If `10^(9)` electrons move out of a body to another body evergy second, how much time is required to get a total charge of 1 C on the other body?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In one second `10^(9)` electrons move out of the body. The charge given out in one second is `1.6 xx 10^(-19) xx 10^(9)C = 1.6 xx 10^(-10)C`. The time required to accumulate a charge of 1C can then be estimated to be
`t= 1C div (1.6 xx 10^(-10)C//s) = 6.25 xx 10^(9) s= 6.25 xx 10^(9) div (365 xx 24 xx 3600)` years = 198 years. One coulomb is a very large unit for many practical purposes.

The contact force exerted by a body A on another body B is equal to the normal force between the, bodies. We conclude that a) the surfaces must be frictionless b) the force of friction between the bodies is zero c) the magnitude of normal force equals that of friction d) the bodies may be rough but they don't slip on each other.

A force of 20 N acts on a body of mass 5kg at rest. What is the acceleration of the body? What is its velocity after 5 seconds if the same force acts? After 5 seconds if the force ceases to act how will the body move?

A body of mass 5 kg makes an elastic collision with another body at rest and continues to move in the original direction after collision with velocity equal to (1)/(10) th of its original velocity . Then the mass of the second body is
