Answer:

B) it is dependent on the value of the charge and its position

Explanation:

As we know that electrostatic potential energy is given by the formula

$U = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r}$

here we know that electric potential due to one charge on the position of other charge is given by the equation

$V = \frac{kq_1}{r}$

so potential energy can be given by the formula

$U = q_2 V$

so here potential of a given position will be different so it is dependent on the position of charge

also potential energy depends on the magnitude of charge

so correct answer will be

B) it is dependent on the value of the charge and its position

A mass spectrometer is being used to separate common oxygen-16 from the much rarer oxygen-18, taken from a sample of old glacial

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

0.092 m

Explanation:

A charged moving particle immersed in a region with magnetic field follows a circular trajectory at constant speed (uniform circular motion), since the magnetic forces acts perpendicular to the direction of motion of the particle.

Since the magnetic force acts as centripetal force, we can write:

$qvB=m\frac{v^2}{r}$

where

q is the charge of the particle

v is its velocity

B is the strength of the magnetic field

m is the mass of the particle

r is the radius of the orbit

Solving the equation for r,

$r=\frac{mv}{qB}$

For the ion of oxygen-16, we have:

$m_A=2.66\cdot 10^{-26}kg$

$q_A = 1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C$ (it is singly charged)

$v_A=2.90\cdot 10^6 m/s$

$B_A=1.30 T$

So the radius of its orbit is

$r_A=\frac{m_A v_A}{q_A B_A}=\frac{(2.66\cdot 10^{-26})(2.90\cdot 10^6)}{(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(1.30)}=0.371 m$

For the ion of oxygen-18, we have:

$m_B = \frac{18}{16}m_A = 2.99\cdot 10^{-26}kg$

$q_B = 1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C$ (it is singly charged)

$v_B=2.90\cdot 10^6 m/s$

$B_B=1.30 T$

So the radius of its orbit is

$r_B=\frac{m_B v_B}{q_B B_B}=\frac{(2.99\cdot 10^{-26})(2.90\cdot 10^6)}{(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(1.30)}=0.417 m$

After each ion has travelled a semicircle, the separation between the two ions will be twice the difference in their radius, so:

$d=2(r_B-r_A)=2(0.417-0.371)=0.092 m$

Sound and light are both found as _____, with a variety of ____. The sun, a source of light waves specifically, releases a type

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

Waves; wavelength; electromagnetic energy; ultraviolet light.

Explanation:

Sound are mechanical waves that are highly dependent on matter for their propagation and transmission.

Sound travels faster through solids than it does through either liquids or gases.

Light wave can be defined as an electromagnetic wave that do not require a medium of propagation for it to travel through a vacuum of space where no particles exist.

Hence, sound and light are both found as waves, with a variety of wavelength. The sun, a source of light waves specifically, releases a type of electromagnetic energy. It can be found as UVA or UVB types. These lights give off different levels of ultraviolet light, some of wich can be harmful.

Additionally, the ultraviolet spectrum is divided into three categories and these are; UVA, UVB and UVC.

Consider a balloon of mass 0.030kg being inflated with a gas of density 0.54kg/m. What will be the volume of the balloon when it

Nonamiya [84]

the weight of the balloon is .030 * 10 = 0.3 N

the weight of the gas of volume v is 0.54*10 N

The lifting force of a volume of v m³ of displaced air is 1.29v N

so, we need

1.29*10*v = 0.3 + 0.54*10*v

1.29v = 0.03+0.54v
