Calculate the Potential Energy of an object that has a mass of 14-kg and is located at a height of 24-m?

An object with a mass of m = 3.85 kg is suspended at rest between the ceiling and the floor by two thin vertical ropes.

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

The tension in the upper rope is determined as 50.53 N.

<h3>Tension in the upper rope</h3>

The tension in the upper rope is calculated as follows;

T(u) = T(d)+ mg

where;

T(u) is tension in upper rope
T(d) is tension in lower rope

T(u) = 12.8 N + 3.85(9.8)

T(u) = 50.53 N

Thus, the tension in the upper rope is determined as 50.53 N.

Which change occurs when an atom undergoes alpha decay?

oee [108]

In an alpha decay, an atom emits an alpha particle. An alpha particle consists of 2 protons and 2 neutrons: this means that during this kind of decay, the original atom loses 2 protons and 2 neutrons from its nucleus.

This also means that the atomic number Z of the element (the atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus) decreases by 2 units in the process, while the mass number A (the mass number is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons) decreases by 4 units.

g a small smetal sphere, carrying a net charge is held stationarry. what is the speed are 0.4 m apart

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

The speed of q₂ is $4\sqrt{10}\ m/s$

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 0.4 m apart

Suppose, A small metal sphere, carrying a net charge q₁ = −2μC, is held in a stationary position by insulating supports. A second small metal sphere, with a net charge of q₂ = −8μC and mass 1.50g, is projected toward q₁. When the two spheres are 0.800m apart, q₂ is moving toward q₁ with speed 20m/s.

We need to calculate the speed of q₂

Using conservation of energy

$E_{i}=E_{f}$

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{i}^2+\dfrac{kq_{1}q_{2}}{r_{i}}=\dfrac{kq_{1}q_{2}}{r_{f}}+\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{f}^2$

$\dfrac{1}{2}m(v_{i}^2-v_{f}^2)=kq_{1}q_{2}(\dfrac{1}{r_{f}}-\dfrac{1}{r_{i}})$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{1}{2}\times1.5\times10^{-3}(20^2-v_{f}^2)=9\times10^{9}\times-2\times10^{-6}\times-8\times10^{-6}(\dfrac{1}{(0.4)}-\dfrac{1}{(0.8)})$

$0.00075(400-v_{f}^2)=0.18
$

$400-v_{f}^2=\dfrac{0.18}{0.00075}$

$-v_{f}^2=240-400$

$v_{f}^2=160$

$v_{f}=4\sqrt{10}\ m/s$

Hence, The speed of q₂ is $4\sqrt{10}\ m/s$

Even in the most advanced circuits, we cannot oscillate electrons back and forth at that rate through wires. But we can oscillat

den301095 [7]

Answer:

the oscillations of the electrons must be in the 10⁸ Hz = 100 MHz range

Explanation:

The speed of a wave of radio, television, light, heat, all are manifestations of electromagnetic waves that are oscillations of electric and magnetic fields that support each other, the speed of all these waves is the same and the vacuum is equal to c = 3 108 m / s

All waves have a relationship between the speed of the wave, its frequency and wavelength

c = λ f

f = c /λ

for this case lam = 1 m

f = 3 10⁸/1

f = 3 10⁸ Hz

the oscillations of the electrons must be in the MHz range

It should be clarified that the speed of light in air is a little lower

n = c / v

v = c / n

the refractive index of vacuum is n = 1 and the refractive index of air is n = 1.000002
