Two balloons (m = 0.012 kg) are separated by a distance of d = 15 m. They are released from rest and observed to have an instant

aneous acceleration of a = 1.9 m/s2 toward each other at the moment they are released. Assume the two balloons are point charges and have equal but opposite charges.

Answer:

1.492*10^14 electrons

Explanation:

Since we know the mass of each balloon and the acceleration, let’s use the following equation to determine the total force of attraction for each balloon.

F = m * a = 0.012 * 1.9 = 0.0228 N

Gravitational forces are negligible

Charge force = 9 * 10^9 * q * q ÷ 225

= 9 * 10^9 * q^2 ÷ 225 = 0.0228

q^2 = 5.13 ÷ 9 * 10^9

q = 2.387 *10^-5

This is approximately 2.387 *10^-5 coulomb of charge. The charge of one electron is 1.6 * 10^-19 C

To determine the number of electrons, divide the charge by this number.

N =2.387 *10^-5  ÷ 1.6 * 10^-19 = 1.492*10^14 electrons

What is the direction of the force for a negative charge moving downward in a magnetic field pointing to the left?
velikii [3]

Answer: A

Out of the screen

Explanation:

Using right hand rule, the magnetic force is perpendicular to the plane form by the magnetic field of a charged particle and its speed. Which will be into the screen.

But the negative charged particle moves in the opposite direction of the positive charged particle. Therefore, the magnetic force direction will be out of the screen

A machine can never be 100% efficient because some work is always lost due to what?
katrin [286]

A machine can never be 100% efficient because some work is always lost due to the lack of materials or equipment that would convert work by 100%. It follows the second law of entropy. The ideal engine is known as Carnot’s engine having a 100% efficiency. So far, no engine has ever gotten to 100%.

An electron moving in the direction of the +x-axis enters a magnetic field. If the electron experiences a magnetic deflection in
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

<em>-z axis</em>

Explanation:

According to the left hand rule for an electron in a magnetic field, hold the thumb of the left hand at a right angle to the rest of the fingers, and the rest of the fingers parallel to one another. If the thumb represents the motion of the electron, and the other fingers represent the direction of the field, then the palm will push in the direction of the force on the electron. In this case, the left hand will be held out with the thumb pointing to the right (+x axis), and the palm facing your body (-y axis). The magnetic field indicated by the other fingers will point down in the the -z axis.

Each year, an average person in the United States is exposed to a radiation level of _____.
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is 0,2 rems

Explanation:

People are exposed to natural sources of radiation all the time. According to recent estimates, the average person in the United States receives an effective dose of approximately 3 mSv per year of natural radiation, which is equivalent to 0.3 rems. This amount includes cosmic radiation from outer space and is average because it varies depending on the region people are in.

The amount of radiation for a chest x-ray of an adult (0.01 rems) is approximately equal to 10 days of natural radiation to which we are all exposed every day.

Have a nice day!
