What is the energy stored between 2 Carbon nuclei that are 1.00 nm apart from each other? HINT: Carbon nuclei have 6 protons and

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

$A. 8.29\times 10^{-18}\ J$

Explanation:

Given that:

p = magnitude of charge on a proton = $1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

k = Boltzmann constant = $9\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2$

r = distance between the two carbon nuclei = 1.00 nm = $1.00\times 10^{-9}\ m$

Since a carbon nucleus contains 6 protons.

So, charge on a carbon nucleus is $q = 6p=6\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C=9.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

We know that the electric potential energy between two charges q and Q separated by a distance r is given by:

$U = \dfrac{kQq}{r}$

So, the potential energy between the two nuclei of carbon is as below:

$U= \dfrac{kqq}{r}\\\Rightarrow U = \dfrac{kq^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow U = \dfrac{9\times10^9\times (9.6\times 10^{-19})^2}{1.0\times 10^{-9}}\\\Rightarrow U =8.29\times 10^{-18}\ J$

Hence, the energy stored between two nuclei of carbon is $8.29\times 10^{-18}\ J$ .

Light-rail passenger trains that provide transportation within and between cities speed up and slow down with a nearly constant

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

25 m/s

Explanation:

Given that:

Initial speed, u = 4 m/s

Final velocity, V = 11 m/s

Time, t = 8 seconds

t2, = 16 seconds

Acceleration, a= (change in velocity) / time interval

a = (11 - 4) / 8

a = 7 / 8 = 0.875m/s²

Final velocity, v2 ;

Acceleration * t2

0.875 * 16 = 14

V2 = 14 m/s

Final speed : v + v2 = (11 + 14)m/s = 25m/s

A student, who weighs 720N, is standing on a bathroom scale and riding an elevator that is moving downwards with a speed that is

jasenka [17]

Answer:

1) The mass of the student is approximately 73.39 kg

2) The net force on the student is approximately 947.523 N

3) The value the scale will read is approximately 96.59 kg

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The weight of the student = 720 N

The speed at which the elevator is decreasing = 3.1 m/s²

1) The weight of the student = The mass of the student × The acceleration due to gravity

The acceleration due to gravity is a constant = 9.81 m/s²

Substituting the known values gives;

720 N = The mass of the student × 9.81 m/s²

∴ The mass of the student = 720 N/(9.81 m/s²) ≈ 73.39 kg

2) The forces acting on the student are;

i) The force of gravity which is the weight of the student acting downwards

ii) The inertia force of the slowing elevator acting downwards in the same direction as the weight of the student

The net force, $F_{net}$ = The weight of the student + The inertia force of the slowing elevator

∴ The net force, $F_{net}$ = 720 N + 73.39 kg × 3.1 m/s² ≈ 947.523 N

3) The scale will read the mass of the student as follows;

Mass reading of student on the scale = Force on scale/9.81

∴ Mass reading of student on the scale = 947.523/9.81 ≈ 96.59 kg

The value the scale will read = 96.59 kg.
