The mass of an electron is 9.109 x 10⁻³¹ kg

The weight of the electron is (mass) x (g) =  8.926 x 10⁻³⁰ Newton

The charge on an electron is -1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ Coulomb

The repelling force between the two electrons is (K · q₁ · q₂ / r²) =

(8.98755 x 10⁹ N-m²/C²) x (1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C)² / D²

In order for the bottom one to just exactly hold the top one up at a distance 'D', the repelling force has to be exactly equal to the weight of the upper electron.

8.926 x 10⁻³⁰ N = (8.98755 x 10⁹ N-m²/C²)·(1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C)² / D²

We have to solve THAT ugly mess for ' D '.

Clean up the units first:

Cancel the C² on the right side, then divide each side by Newton:

8.926 x 10⁻³⁰ = (8.98755 x 10⁹ m²) x (1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹)² / D²

Now, let's multiply both sides by (D² x 10²⁹) :

D² x 8.926 x 10⁻¹ = (8.98755 m²) x (1.602)²

Divide each side by (0.8926):

D² = (8.98755 x 1.602²) / (0.8926)  meter²

D² = 25.84 m²

Take the square root of each side:

<em>D = 5.08 meters</em>

How long does it take electrons to get from the car battery to the starting motor? Assume the current is 143 A and the electrons
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer

the concentration of electron/ volume (n) = 8.5 × 10²⁸ /m³

the drift velocity of electron

v = \dfrac{I}{neA}

v = \dfrac{143}{8.5\times 10^{28}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 40.2 \times 10^{-6}}

v = 2.615 × 10⁻⁴ m/s

time require is

t=\dfrac{L}{v}

t=\dfrac{0.845}{2.615\times 10^{-4}}

t = 3231.35 s

Find the ratio of the new/old periods of a pendulum if the pendulum were transported from earth to the moon, where the accelerat
vichka [17]
The period of a pendulum is given by
T=2 \pi  \sqrt{ \frac{L}{g} }
where L is the pendulum length and g is the gravitational acceleration.

We can write down the ratio between the period of the pendulum on the Moon and on Earth by using this formula, and we find:
\frac{T_m}{T_e} =  \frac{2 \pi  \sqrt{ \frac{L}{g_m} } }{2 \pi  \sqrt{ \frac{L}{g_e} } }=    \sqrt{ \frac{g_e}{g_m} }
where the labels m and e refer to "Moon" and "Earth".

Since the gravitational acceleration on Earth is g_e = 9.81 m/s^2 while on the Moon is g_m=1.63 m/s^2, the ratio between the period on the Moon and on Earth is
\frac{T_m}{T_e}= \sqrt{ \frac{g_e}{g_m} }= \sqrt{ \frac{9.81 m/s^2}{1.63 m/s^2} }=2.45

a child is stationary on a swing. The child is given a push by a parent and the child starts swinging
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

you havent given the full question

but im guessing momentum

momentum is the quantity of motion of a moving body, measured as a product of its mass and velocity or the impetus gained by a moving object.

Explanation:

as the child is pushed, it gathers momentum as its weight allows it be pushed forward, and the velocity is the speed driven by the amount of force the parent pushes on the child whilst they are swinging. The momentum is the result of this action

the equation that links these factors together are

p = mv

p = momentum

m = mass

v = velocity

hope i got it right ._.
