You and a friend are doing the laundry when you unload the dryer and the discussion comes around to static electricity. Your friend wants to get some idea of the amount of charge that causes static cling. You immediately take two empty soda cans, which each have a mass of 120 grams, from the recycling bin. You tie the cans to the two ends of a string (one to each end) and hang the center of the string over a nail sticking out of the wall. Each can now hangs straight down 30 cm from the nail. You take your flannel shirt from the dryer and touch it to the cans, which are touching each other. The cans move apart until they hang stationary at an angle of 10 degrees from the vertical.
Assuming that there are equal amounts of charge on each can, you now calculate the amount of charge transferred from your shirt.
Answers
Answer:
Q_total = 2 10⁻⁶ C
Explanation:
Let's apply the conditions of static equilibrium to this case, in the adjoint we can see a diagram of the forces.
X axis
Tₓ - Fe = 0
Tₓ = Fe
Y axis
[tex]T_{y}[/tex] - W = 0
T_{y} = W
Let's use trigonometry to find the stress components, the angle is measured with respect to the vertical
sin 10 = Tₓ / T
cos 10 = T_{y} / T
Tₓ = T sin 10
T_{y} = T cos 10
we substitute
T sin 10 = Fe
T cos 10 = W
T = mg / cos10
T = 0.120 9.8 / cos 10
T = 1,194 N
Fe = 1,194 sin 10
Fe = 0.2073 N
the electric force is
F = k q₁q₂ / r²
in this case, as the cans touch, they have the same charge and the distance r is searched for by trigonometry
sin 10 = y / L
y = L sin 10
y = 0.30 sin 10
y = 0.052 m
this is the distance from the vertical to one can the distance between the two cans is
y_total = 2y
y_totlal = 2 0.052 = 0.104 m
Fe = F = k q² / r²
q = √ (F r² / k)
q = √ (0.2073 0.104²/9 10⁹) = √ (24.913 10⁻¹⁴)
q = 4.99 10⁻⁷ C
This is the charge of a can, as the transfer is carried out by contact, the flannel transfers half of its charge to the cans and these when separating face one keeps half of the transferred charge, therefore the total charge of the flannel is
Q_total = 4 q
Q_total = 19.97 10⁻⁷ C
Q_total = 2 10⁻⁶ C

A flea jumps straight up to a maximum height of 0.500 m . What is its initial velocity v0 as it leaves the ground? Express your answer in meters per second to three significant figures.
Answers
Answer:
v0 = 3.13m/sExplanation:
Using the equation of motion to get the initial velocity as it leaves the ground. According to the equation of motion;
v² = v0²+2as where;
v is the final velocity
v0 is the initial velocity
a is the acceleration due to gravity
s is the height.
At the maximum height, the final velocity v = 0m/s
Given s = 0.500m and a = g = -9.81m/s² (acceleration due to gravity is negative due t the upward movement of the flea)
0² = v0² - 2(9.81)(0.500)
0 = v0² - 9.81
- v0² = -9.81
v0 = √9.81
v0 = 3.13m/s
Hence the initial velocity v0 of the flea as it leaves the ground is 3.13m/s (to three significant figures)
A machine, modeled as a simple spring-mass system, oscillates in simple harmonic motion. Its acceleration is measured to have an amplitude of 10,000 mm/s2 with a frequency of 8 Hz. Compute the maximum displacement the machine undergoes during this oscillation.
Answers
Answer:
3.96*10^-3 m
Explanation:
Given that
Amplitude, A = 10000 mm/s² = 10 m/s²
Frequency, f = 8 hz
the maximum acceleration of a simple harmonic motion is given as
|a|(max) = Aw², where
A = amplitude of the simple harmonic motion
w = angular frequency of the simple harmonic motion
Remember, w = 2πf, so
w = 2 * 3.142 * 8
w = 50.272 rad/s
Rearranging the formula, and making a the subject, we have
A = |a|(max) / w², so that
A = 10 / 50.272²
A = 10 / 2527.27
A = 0.00396 m
A = 3.96*10^-3 m

Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
s(t) = -16t2 + 8√t
A )
Average velocity
s(t) / t = (-16t2 + 8√t)/t
A(t)= -16t + 8 / √t
average velocity of the ball for t near 4.
A(t) = -16t + 8 / √t
Lt t⇒4
B )
Distance covered in 4 s
-16t2 + 8√t
= - 16 x 16 + 8 x 2
= - 240
Distance covered in 5 s
= - 16 x 25 + 8 √5
= -400 + 17.88
= -382.12
distance covered in duration from 4 to 5 sec
= -142.12
velocity = - 142.12 / 1 = - 142.12 m /s
Distance covered in 4.5 s
= -16 x 4.5² + 8√4.5
= -324 + 16.97
= -307
distance covered during 4 to 4.5
= 67
velocity during 4 to 4.5
= -67 / .5
- 134 m /s
distance covered in 4.05 s
-16 x 4.05² + 8√4.05
-262.44 + 16.1
-246.34
distance covered during 4 to 4.05

- 126.8 m /s
C )
Instantaneous velocity at t = 4
= - 120 m /s
(A) As 't' approaches to 4s, the formula of average velocity is
[tex]v_{avg} _{|(t\rightarrow4)}=Lim_{|(t\rightarrow4)}[-16t+ \frac{8}{\sqrt{t}} ][/tex]
(B) The average velocity for the time interval starting at t = 4 with a duration of 1 second is [tex]142.11\,m/s[/tex].
The average velocity for the time interval starting at t = 4 with a duration of 0.5 seconds is [tex]-134.058\,m/s[/tex]
The average velocity for the time interval starting at t = 4 with a duration of 0.05 seconds is [tex]-126.8\,m/s[/tex].
(C) The instantaneous velocity of the ball at 4s is [tex]-126\,m/s[/tex].
The answers are explained as follows.
Given that the distance is a function of time.
[tex]s(t)=-16\,t^2\,+\,8\sqrt{t}[/tex]
(A) The average velocity can be given by,
[tex]v_{avg}=\frac{-16\,t^2\,+\,8\sqrt{t} }{t} =-16t+ \frac{8}{\sqrt{t}}[/tex]
As 't' approaches to 4s, the formula becomes;
[tex]v_{avg} _{|(t\rightarrow4)}=Lim_{|(t\rightarrow4)}[-16t+ \frac{8}{\sqrt{t}} ][/tex]
(B) We know that the average velocity or in this case speed is the total distance by the total time taken.
Distance covered in 4 s can be found by putting [tex]t=4s[/tex] in the distance formula.
[tex]s(4)=(-16\times16)+(8\times2)=-240\,m[/tex]Distance covered in 5 s can also be found by the same method
[tex]s(5)=(-16\times25)+(8\times\sqrt{5} )=-382.11\,m[/tex]Therefore, the distance covered in from 4 to 5 seconds is;
[tex]s(5) -s(4)=-382.11\,m-(-240\,m)=-142.11\,m[/tex]So, the average velocity here = [tex]\frac{-142.11\,m}{5\,s-4\,s}=-142.11\,m/s[/tex]Distance covered in 4.5 s is given by,
[tex]s(4.5)=(-16\times4.5^2)+(8\times\sqrt{4.5} )=-307.029\,m[/tex]Therefore, the distance covered in 4 to 4.5 seconds is;
[tex]s(4.5)-s(4)=-307.029\,m-(-240\,m)=67.029\,m[/tex]So, the average velocity here = [tex]\frac{-67.029\,m}{4.5\,s-4\,s}=-134.058\,m/s[/tex]Distance covered in 4.05 s is given by,
[tex]s(4.05)=(-16\times4.05^2)+(8\times\sqrt{4.05} )=-246.34\,m[/tex]Therefore, the distance covered in 4 to 4.05 seconds is;
[tex]s(4.05)-s(4)=-246.34\,m-(-240\,m)=-6.34\,m[/tex]So, the average velocity here = [tex]\frac{-6.34\,m}{4.05\,s-4\,s}=-126.8\,m/s[/tex](C) The instantaneous velocity of the ball can be found by differentiating the function [tex]s(t)[/tex].

Answers
a quarterback throws a football in a high, arching spiral to a receiver running down the field. where is the football traveling the fastest? where is it traveling the slowest?
Answers
Answer:
Travelling fastest: when the football leaves the hands of the quarterback and when the receiver gets it
Travelling slowest: at the very top of then arched trajectory
Explanation:
Notice that this example can be analyzed with a two dimensional pattern as in the launching of a cannonball, where we study separately the velocities and acceleration acting vertically and horizontally.
The football is thrown at an agle with the horizontal with an initial velocity that is decomposed in the vertical and in the horizontal axes.
The Horizontal movement of the football is that of an object with constant velocity (that of the horizontal component of the initial velocity imparted by the quarterback) .
The vertical movement of the football is that of an object moving in an accelerated fashion, with constant acceleration due to the gravitational field, and with an initial velocity opposite to that constant acceleration. The initial velocity is that of the vertical component of the initial velocity imparted by the quarterback.
AT every point on the path of the ball, its velocity can be calculated by the vector addition of the horizontal component (with constant velocity as we discussed above) and the vertical component (this velocity is changing since its is under accelerated motion) of the object's velocity at any given time through the path.
The maximum velocity of the football will be at the point where the two components are at their maximum (that is when the football leaves the hand of the thrower, and when it gets to the hands of the receiver.
While the minimum is going to be when the vertical component of the velocity is at is minimum (zero) at the top of the arched trajectory when the football changes vertical direction and starts heading downwards.
When rubbing two insulators together, the one that gets a positive charge has had:______.a) protons added. b) protons removed. c) electrons added. d) electrons removed.
Answers
Answer:
d) electrons removed.
Explanation:
Two insulators are electrically neutral, that is, the number of electrons and protons are equal. When one insulator is rubbed against another, electrons are removed from one of the insulators due their high mobility. The insulator which lost the electrons becomes positively charged while the one that gained the electron becomes negatively charged.
Therefore, when rubbing two insulators together, the one that gets a positive charge has had electrons removed.

Assume the density of the sea water is 1.024x103 kg/m3 and the pressure at sea surface is 1.01x105 Pa. What is the total pressure at an ocean depth of 700 m.
Answers
Explanation:
imagine a column of water of 1 m² that starts at the surface of the ocean, which goes straight down 700m.
You need to calculate the pressure induced by only the column of water.
Please understand that the total pressure is found by adding the pressure of the column of water AND that of the pressure of the atmosphere.
p = F/A
p = pressure in Pa
F = Force in N
A = area in m²
To calculate the Force that gravity has on that column of water, you simply use:
F = m * g
where g = 9.81 kgm/s²
So first you need to calculate the mass of the column sea water with a density of 1.024*10³ kg/m³
