

A ball is dropped from a window and takes two seconds to reach the ground .it starts from rest and reaches a final speed of 20m/

Akimi4 [234]

The ball can't reach the speed of 20 m/s in two seconds, unless you THROW it down from the window with a little bit of initial speed. If you just drop it, then the highest speed it can have after two seconds is 19.6 m/s .

If an object starts from rest and its speed after 2 seconds is 20 m/s, then its acceleration is 20/2 = 10 m/s^2 .

(Gravity on Earth is only 9.8 m/s^2.)

3. Which one of these has the most inertia?

Arte-miy333 [17]

b. A Boeing 747 airplane

Explanation:

The Boeing 747 airplane will have the most inertia of all. Inertia is the tendency of an object to remain at rest or uniform motion.

Newton's first law of motion is also regarded as the law of inertia.
It states that "an object will remain at rest or uniform motion motion unless acted upon by an external force".
A body that has a large mass will be more resistant to any external force that acts on it.
The Boeing 747 has the most mass of all and will have the most inertia.
