Elementary charge used to determine charges of other objects is equal to a charge of electron or proton. It's value is roughly 1.6* 10^{-19} C. All other charges are whole-number multipliers of this elementary charge, meaning that we multiply elementary charge by {...,-2,-1,0,1,2,...}.

To find out if the measured charge can be accepted we need to divide it with elementary charge to see if we get whole number as result.
There are three possible values of measured charge: 8.7* 10^{-19} C\\ 8.8* 10^{-19} C \\ 8.9* 10^{-19} C

N_{1} = \frac{8.7* 10^{-19} C }{1.6* 10^{-19} C } =5.44 \\ N_{2} = \frac{8.8* 10^{-19} C }{1.6* 10^{-19} C } =5.5 \\ N_{3} = \frac{8.9* 10^{-19} C }{1.6* 10^{-19} C } =5.56

As we can see none of the possible values of a measured charge is whole-number multiplier of elementary charge so the researcher should not accept the value.
This charge can be achieved by using quarks which have value of 1/3 of elementary charge but they do not remain stable for long enough.

A 2.00 kg cat is in a 97.00 kg elevator. What force on the elevator cable would be needed to lower the cat/elevator pair with an
umka21 [38]

The magnitude of force on the elevator cable that would be needed to lower the cat/elevator pair is 198 Newton.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Mass of cat = 2 kg
  • Mass of elevator = 97 kg
  • Acceleration = 2 m/s^2

To determine the magnitude of force on the elevator cable that would be needed to lower the cat/elevator pair, we would apply Newton's Second Law of Motion:

First of all, we would calculate the total mass of the cat/elevator pair.

Total \;mass=2 + 97

Total mass = 99 kilograms

Mathematically, Newton's Second Law of Motion is given by this formula;

Force = mass \times acceleration

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

Force = 99 \times 2

Net force = 198 Newton

Which describes the greenhouse effect? 1. Earth continues to get warmer over time because it is slowly moving closer to the sun.
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer: The green house effect is best described by option 4 (Energy given off by earth is reflected off of earth's atmosphere back down to the surface).

Explanation:

The green house effect can be described as the energy given off by earth is reflected off of earth's atmosphere back down to the surface.

When energy from the sun passes through the atmosphere, some are absorbed which keeps the earth surface warm. While the rest is reflected back largely by cloud.

The energy which is emitted from the earth surface is called the infrared radiation. Some of the infrared radiation passess through the atmosphere but most is absorbed and re- emitted in all directions by the greenhouse gas molecules and clouds. This effect warms the earth surface and the lower atmosphere. Therefore this statement (Energy given off by earth is reflected off of earth's atmosphere back down to the surface) is correct about greenhouse effect.

For the greenhouse effect to occur, greenhouse gas molecules are mostly needed. Examples of these gases include:

--> Carbon dioxide (CO2),

--> Water vapor (H2O), and

--> Methane (CH4)

Over the years, the excessive human activities has lead to increase in the greenhouse gas molecules which has negatively affected the greenhouse effects.

A single circular loop of wire of radius 0.75 m carries a constant current of 3.0 A. The loop may be rotated about an axis that
NISA [10]

Answer:

B = 0.8 T

Explanation:

It is given that,

Radius of circular loop, r = 0.75 m

Current in the loop, I = 3 A

The loop may be rotated about an axis that passes through the center and lies in the plane of the loop.

When the orientation of the normal to the loop with respect to the direction of the magnetic field is 25°, the torque on the coil is 1.8 Nm.

We need to find the magnitude of the uniform magnetic field exerting this torque on the loop. Torque acting on the loop is given by :

\tau=NIAB\sin\theta

B is magnetic field

B=\dfrac{\tau}{NIA\sin\theta}\\\\B=\dfrac{1.8}{1\times \pi \times (0.75)^2\times 3\times \sin(25)}\\\\B=0.8\ T

So, the magnitude of the uniform magnetic field exerting this torque on the loop is 0.8 T.
