Answer:

a)E=2.88*10^{-13}N/C

b)E=1.44*10^{-13}N/C

c)F=4.61*10^{-32}N

Explanation:

The definition of a electric field produced by a point charge is:

E=k*q/r^2

<u>a)Electric Field due to the alpha particle:</u>

E=k*q_{alpha}/r^2=9*10^9*3.2*10^{-19}/(100)^2=2.88*10^{-13}N/C

<u>b)Electric Field  due to the electron:</u>

E=k*q_{electron}/r^2=9*10^9*1.6*10^{-19}/(100})^2=1.44*10^{-13}N/C

<u>c)Electric Force on the alpha particle, on the electron:</u>

The alpha particle and electron feel the same force magnitude but with opposite direction:

F=k*q_{electron}*q_{alpha}/r^2=9*10^9*1.6*10^{-19}*3.2*10^{-19}/(100)^2=4.61*10^{-32}N

The denizens of a distant planet live under an atmosphere made predominantly of CO2 which is a dispersive medium while attending
LuckyWell [14K]

Since the frequency of sound in a medium is constant, therefore, the concert-goers would hear the low notes and high notes at the same time.

<h3>What is a dispersive medium?</h3>

A dispersive medium is a medium which spreads out or disperses a substance passing through it.

Since CO2 is a dispersive medium, it means sound waves passing through it would be dispersed based on wavelength.

The note of a sound depends on its frequency, the higher the frequency, the higher the note.

Frequency of sound is constant, therefore, the concert-goers would hear the low notes and high notes at the same time.

A spring stretches 0.2 cm per newton of applied force. An object is suspended from the spring and a deflection of 3 cm is observ
siniylev [52]

Answer:

m=1.53kg    

Explanation:

To solve this problem we use the Hooke's Law:

F=k*\Delta x     (1)

F is the Force needed to expand or compress the spring by a distance Δx.

The spring stretches 0.2cm per Newton, in other words:

1N=k*0.2cm ⇒ k=1N/0.2cm=5N/cm  

The force applied is due to the weight

F=mg

We replace in (1):

mg=k*\Delta x  

We solve the equation for m:

m=k*\Delta x/g=5*3/9.81=1.53kg
