why does static electricity, the buildup of charge on a material's surface, occur in insulating material

1 answer:

7 0

When rubbing two insulators together, electrons from one insulator will be transfered to the other. so the insulator that has just received electrons now has a negative charge as it has received more electrons (making it more negative) the insulator that has just lost electrons has just become positively charged. NEVER SAY THAT PROTONS HAVE BEEN TRANSEFERD.... EVER. ONLY ELECTORNS ARE TRANSFERED.

You use more significant figures. 5 sigfigs (1.0985) is more accurate than 2 sigfigs (1.0)

A sample of an unknown substance has a mass of 89.5 g. If 345.2 J of heat are required to heat the substance from 285 K to 305 K

Zinaida [17]

Heat gained in a system can be calculated by multiplying the given mass to the specific heat capacity of the substance and the temperature difference. It is expressed as follows:

Heat = mC(T2-T1)
345.2 = 89.5(C)(305 - 285)
C = 0.1928 J/g•K

(a) What is the minimum width of a single slit (in multiples of λ ) that will produce a first minimum for a wavelength λ ? (b) W

Kitty [74]

Answer:

The minimum value of width for first minima is λ

The minimum value of width for 50 minima is 50λ

The minimum value of width for 1000 minima is 1000λ

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength = λ

For D to be small,

We need to calculate the minimum width

Using formula of minimum width

$D\sin\theta=n\lambda$

$D=\dfrac{n\lambda}{\sin\theta}$

Where, D = width of slit

$\lambda$ = wavelength

Put the value into the formula

$D=\dfrac{n\lambda}{\sin\theta}$

Here, $\sin\theta$ should be maximum.

So. maximum value of $\sin\theta$ is 1

Put the value into the formula

$D=\dfrac{1\times\lambda}{1}$

$D=\lambda$

(b). If the minimum number is 50

Then, the width is

$D=\dfrac{50\times\lambda}{1}$

$D=50\lambda$

(c). If the minimum number is 1000

Then, the width is

$D=\dfrac{1000\times\lambda}{1}$

$D=1000\lambda$

Hence, The minimum value of width for first minima is λ

The minimum value of width for 50 minima is 50λ

The minimum value of width for 1000 minima is 1000λ

How many electrons would it take to equal the mass of a proton? Use two significant figures.

mezya [45]

How many electrons would it take to equal the mass of a proton:
Here's one way of finding the value of it:
=> number of electrons is equivalent to 1 proton.
Let's have an example.
1.6726*10 -24g
_______________
1 proton
______________
9.109*10- ^28g
_______________
1 electron

Based on the given example above, the electrons is 1 839 per 1 proton.
It's about 1800 electrons/proton.
