A charge is placed on a spherical conductor of radius r1. This sphere is then connected to a distant sphere of radius r2 (not eq

ual to r1) by a conducting wire. After the charges on the spheres are in equilibrium:__________.
1. the electric fields at the surfaces of the two spheres are equal.
2. the amount of charge on each sphere is q/2.
3. both spheres are at the same potential. the potentials are in the ratio V2/V1 = q2/q1.
4. the potentials are in the ratio V2/V1 = r2/r1 .

Answer:

Option 3 = both spheres are at the same potential.

Explanation:

So, let us complete or fill the missing gap in the question above;

" A charge is placed on a spherical conductor of radius r1. This sphere is then connected to a distant sphere of radius r2 (not equal to r1) by a conducting wire. After the charges on the spheres are in equilibrium BOTH SPHERES ARE AT THE SAME POTENTIAL"

The reason both spheres are at the same potential after the charges on the spheres are in equilibrium is given below:

=> So, if we take a look at the Question again, the kind of connection described in the question above (that is a charged sphere, say X is connected another charged sphere, say Y by a conducting wire) will eventually cause the movement of charges(which initially are not of the same potential) from X to Y and from Y to X and this will continue until both spheres are at the same potential.

A solid uniform sphere of mass 1.85 kg and diameter 45.0 cm spins about an axle through its center. Starting with an angular vel
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

The net torque is 0.0372 N m.

Explanation:

A rotational body with constant angular acceleration satisfies the kinematic equation:

\omega^{2}=\omega_{0}^{2}+2\alpha\Delta\theta (1)

with ω the final angular velocity, ωo the initial angular velocity, α the constant angular acceleration and Δθ the angular displacement (the revolutions the sphere does). To find the angular acceleration we solve (1) for α:

\frac{\omega^{2}-\omega_{0}^{2}}{2\Delta\theta}=\alpha

Because the sphere stops the final angular velocity is zero, it's important all quantities in the SI so 2.40 rev/s = 15.1 rad/s and 18.2 rev = 114.3 rad, then:

\alpha=-\frac{-(15.1)^{2}}{2(114.3)}=1.00\frac{rad}{s^{2}}

The negative sign indicates the sphere is slowing down as we expected.

Now with the angular acceleration we can use Newton's second law:

\sum\overrightarrow{\tau}=I\overrightarrow{\alpha} (2)

with ∑τ the net torque and I the moment of inertia of the sphere, for a sphere that rotates about an axle through its center its moment of inertia is:

I = \frac{2MR^{2}}{5}

With M the mass of the sphere an R its radius, then:

I = \frac{2(1.85)(\frac{0.45}{2})^{2}}{5}=0.037 kg*m^2

Then (2) is:

\sum\overrightarrow{\tau}=0.037(-1.00)=0.037 Nm

Nitella [24]

Answer:

51.2 mi/h

Explanation:

Total distance, d = 100 miles

First 60 miles with speed 55 mi/h

Next 40 miles with speed 75 mi/h

Time taken for first 60 miles, t1 = 60 / 55 = 1.09 h

Time taken for 40 miles, t2 = 40 / 75 = 0.533 h

Time spent to get stuck, t3 = 20 min = 0.33 h

Total time, t = t1 + t2 + t3 = 1.09 + 0.533 + 0.33 = 1.953 h

The average speed is defined as the ratio of total distance traveled to the total time taken.

Average speed = =\frac{100}{1.953}=51.2 mi/h

Thus, the average speed of the journey is 51.2 mi/h.
