If an equation is dimensionally correct is thar equation a right equation<br>

Nady [450]

If an equation is dimensionally correct, it does not mean that the equation must be true. On the other hand, when the equation is dimensionally correct, the equation cannot be true. Dimensional analysis is a technique used to check whether a relationship is correct

A point charge of -4.28 pC is fixed on the y-axis, 2.79 mm from the origin. What is the electric field produced by this charge a

makkiz [27]

Answer:

E = (-3.61^i+1.02^j) N/C

magnitude E = 3.75N/C

Explanation:

In order to calculate the electric field at the point P, you use the following formula, which takes into account the components of the electric field vector:

$\vec{E}=-k\frac{q}{r^2}cos\theta\ \hat{i}+k\frac{q}{r^2}sin\theta\ \hat{j}\\\\\vec{E}=k\frac{q^2}{r}[-cos\theta\ \hat{i}+sin\theta\ \hat{j}]$ (1)

Where the minus sign means that the electric field point to the charge.

k: Coulomb's constant = 8.98*10^9Nm^2/C^2

q = -4.28 pC = -4.28*10^-12C

r: distance to the charge from the point P

The point P is at the point (0,9.83mm)

θ: angle between the electric field vector and the x-axis

The angle is calculated as follow:

$\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{2.79mm}{9.83mm})=74.15\°$

The distance r is:

$r=\sqrt{(2.79mm)^2+(9.83mm)^2}=10.21mm=10.21*10^{-3}m$

You replace the values of all parameters in the equation (1):

$\vec{E}=(8.98*10^9Nm^2/C^2)\frac{4.28*10^{-12}C}{(10.21*10^{-3}m)}[-cos(15.84\°)\hat{i}+sin(15.84\°)\hat{j}]\\\\\vec{E}=(-3.61\hat{i}+1.02\hat{j})\frac{N}{C}\\\\|\vec{E}|=\sqrt{(3.61)^2+(1.02)^2}\frac{N}{C}=3.75\frac{N}{C}$

The electric field is E = (-3.61^i+1.02^j) N/C with a a magnitude of 3.75N/C

Which is evidence that a convergent boundary once existed

Vladimir79 [104]

Volcanic islands, Mountain ranges

Explanation:

A convergent margin is plate boundary in which plates comes together. There are different types of interactions that occurs around a place where plate converges.

An ocean-continent convergence creates a subduction zone in which the denser oceanic plate sinks beneath the less dense continental crust.
As the oceanic plate begins to subside, it can melt and form chains of volcanic island within the riding continents.
Also, where two plates of equal densities converge, none of them subsides and this leads to upbuilding.
The product can be seen as extensive mountain ranges on earth like the Andes and Himalayas.

Of the following transitions in the Bohr hydrogen atom, the ________ transition results in the absorption of the highest-energy

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

The <em><u>n = 2 → n = 3</u></em> transition results in the absorption of the highest-energy photon.

Explanation:

$E_n=-13.6\times \frac{Z^2}{n^2}ev$

Formula used for the radius of the $n^{th}$ orbit will be,

where,

$E_n$ = energy of $n^{th}$ orbit

n = number of orbit

Z = atomic number

Here: Z = 1 (hydrogen atom)

Energy of the first orbit in H atom .

$E_1=-13.6\times \frac{Z^2}{1^2} eV=-13.6 eV$

Energy of the second orbit in H atom .

$E_2=-13.6\times \frac{Z^2}{(2)^2} eV=-3.40 eV$

Energy of the third orbit in H atom .

$E_3=-13.6\times \frac{Z^2}{(9)^2} eV=-1.51 eV$

Energy of the fifth orbit in H atom .

$E_5=-13.6\times \frac{Z^2}{(2)^2} eV=-0.544 eV$

Energy of the sixth orbit in H atom .

$E_6=-13.6\times \frac{Z^2}{(2)^2} eV=-0.378 eV$

Energy of the seventh orbit in H atom .

$E_7=-13.6\times \frac{Z^2}{(2)^2} eV=-278 eV$

During an absorption of energy electron jumps from lower state to higher state.So, absorption will take place in :

1) n = 2 → n = 3

2) n= 5 → n = 6

Energy absorbed when: n = 2 → n = 3

$E=E_3-E_2$

$E=(-1.51 eV) -(-3.40 eV)=1.89 eV$

Energy absorbed when: n = 5 → n = 6

$E'=E_6-E_5$

$E'=(-0.378 eV)-(-0.544 eV) =0.166 eV$

1.89 eV > 0.166 eV

E> E'

So,the n = 2 → n = 3 transition results in the absorption of the highest-energy photon.
