How do scientists look for black holes in the sky

2 answers:

6 0

To find black holes in space, scientists use telescopes to study visible light, X-rays, and radio waves. When gas orbits a black hole, it gets very hot and starts emitting X-rays and radio waves. Through special telescopes, the area surrounding the black hole looks really bright.

Q1 is located at the origin, Q2 is located at x = 2.50 cm and Q3 is located at x = 3.50 cm. Q1 has a charge of +4.92μC and Q3 ha

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

$+1.11\mu C$

Explanation:

A charge located at a point will experience a zero electrostatic force if the resultant electric field on it due to any other charge(s) is zero.

$Q_1$ is located at the origin. The net force on it will only be zero if the resultant electric field intensity due to $Q_2$ and $Q_3$ at the origin is equal to zero. Therefore we can perform this solution without necessarily needing the value of $Q_1$ .

Let the electric field intensity due to $Q_2$ be + $E_2$ and that due to $Q_3$ be - $E_3$ since the charge is negative. Hence at the origin;

$+E_2-E_3=0..................(1)$

From equation (1) above, we obtain the following;

$E_2=E_3.................(2)$

From Coulomb's law the following relationship holds;

$+E_2=\frac{kQ_2}{r_2^2}\\$

$-E_3=\frac{kQ_3}{r_3^2}$

where $r_2$ is the distance of $Q_2$ from the origin, $r_3$ is the distance of $Q_3$ from the origin and k is the electrostatic constant.

It therefore means that from equation (2) we can write the following;

$\frac{kQ_2}{r_2^2}=\frac{kQ_3}{r_3^2}.................(3)$

k can cancel out from both side of equation (3), so that we finally obtain the following;

$\frac{Q_2}{r_2^2}=\frac{Q_3}{r_3^2}................(4)$

Given;

$Q_2=?\\r_2=2.5cm=0.025m\\Q_3=-2.18\mu C=-2.18* 10^{-6}C\\r_3=3.5cm=0.035m$

Substituting these values into equation (4); we obtain the following;

$\frac{Q_2}{0.025^2}=\frac{2.18*10^{-6}}{0.035^2}\\\\hence;\\\\Q_2=\frac{0.025^2*2.18*10^{-6}}{0.035^2}\\$

$Q_2=\frac{0.00136*10^{-6}}{0.00123}=1.11*10^{-6}C\\\\Q_3=+1.11\mu C$

A parallel-plate capacitor is connected to a battery until it is fully charged. Then, the capacitor is disconnected from the bat

Helga [31]

Answer:

The potential between the plates will decrease.

Explanation:

An insulator is usually placed between the parallel plates and is also called a dielectric because it makes the amount of charge a capacitor can accommodate to increase at a particular potential difference.

Furthermore, the dielectric effect will make the electric field of the charged capacitor which is not connected to a source of supply to decrease.

Now, when the battery is removed, the charge Q remains constant and Capacity C will increase.

Formula for the potential difference is here;

V = Q/C

Since the numerator Q is constant and the denominator C increases, it means the potential difference V will decrease
