Answer:

(a) <em>2.88×10¹¹ N/C.</em>

<em>(b) 1.442×10¹⁰ N/C</em>

<em>(c) 46.14×10⁻⁹ N</em>

Explanation:

<em>(a) Electric field due to alpha particle at the location of the electron</em>

<em>E = Kq/r²....................... Equation 1</em>

<em>Where E = Electric field, q = charge of the alpha particle, K = proportionality constant, r = distance between the electron and the alpha particle.</em>

<em>Given: q = 3.2×10⁻¹⁹ C, r = 10⁻¹⁰ m.</em>

<em>Constant: K = 9×10⁹ Nm²/C²</em>

<em>Substituting into equation 1</em>

<em>E = 9×10⁹(3.2×10⁻¹⁹)/(10⁻¹⁰)²</em>

<em>E = 28.8×10⁻¹⁰/10⁻²⁰</em>

<em>E = 2.88×10¹¹ N/C.</em>

<em>(b) </em><em>Electric Field due to the electron at the location of the alpha particle</em>

<em>E₁ = Kq₁/r²............................... Equation 2</em>

<em>Where,</em>

<em>E₁ = Electric Field due to the electron at the location of the alpha particle.</em>

<em>q₁ = charge of an electron.</em>

<em>Given: r = 10⁻¹⁰ m</em>

<em>Constant: K = 9×10⁹ Nm²/C², q₁ = 1.602×10⁻¹⁹ C</em>

<em>Substituting into equation 2</em>

<em>E₁ = 9×10⁹×1.602×10⁻¹⁹/(10⁻¹⁰ )²</em>

<em>E₁ = 14.42×10⁻¹⁰/10⁻²⁰</em>

<em>E₁ = 14.42×10¹⁰ </em>

<em>E₁ = 1.442×10¹⁰ N/C.</em>

<em>(c) The electric force on the alpha particle and on the electron.</em>

<em>F = Kqq₁/r² ................................ Equation 3</em>

<em>Given: q = 3.2×10⁻¹⁹ C, r = 10⁻¹⁰ m, </em>

<em>Constant:  K = 9×10⁹ Nm²/C², q₁ = 1.602×10⁻¹⁹ C</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation 3</em>

<em>F =9×10⁹( 3.2×10⁻¹⁹ )(1.602×10⁻¹⁹)/(10⁻¹⁰)²</em>

<em>F = 46.14×10⁻²⁹/10⁻²⁰</em>

<em>F = 46.14×10⁻⁹ N</em>

<em>Thus the electric force = 46.14×10⁻⁹ N</em>

A coin is placed on a large disk which rotates uniformly at a rate of 1 rot/s. The coefficient of friction between the coin and
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

r = 0.02 m

Explanation:

from the question we have :

speed = 1 rps = 1x 60 = 60 rpm

coefficient of friction (μ) = 0.1

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

maximum distance without falling off (r) = ?

to get how far from the center of the disk the coin can be placed without having to slip off we equate the formula for the centrifugal force with the frictional force on the turntable force

mv^2 / r =  m x g x μ

v^2 / r =  g x μ  .......equation 1

where

velocity (v) = angular speed (rads/seconds) x radius

angular speed (rads/seconds) = (\frac{2π}{60} ) x rpm

angular speed (rads/seconds) = (\frac{2 x π}{60} ) x 60 = 6.28 rads/ seconds

now

velocity = 6.28 x r = 6.28 r

now substituting the value of velocity into equation 1

v^2 / r =  g x μ

(6.28r)^2 / r = 9.8 x 0.1

39.5 x r = 0.98

r = 0.02 m

A piece of warm concrete is placed in a cold-water tank, and energy flows between the concrete and the water. Which way does the
sammy [17]

Answer:

Heat flows from hot to cold objects. When a hot and a cold body are in thermal contact, they exchange heat energy until they reach thermal equilibrium, with the hot body cooling down and the cold body warming up. This is a natural phenomenon we experience all the time.
