A positively charged particle Q1 = +15nC is held fixed at the origin. A second charge Q2 of mass m = 9.5g is floating a distance

d = 25cm above charge Q1. The net force on Q2 is equal to zero. You may assume this system is close to the surface of the Earth.
Calculate the magnitude of Q2 in units of nanocoulombs.

Answer:

Q_2=4.4293\times 10^{22}\ nC

Explanation:

Given

charge on the fixed particle, Q_1=15\times 10^{-9}\ C

mass of the second charge, m_2=9.5\times 10^{-3}\ kg

distance between the fixed charge and the floating charge on the top, d=0.25\ m

  • According to the question the second charge is floating just above the fixed positive charge despite of gravity this means that the floating charge is also positive in nature and hence feels the repulsion from the fixed charge which is equal in magnitude to the gravitational force on the charge.

m_2.g=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0} \times \frac{Q_1.Q_2}{d^2}

where:

\epsilon_0= permittivity of free space

g = acceleration due to gravity

9.5\times 10^{-3}\times 9.8=8.85\times 10^{-9}\times \frac{15\times 10^{-9}\times Q_2}{0.25^2}

Q_2=4.4293\times 10^{22}\ nC

In which situation is no work being done?
Nataliya [291]
I would say that work is being done in all the situations because technically in physics work is done whenever force is applied through a distance.

does a Neon atom emits specific frequencies of light that correspond to decreases in energy of its electrons.
zlopas [31]

Answer:

Yes, the frequency of light emitted is a property of the difference between the levels of energy of its electrons.

Explanation:

Neon atom is a noble gas which glows when its electrons de-excites after absorbing energy.

Niels Bohr postulated that the energy level in all atoms are quantized, thus electrons do not exist in-between two levels.  When electrons in the Neon atom are excited, this increase in energy causes them to jump to a higher energy levels. On de-excitation, the electrons drops to their initial level releasing the absorbed energy in the form of a photon.

The photon emitted has a frequency that is directly proportional to the energy change in the electron.

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

P= -1.83D

Explanation:

Given,

u=-6 m

v=-50 cm = - 0.5 m

the power of the lens

P = 1/f = 1/v = 1/u

P = 1/ -0.50 + 1/6

P = -1.83D
