A metal ball with diameter of a half a centimeter and hanging from an insulating thread is charged up with 1010 excess electrons

. an initially uncharged identical metal ball hanging from an insulating thread is brought in contact with the first ball, then moved away, and they hang so that the distance between their centers is 20 cm. (a) calculate the electric force one ball exerts on the other, and state whether it is attractive or repulsive. (enter the magnitude of the force.)

When the metals touch together, half the charge of the charged metal flows to the other because the electrons all repel each other. Therefore this also means that each metal ball contains the same amount of electrons. Each ball has 5^10 electrons, this is equivalent to a total charge of:

Q1 = Q2 = (1.602 * 10^-19 coulombs / electron) 5^10 electrons = Q

Q = 1.564 * 10^-12 C

 

Now using the Coulombs law to find for the electric force:

F = k q1 q2 / r^2 = k (Q)^2 / r^2

where k is a contant = 9 * 10^9 N m^2 / C^2

r = the distance of the two metals = 0.2 m

So,

F = (9 * 10^9 N m^2 / C^2) (1.564 * 10^-12 C)^2 / (0.2 m)^2

F = 5.51 * 10^-13 N

 

Since the two metals repel therefore they are the one which exerts the force hence the magnitude must be negative:

<span>F = - 5.51 * 10^-13 N</span>

A snowball is melting at a rate of 324π mm3/s. At what rate is the radius decreasing when the volume of the snowball is 972π mm3
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

The radius is decreasing at 4 mm/s

Explanation:

The volume of a sphere is:

V = 4/3*\pi *r^3   So, when the volume is 972π mm^3 the radius r is:

r = 9mm

Now, the change rate is given by the derivative:

dV/dt = 4/3*\pi *3*r^2*dr/dt  

Where: dV/dt = -324π mm^2/s

            r = 9mm

Solving for dr/dt:

dr/dt = -4mm/s

Racing greyhounds are capable of rounding corners at very high speeds. A typical greyhound track has turns that are 45-m-diamete
Margarita [4]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Diameter of the semicircle, d = 45 m

Radius of the semicircle, r = 22.5 m      

Speed of greyhound, v = 15 m/s

The greyhound is moving under the action of centripetal acceleration. Its formula is given by :

a=\dfrac{v^2}{r}

a=\dfrac{(15)^2}{22.5}

a=10\ m/s^2

We know that, g=9.8\ m/s^2

a=\dfrac{10\times g}{9.8}

a=1.02\ g

Hence, this is the required solution.

The coefficient of friction between the 2-lb block and the surface is μ=0.2. The block has an initial speed of Vβ =6 ft/s and is
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

x = 0.0685 m

Explanation:

In this exercise we can use the relationship between work and energy conservation

            W = ΔEm

Where the work is

             W = F x

The energy can be found in two points

Initial. Just when the block with its spring spring touches the other spring

           Em₀ = K = ½ m v²

Final. When the system is at rest

            Em_{f} = K_{e1}b +K_{e2} = ½ k₁ x² + ½ k₂ x²

We can find strength with Newton's second law

            ∑ F = F - fr

Axis y

           N- W = 0

           N = W

The friction force has the equation

          fr = μ N

          fr = μ W

  The job

         W = (F – μ W) x

We substitute in the equation

            (F - μ W) x = ½ m v² - (½ k₁ x² + ½ k₂ x²)

           ½ x² (k₁ + k₂) + (F - μ W) x - ½ m v² = 0

We substitute values ​​and solve

           ½ x² (20 + 40) + (15 -0.2 2) x - ½ (2/32) 6² = 0

         x² 30 + 14.4 x - 1,125 = 0

        x² + 0.48 x - 0.0375 = 0

           

We solve the second degree equation

        x = [-0.48 ±√(0.48 2 + 4 0.0375)] / 2

        x = [-0.48 ± 0.617] / 2

        x₁ = 0.0685 m

        x₂ = -0.549 m

The first result results from compression of the spring and the second torque elongation.

The result of the problem is x = 0.0685 m

An automobile accelerates from zero to 30 m/s in 6.0 s. The wheels have a diameter of 0.40 m. What is the average angular accele
leva [86]

To solve this problem we will use the concepts related to angular motion equations. Therefore we will have that the angular acceleration will be equivalent to the change in the angular velocity per unit of time.

Later we will use the relationship between linear velocity, radius and angular velocity to find said angular velocity and use it in the mathematical expression of angular acceleration.

The average angular acceleration

\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_0}{t}

Here

\alpha = Angular acceleration

\omega_{f,i} = Initial and final angular velocity

There is not initial angular velocity,then

\alpha = \frac{\omega_f}{t}

We know that the relation between the tangential velocity with the angular velocity is given by,

v = r\omega

Here,

r = Radius

\omega = Angular velocity,

Rearranging to find the angular velocity

\omega = \frac{v}{r}}

\omega = \frac{30}{0.20} \rightarrow Remember that the radius is half te diameter.

Now replacing this expression at the first equation we have,

\alpha = \frac{30}{0.20*6}

\alpha = 25 rad /s^2

Therefore teh average angular acceleration of each wheel is 25rad/s^2
