What is the magnitude of a the vertical electric field that will balance the weight of a plastic sphere of mass that has been ch

Physics
1 answer:
Lyrx [107]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Let E be the strength of electric field and m be the mass of plastic sphere.

charge on plastic sphere, q = - 3 n C = - 3 x 10^-9 C

The force due to electric field on the charged plastic sphere = q E

The weight of the plastic sphere = m g

where, g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Now the force due to electrostatic field is balanced by teh weight of the plastic sphere.

q E = m g

E = m g / q

E = m x 9.8 / (3 x 10^-9) = 3.26 x 10^9 x m

Substitute the value of m and get the value E.

Assuming that the smallest measurable wavelength in an experiment is 0.950 fm , what is the maximum mass of an object traveling
Arada [10]

Answer:

The maximum mass is 2.89x10^{-21}Kg

Explanation:

The wavelength of the electron can be determined by means of the De Broglie equation.

\lambda = \frac{h}{p} (1)

Where h is the Planck's constant and p is the momentum.

\lambda = \frac{h}{mv}  

m = \frac{h}{\lambda v}  (2)

Where m is the mass and v is the velocity.

Before using equation 2 it is necessary to express the wavelength from femtometers to meters.

\lambda = 0.950fm .\frac{1m}{1x10^{15}fm} -- 9.5x10^{-16}m

Finally, equation 2 can be used.

m = \frac{6.624x10^{-34} J.s}{(9.5x10^{-16}m)(241m/s)}

But 1J = Kg.m^{2}/s^{2}

m = \frac{6.624x10^{-34} Kg.m^{2}/s^{2}.s}{(9.5x10^{-16}m)(241m/s)}

m = 2.89x10^{-21}Kg    

Hence, the maximum mass is 2.89x10^{-21}Kg

A 6.00 g lead bullet traveling at420 m/s is stopped by a large
Westkost [7]

Answer:

The increase in temperature of the bullet is 351.1 kelvin

Explanation:

First, we should find the kinetic energy of the bullet is:

K=\frac{mv^{2}}{2}=\frac{(6\times10^{-3}\,kg)(420\,\frac{m}{s})^{2}}{2}

with m the mass and v the velocity.

K=529.2 J

Now we know that half of the kinetic energy of the bullet is transformed into internal energy, by second's law of thermodynamics that means heat (Q) to raise bullet temperature (T), so:

Q=\frac{K}{2}= 264.6\,J

To know what the increase in temperature is, we should use specific heat of lead:

c=125.604 \frac{J}{kg\.K}

The equation that relates specific heat, change in temperature and mass is:

Q=cm\varDelta T

solving for \varDelta T:

\varDelta T=\frac{Q}{cm}=\frac{264.6}{(125.604)(6\times10^{-3})}

\varDelta T= 351.10\, K
