2. An electron and a proton are separated by 5 cm:
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

a) the charge of an electron is equivalent to the magnitude of the elementary charge but barring a negative sign since the side of the elementary charge is roughly 1.602 * 10 - 19 Columbus then the charge of the electronic is-1.602 * 10 - 19

b) b=2T on the electron moving in the magnetic field

Two people are sitting on playground swings. One is pulled back 4 degrees from the vertical and the other is pulled back 8 degre
lara [203]

Answer:

They will come back at the same time.

Explanation:

The angular velocity equation of ω= \frac{V}{r} where ω is the frequency of the movement, dependent on the angle. But since swings are simple pendulums and their angles of 8 and 4 degrees are small, they will come back to their starting points at the same time.

I hope this answer helps.

A square is 1.0 m on a side. Point charges of +4.0 μC are placed in two diagonally opposite corners. In the other two corners ar
finlep [7]

Answer:

<em>B) 1.0 × 10^5 V</em>

Explanation:

<u>Electric Potential Due To Point Charges </u>

The electric potential produced from a point charge Q at a distance r from the charge is

\displaystyle V=k\frac{Q}{r}

The total electric potential for a system of point charges is equal to the sum of their individual potentials. This is a scalar sum, so direction is not relevant.

We must compute the total electric potential in the center of the square. We need to know the distance from all the corners to the center. The diagonal of the square is

d=\sqrt2 a

where a is the length of the side.

The distance from any corner to the center is half the diagonal, thus

\displaystyle r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{a}{\sqrt{2}}

\displaystyle r=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=0.707\ m

The total potential is  

V_t=V_1+V_2+V_3+V_4

Where V1 and V2 are produced by the +4\mu C charges and V3 and V4 are produced by the two opposite charges of \pm 3\mu\ C. Since all the distances are equal, and the charges producing V3 and V4 are opposite, V3 and V4 cancel each other. We only need to compute V1 or V2, since they are equal, but they won't cancel.

\displaystyle V_1=V_2=k\frac{Q}{r}=9\times 10^9 \frac{4\times 10^{-6}}{0.707}

V_1=V_2=50912\ V

The total potential is

V_t=50912\ V+50912\ V=1\times 10^5\ V

\boxed{V_t=1\times 10^5\ V}

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

The ball's initial kinetic energy

The ball comes to a stop at B. At this point its initial kinetic energy is converted into potential energy

Explanation:

A ball is fixed to the end of a string, which is attached to the ceiling at point P. As the drawing shows, the ball is projected downward at A with the launch speed v0. Traveling on a circular path, the ball comes to a halt at point B. What enables the ball to reach point B, which is above point A? Ignore friction and air resistance.

From conservation of energy which states that energy can neither be created nor be destroyed, but can be transformed from one form to another.

Ki+Ui=Kf+Uf

Ki=initial kinetic energy

Ui=initial potential energy

Kf=final kinetic energy

Uf=final potential energy

we know that \frac{1}{2} mu^{2} +mgha=\frac{1}{2} mv^{2} +mghb

m=mass of the ball

ha=downward height a

hb=upward height b

u=initial velocity u

v=final velocity v, which is 0

g=acceleration due to gravity

v=0 at final velocity

1/2mu^2+mgha=0+1/2mv^2

ha=hb+Ki/mh

From the above equation, we can conclude that the ball's initial kinetic energy  is responsible for making the ball reach point B.

Point B is higher than point A from the motion gained by the ball
