Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

i)Two spheres hanging from nylon threads attract each other because either the two spheres are charged with opposite sign or only one of the spheres is charge so the other would be charge by induction of the charged sphere and hence attract each other.

ii)However, when they are touched the charges will be rearranged among the two sphere such that the two sphere have exact same magnitude and sign of charge and now they will repel each other or the  magnitude of charges on the two spheres become zero and they neither attract or repel each other.

The planet Neptune orbits the Sun. Its orbital radius is 30.130.130, point, 1 astronomical units (\text{AU})(AU)left parenthesis
lord [1]

Answer:

The distance the planet Neptune travels in a single orbit around the Sun is <em>60.2π </em><em>AU.</em>

Explanation:

As it is given that the Neptune's orbit is circular, the formula that we have to use is the circumference of a circle in order to find the distance it travels in a single orbit around the Sun. In other words, you can say that the circumference of the circle is <em>equivalent</em> to the distance it travels around the Sun in a single orbit.

<em>The circumference of the circle = Distance Travelled (in a single orbit) = 2*π*R ---- (A)</em>

Where,

<em>R = Orbital radius (in this case) = 30.1 AU</em>

<em />

Plug the value of R in the equation (A):

<em>(A) => The circumference of the circle = 2*π*(30.1)</em>

<em> The circumference of the circle = </em><em>60.2π</em>

Therefore, the distance the planet Neptune travels in a single orbit around the Sun is <em>60.2π </em><em>AU.</em>

A beam of electrons is sent horizontally down the axis of a tube to strike a fluorescent screen at the end of the tube. On the w
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

The answer is 3.

Explanation:

The answer to this question can be found by applying the right hand rule for which the pointer finger is in the direction of the electron movement, the thumb is pointing in the direction of the magnetic field, so the effect that this will have on the electrons is the direction that the middle finger points in which is right in this example.

So as a result of the magnetic field directed vertically downwards which is at a right angle with the electron beams, the electrons will move to the right and the spot will be deflected to the right of the screen when looking from the electron source.

I hope this answer helps.

g A 4 cm diameter "bobber" with a mass of 3 grams floats on a pond. A thin, light fishing line is tied to the bottom of the bobb
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

total weight acting downwards

= 3g + 10g

13 g

volume of lead = 10 / 11.3 = .885 cm³

Let the volume of bobber submerged in water be v in floating position . buoyant force on bobber  = v x 1 x g

Buoyant force on lead =  .885 x 1 x g

total buoyant force = vg + .885 g

For floating

vg + .885 g  = 13 g

v = 12.115 cm³

total volume of bobber

= 4/3 x 3.14 x 2³

= 33.5 cm³

fraction of volume submerged

= 12.115  / 33.5

= .36  

= 36 %

A soup company wants to manufacture a can in the shape of a right circular cylinder that will hold 500 cm^3 of liquid. The mater
Rom4ik [11]
The area of the top and bottom:
2πr²
Cost for top and bottom:
2πr²  x 0.02
= 0.04πr²

Area for side:
2πrh
Cost for side:
2πrh x 0.01
= 0.02πrh

Total cost:
C = 0.04πr² + 0.02πrh

We know that the volume of the can is:
V = πr²h
h = 500/πr²

Substituting this into the cost equation to get a cost function of radius:
C(r) = 0.04πr² + 0.02πr(500/πr²)
C(r) = 0.04πr² + 10/r

Now, we differentiate with respect to r and equate to 0 to obtain the minimum value:

0 = 0.08πr - 10/r²
10/r² = 0.08πr
r³ = 125/π

r = 3.41 cm
