A charge q1 of -5.00 x 10^-9 C and a charge q2 of -2.00x 10^-9 C are separated by a distance of 40.0 cm. Find the equilibrium position for a third charge of +15.0x 10^-9 C.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the equilibrium position of third charge be x distance from q₁.

Force on third charge due to q₁

= 9 x 10⁹ x 5 x 10⁻⁹ x 15 x 10⁺⁹ / x²

Force on third charge due to q₂

= 9 x 10⁹ x 2 x 10⁻⁹ x 15 x 10⁺⁹ /( .40-x)²

Both the force will act in opposite direction and for balancing , they should be equal.

9 x 10⁹ x 5 x 10⁻⁹ x 15 x 10⁺⁹ / x² = 9 x 10⁹ x 2 x 10⁻⁹ x 15 x 10⁺⁹ /( .40-x)²

5  / x² = 2 / ( .4 - x )²

Taking square root on both sides

2.236 / x = 1.414 / .4 - x

2.236 ( .4 - x ) = 1.414 x

.8944 - 2.236 x = 1.414 x

.8944 = 3.65 x

x = .245 m

24.5 cm

So the third charge should be at a distance of 24.5 cm from q₁ .

A disk-shaped space station 125 m in diameter spins at a constant angular velocity. If the acceleration of a point on the rim of the disk is to be equal to "g", how long does it take for the station to make one revolution?

Answers

Answer:

  t = 22.44 s

Explanation:

The acceleration of the station is centripetal which has the formula

         a = v² / r

linear and angular velocity are related

         v = w² r

as they indicate that the acceleration is equal to the acceleration of gravity

         g = w² r

         w = [tex]\sqrt{ \frac{g}{r} }[/tex]

         

let's calculate

         w = [tex]\sqrt{ \frac{9.8}{ 125} }[/tex]

         w = 0.28 rad / s

to calculate the time use us

          w = θ / t

in a complete revolution θ = 2pi

          t = θ / w

let's calculate

          t = 2π / 0, 28

          t = 22.44 s

Which model could represent a neutral atom of nitrogen? 2 3 4 A. 1 B. 3 C. 4 D. 2.​

Answers

Answer:

B

Explanation:

because it has more power

The Model A represents a neutral atom. hence option A is correct.

What is Atom ?

Atom is smallest entity of a body. Body is made up of atoms. it is basic building block of a body. An atom consist of electrons, protons and neutrons as sub atomic particle. whole mass of the atom is concentrated at the center of the atom which we call it as nucleus, nucleus consist of proton and neutron. Electron revolve around the nucleus at determined(fixed) orbit. Total number of protons in the atom decides the atomic number and the elements in the periodic table. The electrons which are completely filled orbitals are called as core shell electrons and which are not filled completely are called as valence electron. valence electrons are responsible for physical and chemical properties of the element. Elements which are on same column in periodic table have same number of valence electrons . Hence they have same properties.

Atomic number of Nitrogen is 7. Hence neutral atom of nitrogen has 7 electrons in his orbits.

Hence option A is correct.

half life, for my physics but pretty sure it involves maths. you don’t have to do them all i’m just confused how to work it out.

Answers

I probably don't have to tell you that the other answer is nonsense, but I'll do it all the same, just in case... Half-life is defined as the time it takes for some radioactive substance to decay to half its original amount.

If it takes n half-lives for some substance with a starting amount of A to decay to a final amount of B, then

[tex]B = \dfrac{A}{2^n}[/tex]

1. If the half-life is x, then after 1 half-life, 5000 units of this substance decays to 2500 units. After another half-life, this decays to 1250. After another, this in turn decays to 625.

So 3 half-lives are required.

In terms of the equation above, we solve for n such that

[tex]625 = \dfrac{5000}{2^n} \implies 2^n = 8 \implies n=3[/tex]

since 2³ = 8.

2. Count how many times you halve 15,000 to end up with 3750:

15,000/2 = 7500

7500/2 = 3750

===>   2 half-lives

In other words,

[tex]3750 = \dfrac{15,000}{2^n} \implies 2^n = 4 \implies n=2[/tex]

3. After 1 half-life, you would end up with

12,000/2 = 6000

and after another half-life,

6000/2 = 3000

i.e.

[tex]\dfrac{12,000}{2^2} = \dfrac{12,000}4 = 3000[/tex]

4. After 1 half-life, you have

26,000/2 = 13,000

After 2 half-lives,

13,000/2 = 6500

After 3 half-lives,

6500/2 = 3250

After 4 half-lives,

3250/2 = 1625

i.e.

[tex]\dfrac{26,000}{2^4} = \dfrac{26,000}{16} = 1625[/tex]

5. If the half-life is 3 years, then 15 years = 3 half-lives.

In the last 3 years, 20,000 would have decayed to 10,000.

In the second-to-last 3 years, 40,000 would have decayed to 20,000.

In the first 3 years, 80,000 would have decayed to 40,000.

i.e.

[tex]\dfrac{x}{2^3} = 10,000 \implies x = 8\times10,000 = 80,000[/tex]

A cyclist rides at 6.20 m/s through a intersection. A stationary car begins to
accelerate at 3.844 m/s2 when the bike is beside it. They reach the other side of
the intersection at the same time. Find the width of the intersection.

Answers

Answer:

The width of the intersection is 20 meters

Explanation:

The speed with which the cyclist is riding, v₁ = 6.20 m/s

The rate at which the car starts to accelerate, a = 3.844 m/s²

The initial velocity of the car = The car is stationary at the start = 0 m/s

The time at which the cyclist and the car reach the other side of the intersection = The same time;

Let 't' represent the time at which the cyclist and the car both reach the other side of the intersection, we have;

The distance travelled by the cyclist = The distance traveled by the car

∴ v₁ × t = 1/2 × a × t²

Plugging in the values for 'v₁', and 'a' in the above equation, we get;

6.20 × t = 1/2 × 3.844 × t²

∴ 1.922·t² - 6.20·t = 0

∴ t·(1.922·t - 6.20) = 0

t = 0, or t = 6.20/1.922 = 100/31

The time at which the cyclist and the car both reach the other side of the intersection, t = 100/31 seconds

The with of the intersection, w = v₁ × t

∴ w = 6.20 × 100/31 = 100/5 = 20

The width of the intersection, w = 20 meters.

A tungsten wire is 1.5m long and has a diameter of A current of flows through the wire. The resistivity of the wire is 5.6 * 10 ^ - 8 What is the potential difference across the ends of the wire?

Answers

Complete Question:

A tungsten wire is 1.5 m long and has a diameter of 1.0 mm. A current of 60 mA flows through the wire. The resistivity of the wire is 5.6 * 10^-8 Ωm. What is the potential difference across the ends of the wire?

Answer:

Potential difference, V = 0.00642 Volts.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Diameter = 1 mm to meters = 1/1000 = 0.001 m

Length = 1.5m

Current = 60mA = 60/1000 = 0.06 Amperes.

Resistivity = 5.6 * 10^-8 Ωm

To find the potential difference across the ends of the wire;

First of all, we would determine the cross-sectional area of the wire (circle);

[tex] Radius, r = \frac {diameter}{2} [/tex]

[tex] Radius = \frac {0.001}{2} [/tex]

Radius = 0.0005 m

Area of wire (circle) = πr²

Substituting into the above formula, we have;

Area  = 3.142 × (0.0005)²

Area = 3.142 × 2.5 × 10^-7

Area = 7.855 × 10^-7 m²

Next, we find the resistance of wire;

Mathematically, resistance is given by the formula;

[tex] Resistance = P \frac {L}{A} [/tex]

Where;

P is the resistivity of the material.

L is the length of the material.

A is the cross-sectional area of the material.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

[tex] Resistance = 5.6 * 10^{-8} \frac {1.5}{7.855 * 10^{-7}} [/tex]

[tex] Resistance = 5.6 * 10^{-8} * 1909611.712 [/tex]

Resistance = 0.107 Ohms.

Now, we can find the potential difference using the formula;

[tex] V = IR[/tex]

Where;

V represents voltage or potential difference measured in volts.

I represents current measured in amperes.

R represents resistance measured in ohms.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

[tex] V = 0.06*0.107[/tex]

Potential difference, V = 0.00642 Volts.

A 50kg gymnast is bouncing on a trampoline. If she is going down at 5m/s when she lands on the trampoline, and it bouncesher up in the opposite direction at a velocity of 4m/s, whatis her change in momentum?

Answers

Answer:

450 kgm/s upward

Explanation:

From the question,

Change in monentum = mass× change in velocity

ΔM = mΔv....................... Equation 1

ΔM = m(v-u).................. Equation 2

Where ΔM = Change in momentum, m = mass of the gymnast, v = final velocity, u = initial velocity

Given: m = 50 kg, v = -4 m/s. u = 5 m/s

Substitute these values into equation 2

ΔM = 50(-4-5)

ΔM = 50(-9)

ΔM = -450 kgm/s

Hence the change in momentum of the gymnast is 450 kgm/s upward

Answers

Answer:

θ = 17.67°

Explanation:

The grating equation can be used here to find the angle. The grating equation is given as follows:

[tex]m\lambda = dSin\ \theta[/tex]

where,

m = order = 2

d = 3.88 x 10⁻⁶ m

λ = wavelength of light = 589 nm = 5.89 x 10⁻⁷ m

θ = angle = ?

Therefore, using these values in the equation, we get:

[tex](2)(5.89\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m) = (3.88\ x\ 10^{-6}\ m)Sin\theta \\Sin\theta = \frac{(2)(5.89\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m)}{(3.88\ x\ 10^{-6}\ m)}\\\\\theta = Sin^{-1}(0.3036)[/tex]
