How many electrons must be removed from a neutral, isolated conducting sphere to give it a positive charge of 8.0 x 10 8 C? [Q=n

Answer: the ball will have a charge of 8x10^8C when we remove 5x10^27 electrons.

Explanation:

If the sphere is neutral, then the charge of the sphere is 0C

Now, when we remove an electron (-1.6*10^-19 C) we are subtracting a negative number, so the new charge of the sphere is: 1.6*10^-19 C

Now, for N removed electrons, the charge of the sphere is:

N*1.6*10^-19 C

We want to find the number N when:

N*1.6*10^-19 C = 8.0x 10^8 C

N = (8.0/1.6)x10^(8 + 19) = 5x10^27 electrons.

The index of refraction for silicate flint glass is 1.66 for violet light that has a wavelength in air equal to 400 nm and 1.61
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

(a) Angle of incidence for violet is more than the angle of incidence for red

(b) 2.4°

Explanation:

refractive index for violet , v = 1.66

refractive index for red, nR = 1.61

wavelength for violet, λv = 400 nm

wavelength for red, λR = 700 nm

Angle of refraction, r = 30°

(a) Let iv be the angle of incidence for violet.

Use Snell,s law

nv = Sin iv / Sin r

1.66 = Sin iv / Sin 30

Sin iv = 0.83

iv = 56°

Use Snell's law for red

nR  = Sin iR / Sin r  

where, iR be the angle of incidence for red

1.61 = Sin iR / Sin 30

Sin iR = 0.805

iR = 53.6°

So, the angle of incidence for violet is more than red.

(b) iv - iR = 56° - 53.6° = 2.4°

An object thrown in the air has a velocity after t seconds that can be described by v(t) = -9.8t + 24 (in meters/second) and a h
marin [14]

Answer and Explanation: Kinetic energy is related to movement: it is the energy an object possesses during the movement. it is calculated as:

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

For the object thrown in the air:

K=\frac{1}{2}.2.[v(t)]^{2}

K=(-9.8t+24)^{2}

K=96.04t^{2}-470.4t+576

Kinetic energy of the object as a function of time: K=96.04t^{2}-470.4t+576

Potential energy is the energy an object possesses due to its position in relation to other objects. It is calculated as:

U=mgh

For the object thrown in the air:

U=9.8.2.h(t)

U=9.8.2.(-4.9t^{2}+24t+60)

U=-96.04t^{2}+470.4t+1176

Potential energy as function of time: U=-96.04t^{2}+470.4t+1176

Total kinetic and potential energy, also known as mechanical energy is

TME = 96.04t^{2}-470.4t+576 + (-96.04t^{2}+470.4t+1176)

TME = 1752

The expression shows that total energy of an object thrown in the air is constant and independent of time.

John runs 1.0 m/s at first, and then accelerates to 1.6 m/s during
erastova [34]

Answer: 0.13m/s^2

Explanation:

Formula: a=\frac{V_2-V_1}{t}

Where;

a = acceleration

V2 = final velocity

V1 = initial velocity

t = time

If John runs 1.0 m/s first, we assume this is V1. He accelerates to 1.6 m/s; this is V2.

a=\frac{1.6m/s-1.0m/s}{4.5s}

a=\frac{0.6m/s}{4.5s}

a=0.13m/s^2

morpeh [17]

Answer:

<em>a) Fvt cosθ</em>

<em>b) Fv cosθ</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Each horse exerts a force = F

the rope is inclined at an angle = θ

speed of each horse = v

a) In time t, the distance traveled d = speed x time

i.e d = v x t = vt

also, the resultant force = F cosθ

Work done W = force x distance

W = F cosθ x vt = <em>Fvt cosθ</em>

<em></em>

b) Power provided by the horse P = force x speed

P = F cosθ x v

P = <em>Fv cosθ</em>
