Two very small 8.55-g spheres, 15.0 cm apart from center to center, are charged by adding equal numbers of electrons to each of

them.
(a)Disregarding all other forces, how many electrons would you have to add to each sphere so that the two spheres will accelerate at 25.0g when released?
(b)Which way will they accelerate?

Answer:

a) n = 4.77 × 10^7

b) They will move apart from each other.

Explanation:

a) Newton's Second Law states that:

   Force exerted by each sphere = (mass)(Acceleration)

   Force exerted by each sphere = (8.55 × 10^-3)(25) =  0.21N

Let Q denote the charge of each sphere, therefore, from Coulomb’s Law:

       F = K Q^2/d^2

      Q^2 = (0.21)(15×10^-2)^2/(9×10^9)

      Q^2 = 5.83 × 10^-23

      Q = 7.63 × 10^-12 C

To determine how many electrons need to be added, the following equation can be used:

       Q = ne  

       n = 7.63 × 10^-12/e

       n = 4.77 × 10^7

b) Since both spheres are negatively charged (having electrons), they will repel each other and accelerate away.

Answer:

1.43 x 10¹⁷.

They will move away from each other.

Explanation:

The force acting on each charged sphere is determined as F = mass x acceleration

= 8.55 x 10⁻³ x 25 x 9.8

= 2.095 N

Assuming Q is the charge on each sphere

F = \frac{9\times10^9\times Q^2}{(15\times10^{-2})^2}

Using the values, 2.095 = \frac{9\times10^9\times Q^2}{(15\times10^{-2})^2}

We find that Q² = \frac{2.095\times(15)^2\times10^{-4}}{9\times10^9}

Thus, Q = 2.289 X 10⁻⁶

The quantity of electrons = Charge / charge of a single electron

= \frac{2.289\times10^{-6}}{1.6\times10^{-19}}

=1.43 x 10¹³.

They will accelerate away from each other.

kicyunya [3294]

Response:

83.1946504051 m

Rationale:

u = Starting velocity = 60\ mph=\dfrac{60\times 1609.34}{3600}=26.82233\ m/s

s = Distance traveled = 123\ ft=\dfrac{123}{3.281}=37.4885705578\ m

\theta = Incline = 26^{\circ}

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{0^2-26.82233^2}{2\times 37.4885705578}\\\Rightarrow a=-9.5954230306\ m/s^2

Friction coefficient

\mu=-\dfrac{a}{g}\\\Rightarrow \mu=\dfrac{9.5954230306}{9.81}\\\Rightarrow \mu=0.978126710561

mg sin\theta - u mg cos\theta = ma\\\Rightarrow a=9.81(sin26-0.978126710561cos26)\\\Rightarrow a=-4.32382\ m/s^2

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{0^2-26.82233^2}{2\times -4.32382}\\\Rightarrow s=83.1946504051\ m

The calculated stopping distance is 83.1946504051 m

Yuliya22 [3333]
An increase in temperature and an increase in pressure can lead to a rise in the frequency of collisions. This can occur in several ways: first, the speed of gas molecules can be enhanced by raising their temperature, which directly affects their kinetic energy, allowing them to collide more often due to increased velocity. Secondly, if the container's size decreases, gas molecules will have less room to navigate and will therefore collide more frequently with the container's walls, increasing pressure, similar to what occurs in a piston-cylinder system.

Question 1
Keith_Richards [3271]

Answer:

1)  g = 4π² / m, 3) on the x-axis we have the pendulum lengths, while the y-axis shows the squared periods.

Explanation:

a) learners can model this system as a simple pendulum, where the angular velocity is given by

         w = √ g / l

Here, angular velocity, frequency, and period are interconnected:

         w = 2π f = 2π / T

Substituting yields:

         T = 2π√ l / g

Using this formula, students can calculate the gravitational acceleration by measuring the period for several pendulum lengths and plotting:

        T² = 4π²  l / g

We plot T² against l.

This represents a linear equation where T² is on the y-axis and l is on the x-axis:

        y = (4π² / g) l

The slope is given by:

         m = 4π² / g

Solving for g gives:

         g = 4π² / m

The slope is determined from the line's values rather than experimental data.

2) To perform the experiment, the string is secured to the sphere, then the pendulum length from the pivot to the sphere's center is measured using a tape measure. A slight angle (less than 10 degrees) is released, allowing the first swing to occur. Generally, the time for several oscillations, usually 10 or 20, is tracked to find the period:

    T = t / n

Next, a table is created comparing T² to the length, plotted with length on the x-axis to find the slope, from which the gravitational acceleration is derived.

3) The independent variable, which is the length of the pendulums, is plotted on the x-axis, while the dependent variable, the squared period, is on the y-axis.

4) Referring to the line equation:

            m = 4π² / g

             resulting in:

            g = 4π² / m

5) Once the spring is cut, the sphere continues to be influenced by gravitational acceleration. The harmonic motion ceases, and the sphere moves vertically.
