Metal sphere having an excess of +5 elementary charges has a net electric charge of

Physics
1 answer:
Natasha2012 [34]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

q=+8.01\cdot 10^{-19}\ coulombs

Explanation:

<u>Elementary charge</u>

The elementary charge, denoted by the symbol e is the electric charge carried by a proton or, equivalently, the magnitude of a negative electric charge carried by an electron, which has charge −e.

The value of the elementary charge is a fundamental constant in physics:

\mathbf{e}=1.60217662 \cdot 10^{-19}\ coulombs

If a metal sphere has an excess of +5 elementary charge, then it has a net charge of:

q=5*\mathbf{e}=+5*1.60217662 \cdot 10^{-19}\ coulombs

\boxed{q=+8.01\cdot 10^{-19}\ coulombs}

The index of refraction for water is about 4 3 . What happens as a beam of light travels from air into water?
hjlf

Answer:

Its speed decreases.

Explanation:

When light enters into water, its speed decreases (as well as its frequency). This is the reason why refraction (the bending of light when it changes media) occurs.

This can be proven mathematically.

Given that the refractive index of water is 4/3, we know that refractive index is the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in another medium.

Therefore,

4/3 = (speed of light in vacuum) / (speed of light in water)

Speed of light in a vacuum is 3 * 10^8. Hence,

Speed of light in water is:

v = (3 * 10^8) / (4/3)

v = 2.25 * 10^8 m/s

As we can see, the speed of light decreases in water.

What are the periodic variations in Earth's rotation and orbit around the sun that alter the way solar radiation is distributed
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

1. The precession of the equinoxes.

2. Changes in the tilt angle of Earth’s rotational axis relative to the plane of Earth’s orbit around the Sun.

3. Variations in the eccentricity

Explanation:

These variations listed above;  the precession of the equinoxes (refers, changes in the timing of the seasons of summer and winter), this occurs on  a roughly about 26,000-year interval; changes in the tilt angle of Earth’s rotational axis relative to the plane of Earth’s orbit around the Sun, this occurs roughly in a 41,000-year interval; and changes in the eccentricity (that is a departure from a perfect circle) of Earth’s orbit around the Sun, occurring on a roughly 100,000-year timescale. which influences the mean annual solar radiation at the top of Earth’s atmosphere.

If electrical current is moving through a horizontal wire toward your face, what direction is the induced magnetic field?
adoni [48]

Answer:(b)

Explanation:

Given

Electric current flowing through the horizontal wire towards the observer's face.

The direction of the magnetic field is given by the right-hand thumb rule, i.e. place the thumb in the direction of current and the wrapping of fingers will give the direction of the magnetic field

the direction of the magnetic field will be counterclockwise as observed by an observer.
