Answer:

The focal length of the mirror is 52.5 cm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Object to Image distance d = 140 cm

Image distance v= 35 cm

We need to calculate the object distance

$u = d-v$

$u = 140-35=105\ cm$

We need to calculate the focal length

Using formula of mirror

$\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{u}+\dfrac{1}{v}$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{-105}+\dfrac{1}{35}$

$\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{2}{105}$

$f=52.5\ cm$

Hence, The focal length of the mirror is 52.5 cm.

The drawing shows a wire composed of three segments, AB, BC, and CD. There is a current of I = 2.0 A in the wire. There is also

alexdok [17]

Answer:

The magnitude of the magnetic force acting on the wire is zero, because the magnetic field is parallel to the wire.

In fact, the magnetic force exerted by the magnetic field on the wire is

where I is the current in the wire, L the length of the wire, B the magnetic field intensity and the angle between the direction of B and the wire. In our problem, B and the wire are parallel, so the angle is and so , therefore the magnetic force is zero: F=0.

Calculate the de broglie wavelength (in picometers) of a hydrogen atom traveling at 440 m/s.

Aleonysh [2.5K]

De broglie wavelength, $\lambda = \frac{h}{mv}$ , where h is the Planck's constant, m is the mass and v is the velocity.

$h = 6.63*10^{-34}$

Mass of hydrogen atom, $m = 1.67*10^{-27}kg$

v = 440 m/s

Substituting

Wavelength $\lambda = \frac{h}{mv} = \frac{6.63*10^{-34}}{1.67*10^{-27}*440} = 0.902 *10^{-9}m = 902 *10^{-12}m$

$1 pm = 10^{-12}m\\ \\ So , \lambda =902 pm$

So the de broglie wavelength (in picometers) of a hydrogen atom traveling at 440 m/s is 902 pm

Suppose the magnitude of the proton charge differs from the magnitude of the electron charge by a mere 1 part in 109

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

A) F = 1.09 10 5 N, b) Yes

Explanation:

Part A

For this exercise we need the number of free electrons in copper, as the valence of copper +1 there is a free electron for each atom. Let's use the concept of density to find the mass of copper in the sphere

ρ = m / V

.m = ρ V = ρ 4/3 π r³

The radius is half the diameter

r = 1.9 10⁻² / 2 = 0.95 10⁻² m

ρ = 8960 kg / m3

m = 8960 4/3 π (0.95 10⁻²)³

m = 3.2179 10⁻² kg

The molecular weight of copper is 63,546 g / mol which has 6,022 10²³ atoms

With this we can use a rule of proportions to enter the number of atom is this mass

#_atom = 6.022 10²³ 3.2179 10⁻² / 63.546 10⁻³

#_atom = 3,049 10²³

Therefore there is the same number of electrons, as they indicate that the charge of the protone and the electon differs by 1/10⁹ the total charge for each spherical is

q = e / 10⁹ #_atom

q = e / 10⁹ 3,049 1023

q = 3,049 10⁴ (-1.6 10⁻¹⁹)

q = -4,878 10-5 C

Electric force is

F = k q₁q₂ / r²

F = k q² / r²

Let's calculate

F = 8.99 10⁹ (4.878 10⁻⁵)²2 / (1.4 10⁻²)²

F = 1.09 10 5 N

This is a force of repulsion.

Part B

The magnitude of this force is in very easy to detect

In a nuclear physics experiment, a proton (mass 1.67×10^(−27)kg, charge +e=+1.60×10^(−19)C) is fired directly at a target nucleu

Arte-miy333 [17]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

In a nuclear physics experiment, a proton (mass $1.67 \times 10^(-27)$ kg, charge +e = $+1.60 \times 10^(-19)$ C) is fired directly at a target nucleus of unknown charge. (You can treat both objects as point charges, and assume that the nucleus remains at rest.) When it is far from its target, the proton has speed $2.50 \times 10^6$ m/s. The proton comes momentarily to rest at a distance $5.31 \times 10^(-13)$ m from the center of the target nucleus, then flies back in the direction from which it came. What is the electric potential energy of the proton and nucleus when they are $5.31 \times 10^{-13}$ m apart?
