two 200 pound lead balls are separated by a distance 1m. both balls have the same positive charge q. what charge will produce an electrostatic force.between the balls that is of the same order of magnitude as the weight of one ball?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The  charge is  [tex]q = 3.14 *10^{-4} \ C[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The mass of each ball is  [tex]m = 200 \ lb = \frac{200}{2.205} = 90.70 \ kg[/tex]

       The distance of separation is  [tex]d = 1 \ m[/tex]

Generally the weight of the each ball is mathematically represented as  

      [tex]W = m * g[/tex]

where g is the acceleration due to gravity with a value [tex]g = 9.8 m/s^2[/tex]

substituting values

      [tex]W = 90.70 * 9.8[/tex]

      [tex]W = 889 \ N[/tex]

Generally  the electrostatic force between this balls is mathematically represented as

         [tex]F_e = \frac{k * q_1* q_2 }{d^2}[/tex]

given that the the charges are equal we have

    [tex]q_1= q_2 = q[/tex]

So

         [tex]F_e = \frac{k * q^2 }{d^2}[/tex]

Now from the question we are told to find the charge when the weight of one  ball is equal to the electrostatic force

So  we have

       [tex]889 = \frac{9*10^9 * q^2}{1^2}[/tex]

   =>   [tex]q = 3.14 *10^{-4} \ C[/tex]

       

Answer 2

The magnitude of charge on the balls is [tex]3.14 \times 10^{-4} \;\rm C[/tex].

Given data:

The masses of two lead balls are, m = 200 lb = 200/2.205 = 90.70 kg.

The distance of separation of two balls is, d = 1 m.

First of all we need to obtain the weight of ball. The weight of the ball is expressed as,

W = mg

Here,

g is the gravitational acceleration.

Solving as,

W = 90.70 × 9.8

W = 888.86 N

The expression for the electrostatic force between this balls is mathematically represented as,

[tex]F = \dfrac{k \times q_{1} \times q_{2}}{d^{2}}[/tex]

Since, the charges are equal then,

[tex]q_{1} =q_{2}=q[/tex]

Also, the magnitude of force between the balls is same as the weight of one ball. Then,

F = W

Solving as,

[tex]F =W= \dfrac{(9 \times 10^{9}) \times q^{2}}{1^{2}}\\\\889= \dfrac{(9 \times 10^{9}) \times q^{2}}{1^{2}}\\\\q = 3.14 \times 10^{-4} \;\rm C[/tex]

Thus, we can conclude that the magnitude of charge on the balls is [tex]3.14 \times 10^{-4} \;\rm C[/tex].

A patch of mud has stuck to the surface of a bicycle tire as shown. The stickiness of
the mud is the centripetal or tension force that keeps the mud on the tire as it spins.
Has work been done on the mud as the tire makes one revolution, if the mud stays
on the tire? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

Yes, work has been done on the mud.

Explanation:

Work is done on a body, when a force is applied on the body to move it through a certain distance. In the case of the mud, the tire exerts a centripetal force on the mud. The centripetal force moves the mud along a path that follows the circle formed by the tire in one revolution of the tire. The total distance traveled is the circumference of the circle formed. The work done on the mud is therefore the product of the centripetal force on the mud from the tire, and the circumference of the circle formed by the tire, usually expressed in radian.

Bromine, a liquid at room temperature, has a boiling point
