Describe how, using a positively-charged rod and two neutral metal spheres, we canmake one sphere positive without touching it to the rod. You might want to draw adiagram to help you.
Answer:
se the principle of induction.
place the two metallic spheres together, now we bring the positively charged bar closer to the first sphere.
The charge that was induced in the sphere is distributed as infirm as possible,
At this time I separate the spheres and move the bar away, by separating the spheres the excess positive
Explanation:
For this exercise we will use that the electric charge is not created, it is not destroyed and charges of the same sign repel.
Let's use the principle of induction. We place the two metallic spheres together, one in front of the other, now we bring the positively charged bar closer to the first sphere.
Here the positive charge of the bar repels the positive charge of the sphere, but as this is mocil it moves as far away as possible, until the negative charge that remains neutralizes the positive charge of the bar.
The charge that was induced in the sphere is distributed as infirm as possible, most of it in the furthest sphere, since the Coulomb force decreases.
At this time I separate the spheres and move the bar away, by separating the spheres the excess positive charge in the last sphere cannot be neutralized, therefore this sphere remains with a positive charge.
W is the work done on the system, and K, U, and Eth are the kinetic, potential, and thermal energies of the system, respectively. Any energy not mentioned in the transformation is assumed to remain constant; if work is not mentioned, it is assumed to be zero.
1. Give a specific example of a system with the energy transformation shown.
W→ΔEth
2. Give a specific example of a system with the energy transformation shown.
a. Rolling a ball up a hill.
b. Moving a block of wood across a horizontal rough surface at constant speed.
c. A block sliding on level ground, to which a cord you are holding on to is attached .
d. Dropping a ball from a height.
Answer:
1) a block going down a slope
2) a) W = ΔU + ΔK + ΔE, b) W = ΔE, c) W = ΔK, d) ΔU = ΔK
Explanation:
In this exercise you are asked to give an example of various types of systems
1) a system where work is transformed into internal energy is a system with friction, for example a block going down a slope in this case work is done during the descent, which is transformed in part kinetic energy, in part power energy and partly internal energy that is represented by an increase in the temperature of the block.
2)
a) rolling a ball uphill
In this case we have an increase in potential energy, if there is a change in speed, the kinetic energy also increases, if the change in speed is zero, there is no change in kinetic energy and there is a change in internal energy due to the stationary rec in the point of contact
W = ΔU + ΔK + ΔE
b) in this system work is transformed into internal energy
W = ΔE
c) There is no friction here, therefore the work is transformed into kinetic energy
W = ΔK
d) if you assume that there is no friction with the air, the potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy
ΔU = ΔK
A mechanic wants to unscrew some bolts. She has two wrenches available: one is 35 cm long, and one is 50 cm long. Which wrench makes her job easier and why?
Answer:
50 cm long
When 35cm long wrench is compared to 50cm long wrench, we find that the 50cm long wrench produces more turning effect of force because it has longer distance between fulcrum and line of action of force. At conclusion, the more the turning effect of force the more it is easy to unscrew bolts.

Ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in a medium Rule for how light is refracted at the boundary between two materials Process that occurs when the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle
Answer:
TOTAL INTERNAL REFLECTION
Explanation:
Retraction is defined as the change in the direction of light rays as it moves from less dense medium to a denser medium.
For us to have a critical angle, the ray must be passing from the denser medium to the less dense medium. As the angle of refraction in the less dense medium is increasing, the angle of incidence in the less dense medium also increases. A point will reach when the refracted ray will be parallel to the interface i.e angle of refraction is 90°, the angle of incidence at this point is known as the critical angle. If the angle of refraction keeps increasing further, it will get to a point when the refracted ray becomes reflected into the denser medium. At this stage we say that the ray is internally reflected and this is the point when the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle.
Hence it can be concluded that the process that occurs when the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle is called TOTAL INTERNAL REFLECTION
A spring with spring constant 15 N/m hangs from the ceiling. A ball is attached to the spring and allowed to come to rest. It is then pulled down 6.0 cm and released. If the ball makes 30 oscillations in 20 s, what are its (a) mass and (b) maximum speed?
Answer:
a
[tex]m = 0.169 \ kg[/tex]
b
[tex]|v_{max} |= 0.5653 \ m/s[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The spring constant is [tex]k = 14 \ N/m[/tex]
The maximum extension of the spring is [tex]A = 6.0 \ cm = 0.06 \ m[/tex]
The number of oscillation is [tex]n = 30[/tex]
The time taken is [tex]t = 20 \ s[/tex]
Generally the the angular speed of this oscillations is mathematically represented as
[tex]w = \frac{2 \pi}{T}[/tex]
where T is the period which is mathematically represented as
[tex]T = \frac{t}{n}[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]T = \frac{20}{30 }[/tex]
[tex]T = 0.667 \ s[/tex]
Thus
[tex]w = \frac{2 * 3.142 }{ 0.667}[/tex]
[tex]w = 9.421 \ rad/s[/tex]
this angular speed can also be represented mathematically as
[tex]w = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }[/tex]
=> [tex]m =\frac{k }{w^2}[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]m =\frac{ 15 }{(9.421)^2}[/tex]
[tex]m = 0.169 \ kg[/tex]
In SHM (simple harmonic motion )the equation for velocity is mathematically represented as
[tex]v = - Awsin (wt)[/tex]
The velocity is maximum when [tex]wt = \(90^o) \ or \ 1.5708\ rad[/tex]
[tex]v_{max} = - A* w[/tex]
=> [tex]|v_{max} |= A* w[/tex]
=> [tex]|v_{max} |= 0.06 * 9.421[/tex]
=> [tex]|v_{max} |= 0.5653 \ m/s[/tex]
A 1.25-kg ball begins rolling from rest with constant angular acceleration down a hill. If it takes 3.60 s for it to make the first complete revolution, how long will it take to make the next complete revolution?
Answer:
The time taken is [tex]\Delta t = 1.5 \ s[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The mass of the ball is [tex]m = 1.25 \ kg[/tex]
The time taken to make the first complete revolution is t= 3.60 s
The displacement of the first complete revolution is [tex]\theta = 1 rev = 2 \pi \ radian[/tex]
Generally the displacement for one complete revolution is mathematically represented as
[tex]\theta = w_i t + \frac{1}{2} * \alpha * t^2[/tex]
Now given that the stone started from rest [tex]w_i = 0 \ rad / s[/tex]
[tex]2 \pi =0 + 0.5* \alpha *(3.60)^2[/tex]
[tex]\alpha = 0.9698 \ s[/tex]
Now the displacement for two complete revolution is
[tex]\theta_2 = 2 * 2\pi[/tex]
[tex]\theta_2 = 4\pi[/tex]
Generally the displacement for two complete revolution is mathematically represented as
[tex]4 \pi = 0 + 0.5 * 0.9698 * t^2[/tex]
=> [tex]t^2 = 25.9187[/tex]
=> [tex]t= 5.1 \ s[/tex]
So
The time taken to complete the next oscillation is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]\Delta t = t_2 - t[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]\Delta t = 5.1 - 3.60[/tex]
[tex]\Delta t = 1.5 \ s[/tex]
The time for the ball to complete the next revolution is 1.5 s.
The given parameters;
mass of the ball, m = 1.25 kgtime of motion, t = 3.6 sone complete revolution, θ = 2πThe constant angular acceleration of the ball is calculated as follows;
[tex]\theta = \omega t \ + \ \frac{1}{2} \alpha t^2\\\\2\pi = 0 \ + \ 0.5(3.6)^2 \alpha\\\\2\pi = 6.48 \alpha \\\\\alpha = \frac{2 \pi }{6.48} \\\\\alpha = 0.97 \ rad/s^2[/tex]
The time to complete the next revolution is calculated as follows;
[tex]4\pi = 0 + \frac{1}{2} (0.97)t^2\\\\8\pi = 0.97t^2\\\\t^2 = \frac{8\pi }{0.97} \\\\t^2 = 25.91\\\\t = \sqrt{ 25.91} \\\\t = 5.1 \ s[/tex]
[tex]\Delta t = 5.1 \ s \ - \ 3.6 \ s \\\\\Delta t = 1.5 \ s[/tex]
Thus, the time for the ball to complete the next revolution is 1.5 s.

A rectangular coil lies flat on a horizontal surface. A bar magnet is held above the center of the coil with its north pole pointing down. What is the direction of the induced current in the coil?
Answer:
There is no induced current on the coil.
Explanation:
Current is induced in a coil or a circuit, when there is a break of flux linkage. A break in flux linkage is caused by a changing magnetic field, and must be achieved by a relative motion between the coil and the magnet. Holding the magnet above the center of the coil will cause no changing magnetic filed since there is no relative motion between the coil and the magnet.
Tech A says parallel circuits are like links in a chain. Tech B says total current in a parallel circuit equals the sum of the current flowing in each branch of the circuit. Who is correct?
Answer: Only Tech B is correct.
Explanation:
First, tech A is wrong.
The circuits that can be compared with links in a chain are the series circuit, and it can be related to the links in a chain because if one of the elements breaks, the current can not flow furthermore (because the elements in the circuit are connected in series) while in a parallel circuit if one of the branches breaks, the current still can flow by other branches.
Also in a parallel circuit, the sum of the currents of each path is equal to the current that comes from the source, so Tech B is correct, the total current is equal to the sum of the currents flowing in each branch of the circuit.
if a 1-m diameter sewer pipe is flowing at a depth of 0.4 m and has a flow rate of 0.15 m^3/s, what will be the flow rate when the pipe flows full?
Answer:
0.35 m³/s
Explanation:
When the pipe's depth is 0.4 m, the area of the circular segment is:
A = ½ R² (θ − sin θ)
The depth of the water is:
h = R (1 − cos(θ/2))
Solving for θ:
0.4 = 0.5 (1 − cos(θ/2))
0.8 = 1 − cos(θ/2)
cos(θ/2) = 0.2
θ/2 = acos(0.2)
θ = 2 acos(0.2)
θ ≈ 2.74 rad
The area is therefore:
A = ½ (0.5 m)² (2.74 − sin 2.74)
A = 0.338 m²
The cross-sectional area when the pipe is full is:
A = π (0.5 m)²
A = 0.785 m²
The flow velocity is constant:
v = v
Q / A = Q / A
(0.15 m³/s) / (0.338 m²) = Q / (0.785 m²)
Q = 0.35 m³/s

UV radiaGon having a wavelength of 120 nm falls on gold metal, to which electrons are bound by 4.82 eV. What is the maximum kineGc energy of the ejected photoelectrons
Answer:
K.E = 5.53 eV = 8.85 x 10⁻¹⁹ J
Explanation:
First we calculate the energy of photon:
E = hc/λ
where,
E = Energy of Photon = ?
h = Plank's Constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s
c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
λ = wavelength = 120 nm = 1.2 x 10⁻⁷ m
Therefore,
E = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(1.2 x 10⁻⁷ m)
E = (16.565 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)(1 eV/1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)
E = 10.35 eV
Now, from Einstein's Photoelectric equation we know that:
Energy of Photon = Work Function + K.E of Electron
10.35 eV = 4.82 eV + K.E
K.E = 10.35 eV - 4.82 eV
K.E = 5.53 eV = 8.85 x 10⁻¹⁹ J
The maximum kinetic energy of the ejected photoelectrons will be "8.85 × 10⁻¹⁹ J".
Kinetic energyAccording to the question,
Speed of light, c = 3 × 10⁸ m/s
Wavelength, λ = 120 nm or,
= 1.2 × 10⁻⁷ m
Plank's Constant, h = 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ J.s
Now,
The energy of photon will be:
→ E = [tex]\frac{hc}{\lambda}[/tex]
By substituting the values,
= [tex]\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 20^8}{1.2\times 10^{-7}}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{16.565\times 10^{-19}}{\frac{1 \ eV}{1.6\times 10^{-19}} }[/tex]
= 10.35 eV
By using Einstein's Photoelectric equation,
Energy of Photon = Work function + K.E
10.35 = 4.82 + K.E
K.E = 10.35 - 4.82
= 5.53 eV or,
= 8.85 × 10⁻¹⁹ J
Thus the response above is correct.

T = 80 N sin 60° / sin 30°
T = 80√3 N
T ≈ 139 N
Sum of forces on B in the y direction:
∑F = ma
80 N cos 60° + T cos 30° − W = 0

Explanation:
The R and R resistors are in parallel. The 2R and 2R resistors are in parallel. The 4R and 4R resistors are in parallel. Each parallel combination is in series with each other. Therefore, the equivalent resistance is:
Req = 1/(1/R + 1/R) + 1/(1/2R + 1/2R) + 1/(1/4R + 1/4R)
Req = R/2 + 2R/2 + 4R/2
Req = 3.5R

An electron moving at 3.94 103 m/s in a 1.23 T magnetic field experiences a magnetic force of 1.40 10-16 N. What angle does the velocity of the electron make with the magnetic field? There are two answers between 0° and 180°. (Enter your answers from smallest to largest.)
Answer:
10.4⁰ and 169.6⁰Explanation:
The force experienced by the moving electron in the magnetic field is expressed as F = qvBsinθ where;
q is the charge on the electron
v is the velocity of the electron
B is the magnetic field strength
θ is the angle that the velocity of the electron make with the magnetic field.
Given parameters
F = 1.40*10⁻¹⁶ N
q = 1.6*10⁻¹⁹C
v = 3.94*10³m/s
B = 1.23T
Required
Angle that the velocity of the electron make with the magnetic field
Substituting the given parameters into the formula:
1.40*10⁻¹⁶ = 1.6*10⁻¹⁹ * 3.94*10³ * 1.23 * sinθ
1.40*10⁻¹⁶ = 7.75392 * 10⁻¹⁹⁺³sinθ
1.40*10⁻¹⁶ = 7.75392 * 10⁻¹⁶sinθ
sinθ = 1.40*10⁻¹⁶/7.75392 * 10⁻¹⁶
sinθ = 1.40/7.75392
sinθ = 0.1806
θ = sin⁻¹0.1806
θ₁ = 10.4⁰
Since sinθ is positive in the 1st and 2nd quadrant, θ₂ = 180-θ₁
θ₂ = 180-10.4
θ₂ = 169.6⁰
Hence, the angle that the velocity of the electron make with the magnetic field are 10.4⁰ and 169.6⁰

In this problem, the friction force does not decrease, therefore it will be zero.
Consequently for work on a closed path it is zero.
The work in going from the initial point (0, 0, 0) to the end of each segment is positive and when it returns from the point of origin the angle is 180º, therefore the work is negative, consequently the net work is zero

Answer:
A) 0.4 mA
B) 0.03 mA
Explanation:
Given that
voltage source, V = 120 V
to solve this question, we would be using the very basic Ohms Law, that voltage is proportional to the current and the resistance passing through the circuit, if temperature is constant.
mathematically, Ohms Law, V = IR
V = Voltage
I = Current
R = Resistance
from question a, we were given 300kΩ, substituting this value of resistance in the equation, we have
120 = I * 300*10^3 Ω
making I the subject of the formula,
I = 120 / 300000
I = 0.0004 A
I = 0.4 mA
Question said, currents above 10 mA causes involuntary muscle contraction, this current is way below 10 mA, so nothing happens.
B, we have Resistance, R = 4000kΩ
Substituting like in part A, we have
120 = I * 4000*10^3 Ω
I = 120 / 4000000
I = 0.00003 A
I = 0.03 mA
This also means nothing happens, because 0.03 mA is very much lesser compared to in the 10 mA
The current through a person will be:
a) 0.4 mA
b) 0.03 mA
Given:
Voltage, V = 120 V
Ohm's Law:It states that the voltage or potential difference between two points is directly proportional to the current or electricity passing through the resistance, and directly proportional to the resistance of the circuit.
Ohms Law, V = I*R
where,
V = Voltage
I = Current
R = Resistance
a)
Given: Resistance= 300kΩ
[tex]120 = I * 300*10^3 ohm\\\\I = 120 / 300000\\\\I = 0.0004 A[/tex]
Thus, current will be, I = 0.4 mA
b)
Given: R = 4000kΩ
[tex]120 = I * 4000*10^3 ohm\\\\I = 120 / 4000000\\\\I = 0.00003 A[/tex]
Thus, current will be, I = 0.03 mA
From calculations, we observe that nothing happens, because 0.03 mA is very much lesser compared to in the 10 mA.
