In final state, every metal sphere carries 1 unit of negative charge.
When the spheres brought into contact, the charges try to get an equilibrium distribution on both spheres.It means that same amount of positive charges neutralise the same amount of negative charges.Given that, metal sphere A has 4 units of negative charge and metal sphere B has 2 units of positive charge. So that, 2 units of negative charge will neutralize the 2 unit of positive charge of the second sphere. The others 2 units of negative charge of the first sphere will distribute equally on both spheres.Hence, In final state, every metal sphere carries 1 unit of negative charge.

A 30 L electrical radiator containing heating oil is placed in a 50 m3room. Both the roomand the oil in the radiator are initially at 10◦C. The radiator with a rating of 1.8 kW is nowturned on. At the same time, heat is lost from the room at an average rate of 0.35 kJ/s.After some time, the average temperature is measured to be 20◦C for the air in the room,and 50◦C for the oil in the radiator. Taking the density and the specific heat of the oil to be950 kg/m3and 2.2 kJ/kg◦C, respectively, determine how long the heater is kept on. Assumethe room is well sealed so that there are no air leaks.
Answer:
Explanation:
Heat absorbed by oil
= mass x specific heat x rise in temperature
= 30 x 10⁻³ x 950 x 2.2 x 10³ x ( 50-10 )
= 25.08 x 10⁵ J
Heat absorbed by air
= 50 x 1.2 x 1.0054 x 10³ x ( 20-10 )
= 6.03 x 10⁵ J
Total heat absorbed = 31.11 x 10⁵ J
If time required = t
heat lost from room
= .35 x 10³ t
Total heat generated in time t
= 1.8 x 10³ t
Heat generated = heat used
1.8 x 10³ t = .35 x 10³ t + 31.11 x 10⁵
1.45 x 10³ t = 31.11 x 10⁵
t = 31.11 x 10⁵ / 1.45 x 10³
t = 2145.5 s
An 88.0 kg spacewalking astronaut pushes off a 645 kg satellite, exerting a 110 N force for the 0.450 s it takes him to straighten his arms. How far apart are the astronaut and the satellite after 1.40 min?
Answer:
The astronaut and the satellite are 53.718 m apart.
Explanation:
Given;
mass of spacewalking astronaut, = 88 kg
mass of satellite, = 645 kg
force exerts by the satellite, F = 110N
time for this action, t = 0.45 s
Determine the acceleration of the satellite after the push
F = ma
a = F / m
a = 110 / 645
a = 0.171 m/s²
Determine the final velocity of the satellite;
v = u + at
where;
u is the initial velocity of the satellite = 0
v = 0 + 0.171 x 0.45
v = 0.077 m/s
Determine the displacement of the satellite after 1.4 m
d₁ = vt
d₁ = 0.077 x (1.4 x 60)
d₁ = 6.468 m
According to Newton's third law of motion, action and reaction are equal and opposite;
Determine the backward acceleration of the astronaut after the push;
F = ma
a = F / m
a = 110 / 88
a = 1.25 m/s²
Determine the final velocity of the astronaut
v = u + at
The initial velocity of the astronaut = 0
v = 1.25 x 0.45
v = 0.5625 m/s
Determine the displacement of the astronaut after 1.4 min
d₂ = vt
d₂ = 0.5625 x (1.4 x 60)
d₂ = 47.25 m
Finally, determine the total separation between the astronaut and the satellite;
total separation = d₁ + d₂
total separation = 6.468 m + 47.25 m
total separation = 53.718 m
Therefore, the astronaut and the satellite are 53.718 m apart.

The magnitude of the magnetic flux through the surface of a circular plate is 6.80 10-5 T · m2 when it is placed in a region of uniform magnetic field that is oriented at 43.0° to the vertical. The radius of the plate is 8.50 cm. Determine the strength of the magnetic field. mT A circular plate of radius r is lying flat. A field of arrows labeled vector B rising up and to the right pass through the plate.
Answer:
B = 4.1*10^-3 T = 4.1mT
Explanation:
In order to calculate the strength of the magnetic field, you use the following formula for the magnetic flux trough a surface:
[tex]\Phi_B=S\cdot B=SBcos\alpha[/tex] (1)
ФB: magnetic flux trough the circular surface = 6.80*10^-5 T.m^2
S: surface area of the circular plate = π.r^2
r: radius of the circular plate = 8.50cm = 0.085m
B: magnitude of the magnetic field = ?
α: angle between the direction of the magnetic field and the normal to the surface area of the circular plate = 43.0°
You solve the equation (1) for B, and replace the values of the other parameters:
[tex]B=\frac{\Phi_B}{Scos\alpha}=\frac{6.80*10^{-5}T.m^2}{(\pi (0.085m)^2)cos(43.0\°)}\\\\B=4.1*10^{-3}T=4.1mT[/tex]
The strength of the magntetic field is 4.1mT
A commercial diffraction grating has 500 lines per mm. Part A When a student shines a 480 nm laser through this grating, how many bright spots could be seen on a screen behind the grating
Answer:
The number of bright spot is m =4
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The number of lines is [tex]s = 500 \ lines / mm = 500 \ lines / 10^{-3} m[/tex]
The wavelength of the laser is [tex]\lambda = 480 nm = 480 *10^{-9} \ m[/tex]
Now the the slit is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]d = \frac{1}{s} = \frac{1}{500} * 10^{-3} \ m[/tex]
Generally the diffraction grating is mathematically represented as
[tex]dsin\theta = m \lambda[/tex]
Here m is the order of fringes (bright fringes) and at maximum m [tex]\theta = 90^o[/tex]
So
[tex]\frac{1}{500} * sin (90) = m * (480 *10^{-3})[/tex]
=> [tex]m = 4[/tex]
This implies that the number of bright spot is m =4

The region of uniform electric field is 5 mm wide in the east-west direction. How far (in meters) will the proton have been deflected towards the south by the time it exits the region of uniform electric field. You may neglect the effects of friction and gravity, and assume that the electric field is zero outside the specified region. Answer is to be in units of meters
Answer:
[tex]s = 0.039 \ m[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The mass of the proton is [tex]m = 1.67 *10^{-27} \ g[/tex]
The charge of on the proton is [tex]q = 1.60 *10^{-19} \ C[/tex]

Generally the acceleration of the proton due to the electric toward the south (at the point where the force on the proton is equal to the electric force due to the electric field) is mathematically represented as
[tex]a = \frac{q* E}{m}[/tex]
Substituting values
[tex]a = \frac{1.60*10^{-19 } * 3.26 *10^{3}}{ 1.67*10^{-27}}[/tex]
[tex]a = 3.12*10^{11} \ m/s^2[/tex]
Generally the time it will take the proton to cross the electric field is mathematically represented as
[tex]t = \frac{d}{v}[/tex]
Substituting values
[tex]t = \frac{5 *10^{-3}}{10000}[/tex]
[tex]t = 5 *10^{-7} \ s[/tex]
Generally the the distance covered by the proton toward the south is
[tex]s = ut + \frac{1}{2} * a*t^2[/tex]
Here u = 0 m/s this because before the proton entered the electric field region the it velocity towards the south is zero
So
[tex]s = \frac{1}{2} * a*t^2[/tex]
Substituting values
[tex]s = \frac{1}{2} * 3.12 *10^{11}*(5 *10^{-7})^2[/tex]

A simple pendulum of length 1.62 m has a mass of 117 g attached. It is drawn back 38.0 degrees and then released. What is the maximum speed of the mass
Answer:
The maximum speed of the mass is 4.437 m/s.
Explanation:
Given;
length of pendulum, L = 1.62 m
attached mass, m = 117 g
angle of inclination, θ = 38°
This mass was raised to a height of
h = 1.62 - cos38° = 1.0043 m
Apply the principle of conservation of mechanical energy
PE = KE
mgh = ¹/₂mv²

v = 4.437 m/s.
Therefore, the maximum speed of the mass is 4.437 m/s.
Pulling out of a dive, the pilot of an airplane guides his plane into a vertical circle with a radius of 600 m. At the bottom of the dive, the speed of the airplane is 150 m/s. What is the apparent weight of the 70.0-kg pilot at that point?
Answer:
The apparent weight of the pilot is 3311 N
Explanation:
Given;
radius of the vertical circle, r = 600 m
speed of the plane, v = 150 m/s
mass of the pilot, m = 70 kg
Weight of the pilot due to his circular motion;
[tex]W= F_v\\\\F_v = \frac{mv^2}{r} \\\\F_v = \frac{70*150^2}{600} \\\\F_v = 2625 \ N[/tex]
Real weight of the pilot;
[tex]W_R = mg\\\\W_R = 70 *9.8\\\\W_R = 686 \ N[/tex]
Apparent weight - Real weight of pilot = weight due to centripetal force
[tex]F_N - mg = \frac{mv^2}{r} \\\\F_N = \frac{mv^2}{r} + mg\\\\F_N = 2625 \ N + 686 \ N\\\\F_N = 3311\ N[/tex]
Therefore, the apparent weight of the pilot is 3311 N

3) What is the transmitted intensity of light if unpolarized light passes through a single polarizing filter and the initial intensity is 80 W/m²?
- What is the transmitted intensity of light if an additional polarizer is added perpendicular to the first polarizer in the setup described in Question 3 (the setup)? Show all work in your answer.
The image of this setup attached to this question as obtained from online is attached to this solution.
Solution
3) When unpolarized light passes through a single polarizer, the intensity of the light is cut in half.
Hence, if the initial intensity of unpolarized light is I₀ = 80 W/m²
The intensity of the light rays thay pass through the first single polarizer = I₁ = (I₀/2) = (80/2) = 40 W/m²
- According to Malus' law, the intensity of transmitted light through a polarizer is related to the intensity of the incident light and the angle at which the polarizer is placed with respect to the major axis of the polarizer before the current polarizer of concern.
I₂ = I₁ cos² θ
where
I₂ = intensity of light that passes through the second polarizer = ?
I₁ = Intensity of light from the first polarizer that is incident upon the second polarizer = 40 W/m²
θ = angle between the major axis of the first and second polarizer = 30°
I₂ = 40 (cos² 30°) = 40 (0.8660)² = 30 W/m²
In the same vein, the intensity of light that passes through the third/additional polarizer is related to the intensity of light that passes through the second polarizer and is incident upon this third/additional polarizer through
I₃ = I₂ cos² θ
I₃ = intensity of light that passes through the third/additional polarizer = ?
I₂ = Intensity of light from the second polarizer that is incident upon the third/additional polarizer = 30 W/m²
θ = angle between the major axis of the second and third/additional polarizer = 60° (although, it is 90° with respect to the first polarizer, it is the angle it makes with the major axis of the second polarizer, 60°, that matters)
I₃ = 30 (cos² 60°) = 30 (0.5)² = 7.5 W/m²

Monochromatic coherent light shines through a pair of slits. If the wavelength of the light is decreased, which of the following statements are true of the resulting interference pattern? (There could be more than one correct choice.)
a. The distance between the maxima decreases.
b. The distance between the minima decreases.
c. The distance between the maxima stays the same.
d. The distance between the minima increases.
e. The distance between the minima stays the same.
Answer:
he correct answers are a, b
Explanation:
In the two-slit interference phenomenon, the expression for interference is
d sin θ= m λ constructive interference
d sin θ = (m + ½) λ destructive interference
in general this phenomenon occurs for small angles, for which we can write
tanθ = y / L
tan te = sin tea / cos tea = sin tea
sin θ = y / La
un
derestimate the first two equations.
Let's do the calculation for constructive interference
d y / L = m λ
the distance between maximum clos is and
y = (me / d) λ
this is the position of each maximum, the distance between two consecutive maximums
y₂-y₁ = (L 2/d) λ - (L 1 / d) λ₁ y₂ -y₁ = L / d λ
examining this equation if the wavelength decreases the value of y also decreases
the same calculation for destructive interference
d y / L = (m + ½) κ
y = [(m + ½) L / d] λ
again when it decreases the decrease the distance
the correct answers are a, b
Two identical small charged spheres are a certain distance apart, and each one initially experiences an electrostatic force of magnitude F due to the other. With time, charge gradually leaks off of both spheres. When each of the spheres has lost half its initial charge, the magnitude of the electrostatic force will be
Answer:
F' = F/4
Thus, the magnitude of electrostatic force will become one-fourth.
Explanation:
The magnitude of force applied by each charge on one another can be given by Coulomb's Law:
F = kq₁q₂/r² -------------- equation 1
where,
F = Force applied by charges
k = Coulomb's Constant
q₁ = magnitude of first charge
q₂ = magnitude of 2nd charge
r = distance between the charges
Now, in the final state the charges on both spheres are halved. Therefore,
q₁' = q₁/2
q₂' = q₂/2
Hence, the new force will be:
F' = kq₁'q₂'/r²
F' = k(q₁/2)(q₂/2)/r²
F' = (kq₁q₂/r²)(1/4)
using equation 1:
F' = F/4
Thus, the magnitude of electrostatic force will become one-fourth.
The magnitude of the electrostatic force will be F' = F/4
The magnitude of the electrostatic force:Here we used Coulomb's Law:
F = kq₁q₂/r² -------------- equation 1
Here
F = Force applied by charges
k = Coulomb's Constant
q₁ = magnitude of first charge
q₂ = magnitude of 2nd charge
r = distance between the charges
Now
q₁' = q₁/2
q₂' = q₂/2
So, the new force should be
F' = kq₁'q₂'/r²
F' = k(q₁/2)(q₂/2)/r²
F' = (kq₁q₂/r²)(1/4)
So,
F' = F/4

b. What is the maximum speed you could have and still not hit the deer?
Answer:
(a) Distance between deer and car = 5 m
(b) Vmax = 21.92 m/s
Explanation:
a.
First we calculate distance covered during response time:
s₁ = vt --------- equation 1
where,
s₁ = distance covered during response time = ?
v = speed of car = 20 m/s
t = response time = 0.5 s
Therefore,
s₁ = (20 m/s)(0.5 s)
s₁ = 10 m
Now, we calculate the distance covered by the car during deceleration. Using 3rd equation of motion:
2as₂ = Vf² - Vi²
s₂ = (Vf² - Vi²)/2a ------ eqation 2
where,
a = deceleration = - 10 m/s²
s₂ = Distance covered during deceleration = ?
Vf = Final Velocity = 0 m/s (since car finally stops)
Vi = Initial Velocity = 20 m/s
Therefore,
s₂ = [(0 m/s)² - (20 m/s)²]/2(-10 m/s²)
s₂ = (400 m²/s²)/(20 m/s²)
s₂ = 20 m
thus, the total distance covered by the car before coming to rest is given as:
s = s₁ + s₂
s = 10 m + 20 m
s = 30 m
Now, the distance between deer and car, when it comes to rest, can be calculated as:
Distance between deer and car = 35 m - s = 35 m - 30 m
Distance between deer and car = 5 m
b.
Since, the distance covered by the car in total must be equal to 35 m at maximum. Therefore,
s₁ + s₂ = 35 m
using equation 1 and equation 2 from previous part:
Vi t + (Vf² - Vi²)/2a = 35 m
Vi(0.5 s) + [(0 m/s)² - Vi²]/2(-10 m/s²) = 35 m
0.5 Vi + 0.05 Vi² = 35
0.05 Vi² + 0.5 Vi - 35 = 0
solving this quadratic equation, we get:
Vi = - 31.92 m/s (OR) Vi = 21.92 m/s
For maximum velocity:
Vmax = 21.92 m/s

Five identical cylinders are each acted on by forces of equal magnitude. Which force exerts the biggest torque about the central axes of the cylinders
Answer:
From the image, the force as shown in option A will exert the biggest torque on the cylinder about its central axes.
Explanation:
The image is shown below.
Torque is the product of a force about the center of rotation of a body, and the radius through which the force acts. For a given case such as this, in which the cylinders are identical, and the forces are of equal magnitude, the torque at the maximum radius away from the center will exert the maximum torque. Also, the direction of the force also matters. To generate the maximum torque, the force must be directed tangentially away from the circle formed by the radius through which the force acts away from the center. Option A satisfies both condition and hence will exert the most torque on the cylinder.
An asteroid that has an orbital period of 3 years will have an orbital with a semi-major axis of about _____ years.
Answer:
An asteroid that has an orbital period of 3 years will have an orbital with a semi-major axis of about 2 years.
Explanation:
Given;
orbital period of 3 years, P = 3 years
To calculate the years of an orbital with a semi-major axis, we apply Kepler's third law.
Kepler's third law;
P² = a³
where;
P is the orbital period
a is the orbital semi-major axis
(3)² = a³
9 = a³
a = [tex]a = \sqrt[3]{9} \\\\a = 2.08 \ years[/tex]
Therefore, An asteroid that has an orbital period of 3 years will have an orbital with a semi-major axis of about 2 years.
In the child's game of tetherball, a rope attached to the top of a tall pole is tied to a ball. Players hit the ball in opposite directions in an attempt to wrap the ball and rope around the pole. Assume the rope has negligible mass and that resistive forces, such as air resistance and friction, can be neglected. As the ball wraps around the pole between hits, how does the angular speed of the ball change
Answer:
The angular speed of the ball will increase
Explanation:
the angular speed of the ball will increase because the force of hit by the players will sum up in opposite direction to increase the angular speed
A wave with a frequency of 1200 Hz propagates along a wire that is under a tension of 800 N. Its wavelength is 39.1 cm. What will be the wavelength if the tension is decreased to 600 N and the frequency is kept constant
Answer:
The wavelength will be 33.9 cm
Explanation:
Given;
frequency of the wave, F = 1200 Hz
Tension on the wire, T = 800 N
wavelength, λ = 39.1 cm
[tex]F = \frac{ \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} }}{\lambda}[/tex]
Where;
F is the frequency of the wave
T is tension on the string
μ is mass per unit length of the string
λ is wavelength
[tex]\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} } = F \lambda\\\\\frac{T}{\mu} = F^2\lambda^2\\\\\mu = \frac{T}{F^2\lambda^2} \\\\\frac{T_1}{F^2\lambda _1^2} = \frac{T_2}{F^2\lambda _2^2} \\\\\frac{T_1}{\lambda _1^2} = \frac{T_2}{\lambda _2^2}\\\\T_1 \lambda _2^2 = T_2\lambda _1^2\\\\[/tex]
when the tension is decreased to 600 N, that is T₂ = 600 N
[tex]T_1 \lambda _2^2 = T_2\lambda _1^2\\\\\lambda _2^2 = \frac{T_2\lambda _1^2}{T_1} \\\\\lambda _2 = \sqrt{\frac{T_2\lambda _1^2}{T_1}} \\\\\lambda _2 = \sqrt{\frac{600* 0.391^2}{800}}\\\\\lambda _2 = \sqrt{0.11466} \\\\\lambda _2 =0.339 \ m\\\\\lambda _2 =33.9 \ cm[/tex]
Therefore, the wavelength will be 33.9 cm
