Answer:

it leads to attraction, only because the total energy of the electron is negative. Therefore the electron moves closer to the proton rather than farther from it an attractive force.... Electrons are negatively charged and protons are positively charged.

g suppose a spring with spring constant of 50 N/m is hanging from the ceiling. You hang 2.0 kg mass from the spring. How far is

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

The extension of the spring is 0.392 m.

Explanation:

Given;

spring constant, k = 50 N/m

mass attached to the spring, m = 2.0 kg

let the extension of the spring = x

The extension of the spring is calculated by applying Hook's law;

F = kx

mg = kx

$x = \frac{mg}{k} \\\\x = \frac{2 \times 9.8}{50} \\\\x = 0.392 \ m$

Therefore, the extension of the spring is 0.392 m.

A sheet of gold leaf has a thickness of 0.125 micrometer. A gold atom has a radius of 174pm. Approximately how many layers of at

Olegator [25]

Answer:

719

Explanation:

Conversion

1 picometer (pm) is equivalent to $1 × 10^{-12}$ meter

1 micrometer is equivalent to $1 × 10^{-6}$ meter

To find the number of layers, we divide the overal leaf thickness by the thickness of one atom hence dividing tex]0.125 × 10^{-6}[/tex] meter by $174 × 10^{-12}$ meter we get that the number of sheets will be as follows

$\frac {0.125× 10^{-6}}{174\times 10^{-12}}=718.3908045\approx 719$

Therefore, they are approximately 719 sheets

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Ai. Speed of the fragment with mass mA= 1.35 kg is 34.64 m/s

Aii. Speed of the fragment with mass mB = 0.270 kg is 77.46 m/s

B. 475.3 m

Explanation:

A. Determination of the speed of each fragment.

I. Determination of the speed of the fragment with mass mA = 1.35 kg

Mass of fragment (m₁) = 1.35 kg

Kinetic energy (KE) = 810 J

Velocity of fragment (u₁) =?

KE = ½m₁u₁²

810 = ½ × 1.35 × u₁²

810 = 0.675 × u₁²

Divide both side by 0.675

u₁² = 810 / 0.675

u₁² = 1200

Take the square root of both side.

u₁ = √1200

u₁ = 34.64 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the fragment with mass mA = 1.35 kg is 34.64 m/s

II. I. Determination of the speed of the fragment with mass mB = 0.270 kg

Mass of fragment (m₂) = 0.270 kg

Kinetic energy (KE) = 810 J

Velocity of fragment (u₂) =?

KE = ½m₂u₂²

810 = ½ × 0.270 × u₂²

810 = 0.135 × u₂²

Divide both side by 0.135

u₂² = 810 / 0.135

u₂² = 6000

Take the square root of both side.

u₂ = √6000

u₂ = 77.46 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the fragment with mass mB = 0.270 kg is 77.46 m/s

B. Determination of the distance between the points on the ground where they land.

We'll begin by calculating the time taken for the fragments to get to the ground. This can be obtained as follow:

Maximum height (h) = 90.0 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Time (t) =?

h = ½gt²

90 = ½ × 10 × t²

90 = 5 × t²

Divide both side by 5

t² = 90/5

t² = 18

Take the square root of both side

t = √18

t = 4.24 s

Thus, it will take 4.24 s for each fragments to get to the ground.

Next, we shall determine the horizontal distance travelled by the fragment with mass mA = 1.35 kg. This is illustrated below:

Velocity of fragment (u₁) = 34.64 m/s

Time (t) = 4.24 s

Horizontal distance travelled by the fragment (s₁) =?

s₁ = u₁t

s₁ = 34.64 × 4.24

s₁ = 146.87 m

Next, we shall determine the horizontal distance travelled by the fragment with mass mB = 0.270 kg. This is illustrated below:

Velocity of fragment (u₂) = 77.46 m/s

Time (t) = 4.24 s

Horizontal distance travelled by the fragment (s₂) =?

s₂ = u₂t

s₂ = 77.46 × 4.24

s₂ = 328.43 m

Finally, we shall determine the distance between the points on the ground where they land.

Horizontal distance travelled by the 1st fragment (s₁) = 146.87 m

Horizontal distance travelled by the 2nd fragment (s₂) = 328.43 m

Distance apart (S) =?

S = s₁ + s₂

S = 146.87 + 328.43

S = 475.3 m

Therefore, the distance between the points on the ground where they land is 475.3 m
