Suppose you wanted to hold up an electron against the force of gravity by the attraction of a fixed proton some distance above i

t. How far above the electron would the proton have to be? (k = 1/4πε0 = 9.0 × 109 N ∙ m2/C2, e = 1.6 × 10-19 C, mproton = 1.67 × 10-27 kg, melectron = 9.11 × 10-31 kg)

Answer:

The value is  r =  5.077 \  m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  Coulomb constant is  k =  9.0 *10^{9} \  N\cdot  m^2  /C^2

   The  charge on the electron/proton  is  e =  1.6*10^{-19} \  C

    The  mass of proton m_{proton} =  1.67*10^{-27} \  kg

    The  mass of  electron is  m_{electron } =  9.11 *10^{-31} \ kg

Generally for the electron to be held up by the force gravity

   Then    

       Electric force on the electron  =  The  gravitational Force

i.e  

            m_{electron} *  g  = \frac{ k *  e^2  }{r^2 }

         \frac{9*10^9 *  (1.60 *10^{-19})^2  }{r^2 }  =     9.11 *10^{-31 }  *  9.81

         r =  \sqrt{25.78}

         r =  5.077  \  m

A submersible pump is put under the water at the bottom of a well and is used to push water up through a pipe. What minimum outp
Maslowich

Answer:

695800 N/m^2 or Pa

Explanation:

Height of the water from the ground H  =  71 m

Acceleration due to gravity g =9.8 m/s^2

density of water ρ= 1000 kg/m^3

The minimum output gauge pressure to make water reach height H

P= ρgH

= 1000×9.8×71= 695800 N/m^2 or Pa

A simple harmonic oscillator completes 1550 cycles in 30 min. (a) Calculate the period. s (b) Calculate the frequency of the mot
nordsb [41]

Answer:

(a) 1.16 s

(b)0.861 Hz

Explanation:

(a) Period : The period of a simple harmonic motion is the time in seconds, required for a object undergoing oscillation to complete one cycle.

From the question,

If 1550 cycles is completed in (30×60) seconds,

1 cycle is completed in x seconds

x = 30×60/1550

x = 1.16 s

Hence the period is 1.16 seconds.

(b) Frequency : This can be defined as the number of cycles that is completed in one seconds, by an oscillating body. The S.I unit of frequency is Hertz (Hz).

Mathematically, Frequency is given as

F = 1/T ........................... Equation 1

Where F = frequency, T = period.

Given: T = 1.16 s.

Substitute into equation 1

F = 1/1.16

F = 0.862 Hz

Hence thee frequency = 0.862 Hz
