Answer:

C.

Explanation:

If there are the same number of protons (+) as electrons (-) they will cancel out and make the atom neutral.

Compute the size of the charge necessary for two spheres separated by 1m to be attached with the force of 1N. How many electrons
yarga [219]

Answer:

q\approx 6.6\cdot 10^{13}~electrons

Explanation:

<u>Coulomb's Law</u>

The force between two charged particles of charges q1 and q2 separated by a distance d is given by the Coulomb's Law formula:

\displaystyle F=k\frac{q_1q_2}{d^2}

Where:

k=9\cdot 10^9\ N.m^2/c^2

q1, q2 = the objects' charge

d= The distance between the objects

We know both charges are identical, i.e. q1=q2=q. This reduces the formula to:

\displaystyle F=k\frac{q^2}{d^2}

Since we know the force F=1 N and the distance d=1 m, let's find the common charge of the spheres solving for q:

\displaystyle q=\sqrt{\frac{F}{k}}\cdot d

Substituting values:

\displaystyle q=\sqrt{\frac{1}{9\cdot 10^9}}\cdot 1

q = 1.05\cdot 10^{-5}~c

This charge corresponds to a number of electrons given by the elementary charge of the electron:

q_e=1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}~c

Thus, the charge of any of the spheres is:

\displaystyle q = \frac{1.05\cdot 10^{-5}~c}{1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}~c}

\mathbf{q\approx 6.6\cdot 10^{13}~electrons}

A motor-driven winch pulls a 50.0 kg student 5.00 m up the rope at a constant speed of 1.25 m/s. how much power does the motor u
nadya68 [22]
Power is the rate work done given by dividing work done by unit time. It is measured in watts equivalent to J/s.
In this case the force by the student is mg = 490 N (taking g as 9.8m/s²)
Work done is given by force × distance,
Therefore, Power =(force × distance)/ time, but velocity/speed =distance/time
Thus, Power = force × speed/velocity
                     = 490 N × 1.25
                     = 612.5 J/S (Watts)
Hence, power will be 612.5 Watts.

A small plastic ball with a mass of 7.00 10-3 kg and with a charge of +0.155 µC is suspended from an insulating thread and hangs
adell [148]

Answer:

the magnitude of the charge Q on each plate is 3.053 *10^{-8} \ C

Explanation:

Given that :

mass (m) = 7.00 *10 ^{-3} \ kg

charge (q) = +0.155 µC = +0.155 *10^{-6}\ C

angle \theta = 30^0 \ C

Area A on each plate = 0.0135 m²

From the diagram below;

tan \ \theta = \frac{Eq}{mg}    ----- equation (1)

Also by using Gauss Law ;

Q = \epsilon_0 \phi

Q = \epsilon_0EA     ----- equation (2)

Combination equation 1 and 2 together ; we have

Q = \frac{\epsilon_0\ * \ m\ *\ g \ \ * \ tan \theta \ * \ A}{q}

Q = \frac{(8.85*10^{-12}C^2/N.m^2 )\ * \ (7.00*10^{-3} kg)\ *\ (9.8 m/s^2) \ \ * \ tan \(30 \ * \ (0.0135 m^2)}{0.155*10^{-6}\ C}

Q = 3.053 *10^{-8} \ C

Why does the lens need to be thicker for viewing nearby objects?
Maurinko [17]

Answer: To focus on a near object – the lens becomes thicker, this allows the light rays to refract (bend) more strongly. To focus on a distant object – the lens is pulled thin, this allows the light rays to refract slightly.
