Hello There!

Elements are substances that are only made up of 1 type of atom.

Some examples of elements could be Carbon {C}, Hydrogen {H} and Iron {Fe}.

Compounds on the other hand are made up of two or more atoms. They are chemical substances. An example of a compound could be Water because this is made up of 2 hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.

The answer is that "elements are a single atom and compounds are a mixture of two elements or more." Elements are atoms that have protons, neutrons, and electrons. Compounds are mixtures with two or more elements.

Hope this helps.

Coulomb’s law and static point charge ensembles (15 points). A test charge of 2C is located at point (3, 3, 5) in Cartesian coor

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

a) $F_{r}= -583.72MN i + 183.47MN j + 6.05GN k$

b) $E=3.04 \frac{GN}{C}$

Step-by-step explanation.

In order to solve this problem, we mus start by plotting the given points and charges. That will help us visualize the problem better and determine the direction of the forces (see attached picture).

Once we drew the points, we can start calculating the forces:

$r_{AP}^{2}=(3-0)^{2}+(3-0)^{2}+(5+0)^{2}$

which yields:

$r_{AP}^{2}= 43 m^{2}$

(I will assume the positions are in meters)

Next, we can make use of the force formula:

$F=k_{e}\frac{q_{1}q_{2}}{r^{2}}$

so we substitute the values:

$F_{AP}=(8.99x10^{9})\frac{(1C)(2C)}{43m^{2}}$

which yields:

$F_{AP}=418.14 MN$

Now we can find its components:

$F_{APx}=418.14 MN*\frac{3}{\sqrt{43}}i$

$F_{APx}=191.30 MNi$

$F_{APy}=418.14 MN*\frac{3}{\sqrt{43}}j$

$F_{APy}=191.30MN j$

$F_{APz}=418.14 MN*\frac{5}{\sqrt{43}}k$

$F_{APz}=318.83 MN k$

And we can now write them together for the first force, so we get:

$F_{AP}=(191.30i+191.30j+318.83k)MN$

We continue with the next force. The procedure is the same so we get:

$r_{BP}^{2}=(3-1)^{2}+(3-1)^{2}+(5+0)^{2}$

which yields:

$r_{BP}^{2}= 33 m^{2}$

Next, we can make use of the force formula:

$F_{BP}=(8.99x10^{9})\frac{(4C)(2C)}{33m^{2}}$

which yields:

$F_{BP}=2.18 GN$

Now we can find its components:

$F_{BPx}=2.18 GN*\frac{2}{\sqrt{33}}i$

$F_{BPx}=758.98 MNi$

$F_{BPy}=2.18 GN*\frac{2}{\sqrt{33}}j$

$F_{BPy}=758.98MN j$

$F_{BPz}=2.18 GN*\frac{5}{\sqrt{33}}k$

$F_{BPz}=1.897 GN k$

And we can now write them together for the second, so we get:

$F_{BP}=(758.98i + 758.98j + 1897k)MN$

We continue with the next force. The procedure is the same so we get:

$r_{CP}^{2}=(3-5)^{2}+(3-4)^{2}+(5-0)^{2}$

which yields:

$r_{CP}^{2}= 30 m^{2}$

Next, we can make use of the force formula:

$F_{CP}=(8.99x10^{9})\frac{(7C)(2C)}{30m^{2}}$

which yields:

$F_{CP}=4.20 GN$

Now we can find its components:

$F_{CPx}=4.20 GN*\frac{-2}{\sqrt{30}}i$

$F_{CPx}=-1.534 GNi$

$F_{CPy}=4.20 GN*\frac{2}{\sqrt{30}}j$

$F_{CPy}=-766.81 MN j$

$F_{CPz}=4.20 GN*\frac{5}{\sqrt{30}}k$

$F_{CPz}=3.83 GN k$

And we can now write them together for the third force, so we get:

$F_{CP}=(-1.534i - 0.76681j +3.83k)GN$

So in order to find the resultant force, we need to add the forces together:

$F_{r}=F_{AP}+F_{BP}+F_{CP}$

so we get:

$F_{r}=(191.30i+191.30j+318.83k)MN + (758.98i + 758.98j + 1897k)MN + (-1.534i - 0.76681j +3.83k)GN$

So when adding the problem together we get that:

$F_{r}=(-0.583.72i + 0.18347j +6.05k)GN$

which is the answer to part a), now let's take a look at part b).

Basically, we need to find the magnitude of the force and divide it into the test charge, so we get:

$F_{r}=\sqrt{(-0.583.72)^{2} + (0.18347)^{2} +(6.05)^{2}}$

which yields:

$F_{r}=6.08 GN$

and now we take the formula for the electric field which is:

$E=\frac{F_{r}}{q}$

so we go ahead and substitute:

$E=\frac{6.08GN}{2C}$

$E=3.04\frac{GN}{C}$

Answer:

Surface currents are controlled by three factors: global winds, the Coriolis effect, and continental deflections. surface create surface currents in the ocean. Different winds cause currents to flow in different directions. objects from a straight path due to the Earth's rotation.

Most radiation exposure comes from

Mrrafil [7]

Most radiation exposure comes from natural sources. These so-called "natural sources" include Radon, Internal, Terrestrial, and Cosmic. Among that, Radon proves to be the largest source of radiation. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that comes from the breakdown of uranium.

a mass of 1.00 kg of water at temperature T is poured from a height of 0.100 km into a vessel containing water of the same tempe

Mariana [72]

Answer:

1.34352 kg

Explanation:

$m_w$ = Mass of water falling = 1 kg

h = Height of fall = 0.1 km

$\Delta T$ = Change in temperature = 0.1

c = Specific heat of water = 4186 J/kg K

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

$m_v$ = Mass of water in the vessel

Here the potential energy will balance the internal energy

$m_wgh=m_wc\Delta T+m_vc\Delta T\\\Rightarrow m_v=\dfrac{m_wgh-m_wc\Delta T}{c\Delta T}\\\Rightarrow m_v=\dfrac{m_wgh}{c\Delta T}-m_w\\\Rightarrow m_v=\dfrac{1\times 9.81\times 100}{4186\times 0.1}-1\\\Rightarrow m_v=1.34352\ kg$

Mass of the water in the vessel is 1.34352 kg
