(a) If an isolated conducting sphere 5.0 cm in radius has a net charge of 4.9 μC and if V = 0 at infinity, what is the potential

on the surface of the sphere? (b) Can this situation actually occur, given that the air around the sphere undergoes electrical breakdown when the field exceeds 3.0 MV/m?

Answer:

Part a:  360000 V

Part b: no

Explanation:

Part a:  

V = k q/r = (9^9)* (4.9^-6)/(0.05) = 360000 V  

Part b:

the electric field on the surface of the sphere :

E=k q/r^2

 =3.6 MV/m

therefore the air around the sphere undergoes electrical breakdown

A firecracker breaks up into several pieces, one of which has a mass of 200 g and flies off along the x-axis with a speed of 82.
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

The magnitude of the total momentum is 21.2 kg m/s and its direction is 39.5° from the x-axis.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The total momentum is calculated as the sum of the momenta of the pieces.

The momentum of each piece is calculated as follows:

p = m · v

Where:

p = momentum.

m =  mass.

v = velocity.

The momentum is a vector. The 200 g-piece flies along the x-axis then, its momentum will be:

p = (m · v, 0)

p = (0.200 kg · 82.0 m/s, 0)

p = (16.4 kg m/s, 0)

The 300 g-piece flies along the y-axis. Its momentum vector will be:

p =(0, m · v)

p = (0, 0.300 kg · 45.0 m/s)

p = (0, 13.5 kg m/s)

The total momentum is the sum of each momentum:

Total momentum = (16.4 kg m/s, 0) + (0, 13.5 kg m/s)

Total momentum = (16.4 kg m/s + 0, 0 + 13.5 kg m/s)

Total momentum = (16.4 kg m/s, 13.5 kg m/s)

The magnitude of the total momentum is calculated as follows:

|p| = \sqrt{(16.4 kgm/s)^2+(13.5 kg m/s)^2}= 21.2 kg m/s

The direction of the momentum vector is calculated using trigonometry:

cos θ = px/p

Where px is the horizontal component of the total momentum and p is the magnitude of the total momentum.

cos θ = 16.4 kg m/s / 21.2 kg m/s

θ = 39.3  (39.5° if we do not round the magnitude of the total momentum)

Then, the magnitude of the total momentum is 21.2 kg m/s and its direction is 39.5° from the x-axis.

a fixed mass of a n ideal gas is heated from 50 to 80C at a constant pressure at 1 atm and again at a constant pressure of 3 atm
vitfil [10]

Answer:

The energy required is same for both cases since specific heat capacity (Cp) does not vary with pressure.

Explanation:

Given;

initial temperature, t₁ = 50 °C

final temperature, t₂ = 80 °C

Change in temperature, ΔT =80 °C - 50 °C = 30 °C

Pressure for case 1 = 1 atm

Pressure for case 2 = 3 atm

Energy required in both cases is given;

Q = M*C_p*\delta T

where;

Cp is specific heat capacity, which varies only with temperature and not with pressure.

Therefore, the energy required is same for both cases since specific heat capacity (Cp) does not vary with pressure.

g Suppose Howard is pulling a bucket of bricks up along the side of a building with a rope. The bricks have a mass of 20 kg and
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

= 236N

Explanation:

tension T = mg + ma

Given that,

m = 20kg

g = 9.8 m/s²

a = 2.0 m/s²

T = m(g + a)

T = 20( 9.8 + 2.0)

  = 20(11.8)

  = 236N
