Answer:

B) protons and neutrons.

Explanation:

The protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus of the atom and represent most of the 'mass' of the atom, that's their count that determine the 'mass' of an atom (like 12 for Carbon).

The electrons rotate around the nucleus and have a negligible mass.

A particle of charge Q is fixed at the origin of an xy coordinate system. At t = 0 a particle (m = 0.959 g, q = 5.84 µC is locat
NemiM [27]

Answer:

8.66\times 10^{-6}\ C or 8.66\ \mu C.

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • Charge on the particle at origin = Q.
  • Mass of the moving charged particle, \rm m = 0.959\ g = 0.959\times 10^{-3}\ kg.
  • Charge on the moving charged particle, \rm q = 5.84\ \mu C = 5.84\times 10^{-6}\ C.
  • Distance of the moving charged particle from first at t = 0 time, \rm r=20.7\ cm = 0.207\ m.
  • Speed of the moving particle, \rm v = 47.9\ m/s.

For the moving particle to circular motion, the electrostatic force between the two must be balanced by the centripetal force on the moving particle.

The electrostatic force on the moving particle due to the charge Q at origin is given by Coulomb's law as:

\rm F_e = \dfrac{kqQ}{r^2}.

where, \rm k is the Coulomb's constant having value \rm 9\times 10^9\ Nm^2/C^2.

The centripetal force on the moving particle due to particle at origin is given as:

\rm F_c = \dfrac{mv^2}{r}.

For the two forces to be balanced,

\rm F_e = F_c\\\dfrac{kqQ}{r^2}=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow Q = \dfrac{mv^2}{r}\times \dfrac{r^2}{kq}\\=\dfrac{mv^2r}{kq}\\=\dfrac{(0.959\times 10^{-3})\times (47.9)^2\times (0.207)}{(9\times 10^9)\times (5.84\times 10^{-6})}\\=8.66\times 10^{-6}\ C\\=8.66\ \mu C.

If the direction changes as a motorcycle goes around the curve, what else must be changing?A. AccelerationB. ForceC. SpeedD. Vel
pogonyaev

In physics, circular motion is a movement of an object along the circumference of a circle or rotation along a circular path. It can be uniform, with constant angular rate of rotation and constant speed, or non-uniform with a changing rate of rotation. Since the object's velocity vector is constantly changing direction, the moving object is undergoing acceleration by a centripetal force in the direction of the center of rotation. Without this acceleration, the object would move in a straight line.

In this sense, the acceleration is always changing due to centripetal acceleration.

Answer:

A. Acceleration

100 points!!! Please help!!!
Greeley [361]

Answer:

41°

Explanation:

Kinetic energy at bottom = potential energy at top

½ mv² = mgh

½ v² = gh

h = v²/(2g)

h = (2.4 m/s)² / (2 × 9.8 m/s²)

h = 0.294 m

The pendulum rises to a height of  above the bottom.  To determine the angle, we need to use trigonometry (see attached diagram).

L − h = L cos θ

cos θ = (L − h) / L

cos θ = (1.2 − 0.294) / 1.2

θ = 41.0°

Rounded to two significant figures, the pendulum makes a maximum angle of 41° with the vertical.
