Explanation:

It is given that,

An electron is released from rest in a weak electric field of, E=2.3\times 10^{-10}\ N/C

Vertical distance covered, s=1\ \mu m=10^{-6}\ m

We need to find the speed of the electron. Let its speed is v. Using third equation of motion as :

v^2-u^2=2as

v^2=2as.............(1)

Electric force is F_e and force of gravity is F_g. As both forces are acting in downward direction. So, total force is:

F=mg+qE

F=9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 9.8+1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 2.3\times 10^{-10}

F=4.57\times 10^{-29}\ N

Acceleration of the electron, a=\dfrac{F}{m}

a=\dfrac{4.57\times 10^{-29}\ N}{9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg}

a=50.21\ m/s^2

Put the value of a in equation (1) as :

v=\sqrt{2as}

v=\sqrt{2\times 50.21\times 10^{-6}}

v = 0.010 m/s

So, the speed of the electron is 0.010 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

3MgCl2 has 9 atoms.

Explanation:

The Element Magnesium (Mg) has 3 atoms.

The Element Chloride (Cl) has 6 attoms.

Their fore 6 + 3 is 9 of course. 3MgCl2 has 9 atoms.

BTW: 3MgCl2 is a molecular compound as well as H2O and CO2.

why can light from the sun cause skin cancer but the light from a light bulb cannot cause skin cancer?
meriva

Answer:

Damage from UV exposure is cumulative and increases your skin cancer risk over time. While your body can repair some of the DNA damage in skin cells, it can't repair all of it. The unrepaired damage builds up over time and triggers mutations that cause skin cells to multiply rapidly. That can lead to malignant tumors.

A spy camera is said to be able to read the numbers on a car's license plate. If the numbers on the plate are 4.30 cm apart, and
Maslowich

Answer:

D = 2.38 m

Explanation:

This exercise is a diffraction problem where we must be able to separate the license plate numbers, so we must use a criterion to know when two light sources are separated, let's use the Rayleigh criterion, according to this criterion two light sources are separated if The maximum diffraction of a point coincides with the first minimum of the second point, so we can use the diffraction equation for a slit

         a sin θ  = m λ

Where the first minimum occurs for m = 1, as in these experiments the angle is very small, we can approximate the sine to the angle

           θ = λ / a

Also when we use a circular aperture instead of slits, we must use polar coordinates, which introduce a numerical constant

           θ = 1.22 λ / D

Where D is the circular tightness

       

Let's apply this equation to our case

         D = 1.22 λ /  θ

To calculate the angles let's use trigonometry

         tan  θ = y / x

          θ = tan⁻¹  y / x

          θ = tan⁻¹ (4.30 10⁻² / 140 10³)

          θ = tan⁻¹ (3.07 10⁻⁷)

          θ = 3.07 10⁻⁷ rad

Let's calculate

        D = 1.22 600 10⁻⁹ / 3.07 10⁻⁷

        D = 2.38 m

Newton's second law of motion can also be described as...
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer


B. F=ma



Explanation

The Newton's laws of motion tries to explain the how bodies behave and the energy changes when theys are in motion. For the 3 of them to hold, the bodies must be moving in a straight line and with constant velocity.

The second one states that, "the change of momentum of a moving body is directly proportional to the force producing it and it takes place to the direction of force."

From the choices given, the appropriate answer is B. F=ma
