Why are elements considered the simplest substances on earth

1 answer:

3 0

Because atoms cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction cannot be broken down into simpler substances by these reactions.

An electron is trapped between two large parallel charged plates of a capacitive system. The plates are separated by a distance

Lorico [155]

Answer:

The electron will get at about 0.388 cm (about 4 mm) from the negative plate before stopping.

Explanation:

Recall that the Electric field is constant inside the parallel plates, and therefore the acceleration the electron feels is constant everywhere inside the parallel plates, so we can examine its motion using kinematics of a constantly accelerated particle. This constant acceleration is (based on Newton's 2nd Law:

$F=m\,a\\q\,E=m\,a\\a=\frac{q\,E}{m}$

and since the electric field E in between parallel plates separated a distance d and under a potential difference $\Delta V$ , is given by:

$E=\frac{\Delta\,V}{d}$

then :

$a=\frac{q\,\Delta V}{m\,d}$

We want to find when the particle reaches velocity zero via kinematics:

$v=v_0-a\,t\\0=v_0-a\,t\\t=v_0/a$

We replace this time (t) in the kinematic equation for the particle displacement:

$\Delta y=v_0\,(t)-\frac{1}{2} a\,t^2\\\Delta y=v_0\,(\frac{v_0}{a} )-\frac{a}{2} (\frac{v_0}{a} )^2\\\Delta y=\frac{1}{2} \frac{v_0^2}{a}$

Replacing the values with the information given, converting the distance d into meters (0.01 m), using $\Delta V=100\,V$ , and the electron's kinetic energy:

$\frac{1}{2} \,m\,v_0^2= (11.2)\,\, 1.6\,\,10^{-19}\,\,J$

we get:

$\Delta\,y= \frac{1}{2} v_0^2\,\frac{m (0.01)}{q\,(100)} =11.2 (1.6\,\,10^{-19})\,\frac{0.01}{(1.6\,\,10^{-19})\,(100)}=\frac{11.2}{10000} \,meters=0.00112\,\,meters$ Therefore, since the electron was initially at 0.5 cm (0.005 m) from the negative plate, the closest it gets to this plate is:

0.005 - 0.00112 m = 0.00388 m [or 0.388 cm]

Why are we seeing extremely old light from Canopus instead of light in real-time?

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Canopus is more than 300 light years away from earth. This means it takes the light we see more than 300 years to reach us.

Net force and direction answer

Contact [7]

Answer:

7. Net force: 14 N

Direction: Right

8. Net force: 360 N

Direction: Right

Explanation:

For Nm 7 the most force is on the right side so it has more power then left side and so its gonna pull towards the right side cancelling the force on the left. So it becomes 26-12 N = 14N

For Nm 8 all the force is on the right side so they add up.

A periodic wave with wavelength 2m has a speed of 4m/s. What is the waves frequency?.

Gekata [30.6K]

The wave frequency is 2 Hz.

What is wave frequency ?

The number of waves that pass through a fixed point in a given amount of time is referred to as the wave frequency. The hertz is the SI unit for wave frequency (Hz).

$f = v / w$
