Answer:

The ratio (U₁/U₂) = 6

Explanation:

U, the potential energy is given as

U = kqQ/r

k = Coulomb's constant

q = charge we're concerned about

Q = charge of the negative plate of the capacitor

r = distance of q from the negative plate of the capacitor.

For charge q₁

U₁ = kq₁Q/s

U₂ = kq₂Q/2s

But q₂ = q₁/3

U₂ becomes U₂ = kq₁Q/6s

U₁ = kq₁Q/s

U₂ = kq₁Q/6s

(U₁/U₂) = 6

You and your friend throw balloons filled with water from the roof of a several story apartment house. You simply drop a balloon
Aleks [24]

Answer:

Height = 53.361 m

Explanation:

There are two balloons being thrown down, one with initial speed (u1) = 0 and the other with initial speed (u2) = 43.12

From the given information we make the following summary

u_{1} = 0m/s

t_{1} = t

u_{2} = 43.12m/s

t_{2} = (t-2.2)s

The distance by the first balloon is

D = u_{1} t_{1}  + \frac{1}{2} at_{1}^2

where

a = 9.8m/s2

Inputting the values

D = (0)t + \frac{1}{2} (9.8)t^2\\ D = 4.9t^2

The distance traveled by the second balloon

D = u_{2} t_{2}  + \frac{1}{2} at_{2}^2

Inputting the values

D = (43.12)(t-2.2)  + \frac{1}{2} (9.8)(t-2.2)^2

simplifying

D = 4.9t^2 + 21.56t -71.148

Substituting D of the first balloon into the D of the second balloon and solving

4.9t^2 = 4.9t^2 + 21.56t -71.148 \\ 21.56t = 71.148\\ t = 3.3s

Now we know the value of t. We input this into the equation of the first balloon the to get height of the apartment

D = 4.9(3.3)^2\\ D = 53.361 m

A ping-pong ball weighs 0.025 N. The ball is placed inside a cup that sits on top of a vertical spring. If the spring is compres
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

Explanation:

The energy stored in the spring is used to throw the ball upwards . Let the height reached be h

stored energy of spring = 1/2 k y² , k is spring constant and y is compression created in the spring

stored energy of spring = potential energy of the ball

1/2 k y² = mgh , m is mass of the ball , h is height attained by ball

.5 k x .055² = .025  x 2.84

.0015125 k = .071

k = .071 / .0015125

= 46.9 N / m .

A strip 1.2 mm wide is moving at a speed of 25 cm/s through a uniform magnetic field of 5.6 t. what is the maximum hall voltage
Alex787 [66]
The equation for Hall voltage Vh is:

Vh=v*B*w, where v is the velocity of the strip, B is the magnitude of the magnetic field, and w is the width of the strip. 

v=25 cm/s = 0.25 m/s
B=5.6 T
w= 1.2 mm = 0.0012 m

We input the numbers into the equation and get:

Vh= 0.25*5.6*0.0012 = 0.00168 V

The maximum Hall voltage is Vh= 0.00168 V.
