You have two small spheres, each with a mass of 2.40 grams, separated by a distance of 10.0 cm. You remove the same number of electrons from each sphere. 1) What is the charge on each sphere if their gravitational attraction is exactly equal to their electrical repulsion?

2) How many electrons did you remove from each sphere?

q = 2.066* 10⁻¹³ C.

n = 1,291,250 electrons.

Explanation:

If the gravitational attraction is equal to their electrical repulsion, we can write the following equation:

$F_{g} = F_{c} (1)$

where Fg is the gravitational attraction, that can be written as follows according Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation:

$F_{g} = G*\frac{m_{1}*m_{2}}{r_{12}^{2}} (2)$

Fc, due to it is the electrical repulsion between both charged spheres, must obey Coulomb's Law (assuming we can treat both spheres as point charges), as follows:

$F_{c} = k*\frac{q_{1}*q_{2}}{r_{12}^{2}} (3)$

since m₁ = m₂ = 0.0024 kg, and r₁₂ = 0.1m, G and k universal constants, and q₁ = q₂ = Q, we can replace the values in (2) and (3), so we can rewrite (1) as follows:

$G*\frac{(0.0024kg)^{2}}{r_{12}^{2}} = k*\frac{Q^{2}}{r_{12}^{2}} (4)$

Since obviously the distance is the same on both sides, we can cancel them out, and solve (4) for Q² first, as follows:

$Q^{2} = \frac{6.67e-11*(0.0024kg)^{2}}{9e9Nm2/C2} = 4.27*e-26 C2 (5)$

Since both charges are the same, the charge on each sphere is just the square root of (5):Q = 2.066* 10⁻¹³ C.

Assuming that both spheres were electrically neutral before being charged, the negative charge removed must be equal to the positive charge on the spheres.Now, since each electron carries an elementary charge equal to -1.6*10⁻¹⁹ C, in order to get the number of electrons removed from each sphere, we need to divide the charge removed from each sphere (the outcome of part 1) with negative sign) by the elementary charge, as follows: $n_{e} =\frac{-2.066e-13C}{-1.6e-19C} = 1,291,250 electrons.

so here is the information for current research:

-nrel's geothermal analysts, scientists, and engineers perform a full range of research from developing advanced methods of locating and accessing geothermal resources to exploring innovative technologies to extract and produce clean energy from the heat of the earth

and here is the information for the technology of geothermal energy:

-it's clean and sustainable

-resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the earth's surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of molten rock called magma

-almost everywhere, the shallow ground or upper 10 feet of the earth's surface maintains a nearly constant temperature between 50° and 60°f (10° and 16°c)

-geothermal heat pumps can tap into this resource to heat and cool buildings

-a geothermal heat pump system consists of a heat pump, an air delivery system (ductwork), and a heat exchanger-a system of pipes buried in the shallow ground near the building

-in the winter, the heat pump removes heat from the heat exchanger and pumps it into the indoor air delivery system

-in the summer, the process is reversed, and the heat pump moves heat from the indoor air into the heat exchanger

-the heat removed from the indoor air during the summer can also be used to provide a free source of hot water

Answer: it will take 4.36 seconds to reach her average velocity 10.69 miles/hour.explanation: we have equation of motion $s=ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2$ ,where s is the displacement, a is the acceleration, u is the initial velocity and t is the time taken.average velocity = displacement/ time taken.average velocity = 10.69 miles/hr = 10.69*1.6*1000/(60*60) = 4.75 m/s4.75 = s/ts = 4. 1we also have acceleration = 2.18 m/s², initial velocity = 0 m/s $s=0*t+\frac{1}{2} *2.18*t^2$ $s=1.09t^2[/ 2equating equation 1 and 2 [tex]4.75t = 1.09t^2\\ \\ t=4.36 seconds.$ so it will take 4.36 seconds to reach her average velocity 10.69 miles/hour.
