Answer:

Speed of electron when their separation increased by a factor of 4.10 is 9.41 x 10⁵ m/s .

Explanation:

The electric potential energy is given by the relation :

U = \frac{kq_{1}q_{2}  }{r}

Here q₁ and q₂ are the two charge particles and r is the distance between them and k is electric constant.

In this case, there are two electrons which are separated by the distance 4.32 x 10⁻¹⁰ m.

Let e be the electron charge and r₁ be the distance between them. Then, the initial electric potential energy is :

U_{1}  = \frac{ke^{2}   }{r_{1} }

Now, the distance between the electrons increases by the factor of 4.10. Let r₂ be the new distance between them i.e. r₂ = 4.10 r₁.

Thus, the new electric potential energy is :

U_{2}  = \frac{ke^{2}   }{r_{2} }=\frac{ke^{2}   }{4.10r_{1} }

Applying law of conservation of energy :

ΔU  = ΔK

Here ΔU is change in electric potential energy and ΔK is change in kinetic energy.

( U₁  - U₂ ) = ( K₂ - K₁ )

Here K₂ and K₁ are initial and final kinetic energy of electron.

Since, the electron initially is at rest, so its initial kinetic energy is zero. Thus, the above equation becomes:

K₂ = U₁ - U₂

\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}=\frac{ke^{2}   }{r_{1} }- \frac{ke^{2}   }{4.10r_{1} }

Here m and v are the mass and final speed of electron respectively.

v^{2}=\frac{2}{m} \frac{ke^{2}   }{r_{1} }(1- \frac{1  }{4.10 })

Substitute 9.1 x 10⁻³¹ kg for m, 9 x 10⁹ N m² C⁻² for k, 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C for e and 4.32 x 10⁻¹⁰ m for r₁ in the above equation.

v^{2}=\frac{2}{9.1\times10^{-31} } \frac{9\times10^{9}\times(1.6\times10^{-19})^{2}   }{4.32\times10^{-10} }(1- \frac{1  }{4.10 })

v^{2}=8.86\times10^{11}

v = 9.41 x 10⁵ m/s

Basalt, formed from magma, contains iron-rich minerals. Why is this important?
Svetach [21]
Iron is a magnetic metal, and it is essential to the Earth's magnetic field!
Essentially it "records" (stores the information, maintains) the direction and orientation of the magnetic field.

Among others, the magnetic field protects the Earth from dangerous cosmic rays.

A recent home energy bill indicates that a household used 475475 kWh (kilowatt‑hour) of electrical energy and 135135 therms for
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,.

A house hold power consumption is

475 KWh

Gas used is

135 thermal gas for month

Given that, 1 thermal = 29.3 KWh

Then,

135 thermal = 135 × 29.3 = 3955.5 KWh

So, total power used is

P = 475 + 3955.5

P =4430.5 KWh

Since 1 hr = 3600 seconds

So, the energy consumed for 1hr is

1KW = 1000W

P = energy / time

Energy = Power × time

E = 4430.5 KWhr × 1000W / KW × 3600s / hr

E = 1.595 × 10^10 J

So, using Albert Einstein relativity equation

E = mc²

m = E / c²

c is speed of light = 3 × 10^8 m/s

m = 1.595 × 10^10 / (3 × 10^8)²

m = 1.77 × 10^-7 kg

Then,

1 kg = 10^6 mg

m = 1.77 × 10^-7 kg × 10^6 mg / kg

m = 0.177mg

m ≈ 0.18 mg

¿Cuantos metros recorre una motocicleta en un segundo si circula a una velocidad de 90km/h?
Zina [86]

Answer:

La motocicleta recorre 25 metros en 1 segundo si circula a una velocidad de 90 km/h

Explanation:

La velocidad es una magnitud que expresa el desplazamiento que realiza un objeto en una unidad determinada de tiempo, esto es, relaciona el cambio de posición (o desplazamiento) con el tiempo.

Siendo la velocidad es el espacio recorrido en un período de tiempo determinado, entonces 90 km/h indica que en 1 hora la motocicleta recorre 90 km. Entonces, siendo 1 h= 3600 segundos (1 h=60 minutos y 1 minuto=60 segundos) podes aplicar la siguiente regla de tres: si en 3600 segundos (1 hora) la motocicleta recorre 90 km, entonces en 1 segundo ¿cuánta distancia recorrerá?

distancia=\frac{1 segundo*90 km}{3600 segundos}

distancia= 0.025 km

Por otro lado, aplicas la siguiente regla de tres: si 1 km es igual a 1,000 metros, ¿0.025 km cuántos metros son?

distancia=\frac{0.025 km*1,000 metros}{1 km}

distancia= 25 metros

<u><em>La motocicleta recorre 25 metros en 1 segundo si circula a una velocidad de 90 km/h</em></u>
