A small piece of dust of mass m = 4.1 µg travels through an electric air cleaner in which the electric field is 466 N/C. The ele

ctric force on the dust particle is equal to the weight of the particle.
(a) What is the charge on the dust particle?
C

(b) If this charge is provided by an excess of electrons, how many electrons does that correspond to?
electrons

Answer:

Explanation:

mass, m = 4.1 x 10^-6 g

Electric field, E = 466 N/C

Electric force = weight

(a) Electric force = q x E = m x g

where, q be the charge on the dust particle.

q x 466 = 4.1 x 10^-6 x 9.8

q = 8.62 x 10^-8 C

(b) Number of electron  = charge / charge of one electron

n = 8.62 x 10^-8 / (1.6 x 10^-19)

n = 5.4 x 10^11

Two rockets are flying in the same direction and are side by side at the instant their retrorockets fire. Rocket A has an initia
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

-22.2 m/s²

Explanation:

The equation for position x for a constant acceleration a, time t and initial velocity v₀, initial position x₀:

(1) x=\frac{1}{2}at^2+v_0t+x_0

For rocket A the initial and final position: x = x₀= 0. Using these values in equation 1 gives:

(2) 0=\frac{1}{2}at^2+v_0t

Solving for time t:

-\frac{1}{2}at^2=v_0t

(3) t=-\frac{2v_0}{a}

The times for both rockets must be equal, since they start and end at the same location. Using equation 3 for rocket A and B gives:

(4) \frac{v_{0A}}{a_A}=\frac{v_{0B}}{a_B}

Solving equation 4 for acceleration of rocket B:

(5) a_B=a_A\frac{v_{0B}}{v_{0A}}

In your lab group you combined salt and water. Then you compared what happens when an egg is placed in tap water versus salt wat
Anestetic [448]

Answer: the density changed, the salt dissolved in the water, the salt and the water can still be separated into their individual molecules.

Explanation: physical changes are changes in size, shape, or state. Another way to think about a physical change is any change not involving a change in the substance’s chemical identity. You cannot write a chemical equation for salt water because the chemical identity is still salt AND water

A rectangular copper strip 1.5cm wide and 0.10cn thick carries a current of 5.0A. Find the Hall voltage for a 1.2T magnetic fiel
Scrat [10]

Answer:

4.4345× 10^-7V

Explanation:

The computation of the half voltage for a 1.2T magnetic field applied is shown below

The volume of one mole of copper is

v = m ÷p

= 63.5 ÷ 8.92

= 7.12cm

Now the density of free electrons in copper is

n = Na ÷ V

= 6.02 × 10^23 ÷ 7.12

= 8.456× 10^28/m^3

Now the half voltage is

= IB ÷ nqt

= (5 × 1.20) ÷ (8.456× 10^28 × 1.6 × 10^-19 × 0.1× 10^-2)

= 4.4345× 10^-7V

Which statement correctly describes the relationship between frequency and wavelength?
Len [333]
The relationship between the frequency and wavelength of a wave is given by the equation:

v=λf, where v is the velocity of the wave, λ is the wavelength and f is the frequency. 

If we divide the equation by f we get:

λ=v/f

From here we see that the wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional. So as the frequency increases the wavelength decreases. 

So the second statement is true: As the frequency of a wave increases, the shorter the wavelength is.

If a 100 N net force acts on a 50 kg car, what will the acceleration of the car will be?
Allushta [10]
According to newton's law Force = mass * acceleration
so , 100 = 50 * a
so , a= 2 m/s^2
