Answer:

The new force between the charges becomes double of the initial force.

Explanation:

The force acting between charge particles is given by :

$F=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{r^2}$

k is electrostatic constant

r is distance between charges

If one of the charges are doubled, then, q₁ = 2q₁

The new force becomes,

$F'=\dfrac{2kq_1q_2}{r^2}\\\\F'=2F$

So, the new force between the charges becomes double of the initial force.

What is the correct formula for power? A. Power = work / time B. Power = work * time C. Power = force * distance D. Power = work

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

A. Power = Work / Time

Explanation:

Power is the amount of work done over time, or rather the rate of work, which is given by the unit of watts (W). Since work is defined by Force * Displacement, we can also say Power = Force * Displacement / Time.

An electron is initially moving at 1.4 x 107 m/s. It moves 3.5 m in the direction of a uniform electric field of magnitude 120 N

algol13

Answer:

K.E = 15.57 x 10⁻¹⁷ J

Explanation:

First, we find the acceleration of the electron by using the formula of electric field:

E = F/q

F = Eq

but, from Newton's 2nd Law:

F = ma

Comparing both equations, we get:

ma = Eq

a = Eq/m

where,

E = electric field intensity = 120 N/C

q = charge of electron = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

m = Mass of electron = 9.1 x 10⁻³¹ kg

Therefore,

a = (120 N/C)(1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C)/(9.1 x 10⁻³¹ kg)

a = 2.11 x 10¹³ m/s²

Now, we need to find the final velocity of the electron. Using 3rd equation of motion:

2as = Vf² - Vi²

where,

Vf = Final Velocity = ?

Vi = Initial Velocity = 1.4 x 10⁷ m/s

s = distance = 3.5 m

Therefore,

(2)(2.11 x 10¹³ m/s²)(3.5 m) = Vf² - (1.4 x 10⁷)²

Vf = √(1.477 x 10¹⁴ m²/s² + 1.96 x 10¹⁴ m²/s²)

Vf = 1.85 x 10⁷ m/s

Now, we find the kinetic energy of electron at the end of the motion:

K.E = (0.5)(m)(Vf)²

K.E = (0.5)(9.1 x 10⁻³¹ kg)(1.85 x 10⁷ m/s)²

K.E = 15.57 x 10⁻¹⁷ J

A 50.6 g ball of copper has a net charge of 1.6 µc. what fraction of the copper's electrons have been removed? (each copper atom

Fynjy0 [20]

First figure out how many atoms you have with Avogadro's number. Since there are 63.5 grams/mol and you have 50.6 grams, you have (50.6/63.5)6.022E23=4.7986E23 atoms. Since there are 29 protons per atom, there are also 29 electrons per atom, so you should have a total of
29*4.7986E23=1.3916E25 electrons.
Since there is a positive charge you know some of these electrons are missing. How many are missing can be found by dividing the charge you have by the charge on the electron: 1.6E-6/1.6022E-19 = 9.98627E12 electrons are missing.
Now take the ratio of what is missing to what there should be:
9.98627E12/1.3916E25 = 7.1760873E-13

Alternating Current In Europe, the voltage of the alternating current coming through an electrical outlet can be modeled by the

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

$\frac{50}{\pi }$ Hz

Explanation:

In alternating current (AC) circuits, voltage (V) oscillates in a sine wave pattern and has a general equation as a function of time (t) as follows;

V(t) = V sin (ωt + Ф) -----------------(i)

Where;

V = amplitude value of the voltage

ω = angular frequency = 2 π f [f = cyclic frequency or simply, frequency]

Ф = phase difference between voltage and current.

Now,

From the question,

V(t) = 230 sin (100t) ---------------(ii)

By comparing equations (i) and (ii) the following holds;

V = 230

ω = 100

Ф = 0

But;

ω = 2 π f = 100

2 π f = 100 [divide both sides by 2]

π f = 50

f = $\frac{50}{\pi }$ Hz

Therefore, the frequency of the voltage is $\frac{50}{\pi }$ Hz
