Metal sphere A is hung from the ceiling by a long, thin string and given a positive charge. An identical sphere B is suspended n

earby with an identical string and given a negative charge that has the same magnitude as the charge on A. The two spheres are 50 mm apart when in equilibrium. If an identical sphere C carrying no surplus charge is placed between them, does the distance between A and B increase, decrease, or remain the same?

Answer:

The distance between A decreases and that of B increases since the equilibrium only reacts to differing spheres of this object.

A vector A is added to B=6i-8j. The resultant vector is in the positive x direction and has a magnitude equal to A . What is the
Yuliya22 [1153]

The answer is letter d, 8.3.

 

Here’s a solution for the given problem:

 

We have:

B = 6i - 8j 


Let A be unknown; we'll denote A as = mi + nj 



The resultant A+B lies along the x-axis (which implies A+B = Ki + 0j, where K is yet to be determined,

 

and we also know the magnitude of A+B is equivalent to the magnitude of A,

 

therefore, mag(A+B)=K=sqrt(m^2+n^2), or K^2 = m^2+n^2. 



Using vector addition, A+B becomes (m+6)i + (n-8)j.

 

Since we know A+B = Ki + 0j, we can establish that: 

m + 6 = K 


n - 8 = 0, which gives n=8. 

Thus, K^2=m^2+n^2 means (m+6)^2 = m^2 +8^2 


= m^2 + 12m + 36 = m^2 + 64 


which gives us 12m = 28 


m = 2.33333... 

Consequently, the magnitude of A is sqrt[(2.333...)^2 + 8^2] = 8.3333.

A window washer on a hanging platform cleans the outside of windows on a skyscraper. The washer hoists the platform up the side
kicyunya [1025]

Answer:

The acceleration of the platform is - 1.8 m/s²

Explanation:

The net force on a body causes that body to accelerate in the direction of the resultant force applied.

Setting up the force equilibrium for the configuration:

ma = 800 - mg

100a = 800 - 100×9.8

100a = - 180

100a = - 180

a = - 1.8 m/s²

This indicates that the body is falling downward.

Steel blocks A and B, which have equal masses, are at TA = 300 oC and T8 = 400 oC. Block C, with mc - 2mA, is at TC = 350 oC. Bl
serg [1198]

Answer:

b) TA = TB = TC

Explanation:

  • When the blocks are brought into contact and isolated from the environment, they will exchange heat until they achieve thermal equilibrium.
  • During this exchange, the hotter body will lose heat, which will be gained by the cooler body.
  • The equilibrium state will be established once this equation is satisfied:

       \Delta Q = c_{st}* m_{A} * (T_{fin} - T_{0A} ) = c_{st}* m_{B} * (T_{0B} - T_{fin} )

  • Substituting the initial temperatures T₀A = 300º C and T₀B = 400ºC, while simplifying for equal block masses mA = mB, enables us to solve for the final temperature, Tfin:

       (400 \ºC - T_{fin}) = (T_{fin} - 300 \ºC) \\ \\ 2* T_{fin} = 700\ºC\\ \\ T_{fin} = 350\ºC

  • At equilibrium, when both blocks combine, they will yield a uniform final temperature of 350ºC.
  • When block C, also at this temperature, makes contact, all three blocks will simultaneously reflect this final temperature of 350 ºC.
  • Therefore, option b) is correct.

An electrical short cuts off all power to a submersible diving vehicle when it is a distance of 28 m below the surface of the oc
Ostrovityanka [942]

Answer:

F=126339.5N

Explanation:

To compute the force required to escape, a free-body diagram for the hatch must be drawn. We will equate the downward and upward forces, thus applying the following equation:

Fw=W+Fi+F

where

Fw=   force or weight exerted by the water column above the submarine.

To calculate Fw, we can use:

Fw=h. γ. A

h=height

γ= specific weight of seawater = 10074N / m ^ 3

A=Area

Fw=28x10074x0.7=197467N

w represents the hatch weight = 200N

Fi denotes the internal pressure force in the submarine, which is 1 atm = 101325Pa. We can calculate this force using:

Fi=PA=101325x0.7=70927.5N

Finally, the force needed to open the hatch is determined by the original equation:

Fw=W+Fi+F

F=Fw-W+Fi

F=197467N-200N-70927.5N

F=126339.5N
