In order to answer these questions, we need to know the charges on
the electron and proton, and then we need to know the electron's mass.
I'm beginning to get the creepy feeling that, in return for the generous
5 points, you also want me to go and look these up so I can use them
in calculations ... go and collect my own straw to make the bricks with,
as it were.
Ok, Rameses:
Elementary charge . . . . . 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ coulomb
negative on the electron
plussitive on the proton
Electron rest-mass . . . . . 9.11 x 10⁻³¹ kg
a). The force between two charges is
F = (9 x 10⁹) Q₁ Q₂ / R²
= (9 x 10⁹ m/farad) (-1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹C) (1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹C) / (5.35 x 10⁻¹¹m)²
= ( -2.304 x 10⁻²⁸) / (5.35 x 10⁻¹¹)²
= 8.05 x 10⁻⁸ Newton .
b). Centripetal acceleration =
v² / r .
A = (2.03 x 10⁶)² / (5.35 x 10⁻¹¹)
= 7.7 x 10²² m/s² .
That's an enormous acceleration ... about 7.85 x 10²¹ G's !
More than enough to cause the poor electron to lose its lunch.
It would be so easy to check this work of mine ...
First I calculated the force, then I calculated the centripetal acceleration.
I didn't use either answer to find the other one, and I didn't use " F = MA "
either.
I could just take the ' F ' that I found, and the 'A' that I found, and the
electron mass that I looked up, and mash the numbers together to see
whether F = M A .
I'm going to leave that step for you. Good luck !
The right answer for the question that is being asked and shown above is that: "C) The alpha particle will be deflected in a curve path. " the result of an alpha particle coming into a magnetic field is that <span>C) The alpha particle will be deflected in a curve path. </span>
It's weird but technically correct to say that a radio wave can be considered a low-frequency light wave. Radio and light are both electromagnetic waves. The only difference is that radio waves have much much much longer wavelengths, and much much much lower frequencies, than light waves have. But they're both the same physical phenomenon.
However, a radio wave CAN'T also be considered to be a sound wave. These two things are as different as two waves can be.
-- Radio is an electromagnetic wave. Sound is a mechanical wave.
-- Radio waves travel more than 800 thousand times faster than sound waves do.
-- Radio waves are transverse waves. Sound waves are longitudinal waves.
-- Radio waves can travel through empty space. Sound waves need material stuff to travel through.
-- Radio waves can be detected by radio, TV, and microwave receivers. Sound waves can't.
-- Sound waves can be detected by our ears. Radio waves can't.
-- Sound waves can be generated by talking, or by hitting a frying pan with a spoon. Radio waves can't.
-- Radio waves can be generated by an alternating current flowing through an isolated wire. Sound waves can't.
Answer:
A car accelerating to the right
Explanation:
The free-body diagram shows all the forces acting on an object. The length of each arrow is proportional to the magnitude of the force represented by that arrow.
In this free-body diagram, we see that there are 4 forces acting on the object, in 4 different directions. We also see that the two vertical forces are equal so they are balanced, while the force to the rigth is larger than the force to the left: this means that there is a net force to the right, so the object is accelerating to the right.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
A car accelerating to the right
