Ket [755]

Assuming that all energy of the small ball is transferred to the bigger ball upon impact, then we can say that:

Potential Energy of the small ball = Kinetic Energy of the bigger ball

Potential Energy = mass * gravity * height

Since the small ball start at 45 cm, then the height covered during the swinging movement is only:

height = 50 cm – 45 cm = 5 cm = 0.05 m

Calculating for Potential Energy, PE:

PE = 2 kg * 9.8 m / s^2 * 0.05 m = 0.98 J

Therefore, maximum kinetic energy of the bigger ball is:

<span>Max KE = PE = 0.98 J</span>

Charge is placed on two conducting spheres that are very far apart and connected by a long thin wire. The radius of the smaller

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

σ₁ = $3.167 * 10^{-6}$ C/m²

σ₂ = $7.6 * 10 ^{-6}$ C/m²

Explanation:

The given data :-

i) The radius of smaller sphere ( r ) = 5 cm.

ii) The radius of larger sphere ( R ) = 12 cm.

iii) The electric field at of larger sphere ( E₁ ) = 358 kV/m. = 358 * 1000 v/m

$E_{1} = (\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon }) (\frac{Q_{1} }{R^{2} } )$

$358000 = 9 * 10^{9 } *\frac{Q_{1} }{0.12^{2} }$

Q₁ = 572.8 $* 10^{-9}$ C

Since the field inside a conductor is zero, therefore electric potential ( V ) is constant.

V = constant

∴ $\frac{Q_{1} }{R} = \frac{Q_{2} }{r}$

$Q_{2} = \frac{r}{R} *Q_{1}$

$Q_{2} = \frac{5}{12} *572.8*10^{-9}$ = $238.666 *10^{-9}$ C

Surface charge density ( σ₁ ) for large sphere.

Area ( A₁ ) = 4 * π * R² = 4 * 3.14 * 0.12 = 0.180864 m².

σ₁ = $\frac{Q_{1} }{A_{1} }$ = $\frac{572.8 *10^{-9} }{0.180864}$ = $3.167 * 10^{-6}$ C/m².

Surface charge density ( σ₂ ) for smaller sphere.

Area ( A₂ ) = 4 * π * r² = 4 * 3.14 * 0.05² =0.0314 m².

σ₂ = $\frac{Q_{2} }{A_{2} }$ = $\frac{238.66 *10^{-9} }{0.0314}$ = $7.6 * 10 ^{-6}$ C/m²

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Amplitude, A = 0.049 meters

Explanation:

Given that,

A harmonic wave travels in the positive x direction at 6 m/s along a taught string. A fixed point on the string oscillates as a function of time according to the equation :

$y = 0.049 \cos(7t)$ .......(1)

The general equation of a wave is given by :

$y=A\cos(\omega t)$ .......(2)

A is amplitude of wave

On comparing equation (1) and (2) we get :

A = 0.049 meters

So, the amplitude of the wave is 0.049 meters.
