Remember Coulomb's law: the magnitude of the electric force F between two stationary charges q₁ and q₂ over a distance r is
where k ≈ 8,98 × 10⁹ kg•m³/(s²•C²) is Coulomb's constant.
8.1. The diagram is simple, since only two forces are involved. The particle at Q₂ feels a force to the left due to the particle at Q₁ and a downward force due to the particle at Q₃.
8.2. First convert everything to base SI units:
0,02 µC = 0,02 × 10⁻⁶ C = 2 × 10⁻⁸ C
0,03 µC = 3 × 10⁻⁸ C
0,04 µC = 4 × 10⁻⁸ C
300 mm = 300 × 10⁻³ m = 0,3 m
600 mm = 0,6 m
Force due to Q₁ :
Force due to Q₃ :
8.3. The net force on the particle at Q₂ is the vector
Its magnitude is

terminates in the third quadrant, but the inverse tangent function can only return angles between -90° and 90°. We use the fact that tan(x) has a period of 180° to get the angle that ends in the right quadrant.
Answer:
True.
Explanation:
A diode, which allows current to flow in one direction only, consists of two types of semiconductors joined together.
A semiconductor can be defined as a crystalline solid substance that has its conductivity lying between that of a metal and an insulator, due to the effects of temperature or an addition of an impurity. Semiconductors are classified into two main categories;
1. Extrinsic semiconductor.
2. Intrinsic semiconductor.
An intrinsic semiconductor is a crystalline solid substance that is in its purest form and having no impurities added to it. Examples of intrinsic semiconductor are Germanium and Silicon.
In an intrinsic semiconductor, the number of free electrons is equal to the number of holes. Also, in an intrinsic semiconductor the number of holes and free electrons is directly proportional to the temperature; as the temperature increases, the number of holes and free electrons increases and vice-versa.
In an intrinsic semiconductor, each free electrons (valence electrons) produces a covalent bond.
Answer: c. they will hit the ground at the same time
Explanation:
The volume of both objects is almost the same, so the force of friction will be the same in each one, so we can discard it.
Now, when yo drop an object, the acceleration of the object is always g = 9.8m/s^2 downwards, independent of the mass of the object.
So if you drop two objects with the same volume but different mass, because the acceleration is the same for both of them, they will hit the ground at the same time, this means that the density of the object has no impact in how much time the object needs to reach the floor.
So the correct option is c
Wouldn't it be neat if an electron falling closer to the nucleus ... emitting a
photon ... actually gave out more energy than it needed to climb to its original
energy level by absorbing a photon ! If there were some miraculous substance
that could do that, we'd have it made.
All we'd need is a pile of it in our basement, with a bright light bulb over the pile,
connected to a tiny hand-crank generator.
Whenever we wanted some energy, like for cooking or heating the house, we'd
switch the light bulb on, point it towards the pile, and give the little generator a
little shove. It wouldn't take much to git 'er going.
The atoms in the pile would absorb some photons, raising their electrons to higher
energy levels. Then the electrons would fall back down to lower energy levels,
releasing more energy than they needed to climb up. We could take that energy,
use some of it to keep the light bulb shining on the pile, and use the extra to heat
the house or run the dishwasher.
The energy an electron absorbs when it climbs to a higher energy level (forming
the atom's absorption spectrum) is precisely identical to the energy it emits when
it falls back to its original level (creating the atom's emission spectrum).
Energy that wasn't either there in the atom to begin with or else pumped
into it from somewhere can't be created there.
You get what you pay for, or, as my grandfather used to say, "For nothing
you get nothing."
Answer:
a) 17.49 seconds
b) 13.12 seconds
c) 2.99 m/s²
Explanation:
a) Acceleration = a = 1.35 m/s²
Final velocity = v = 85 km/h = 
Initial velocity = u = 0
Equation of motion
Time taken to accelerate to top speed is 17.49 seconds.
b) Acceleration = a = -1.8 m/s²
Initial velocity = u = 23.61\ m/s
Final velocity = v = 0
Time taken to stop the train from top speed is 13.12 seconds
c) Initial velocity = u = 23.61 m/s
Time taken = t = 7.9 s
Final velocity = v = 0
Emergency acceleration is 2.99 m/s² (magnitude)
