Why might some rivers form canyons and other form valleys??

1 answer:

7 0

Valleys are one of the most common landforms on the Earth and they are formed through erosion or the gradual wearing down of the land by wind and water. In river valleys for example, the river acts as an erosional agent by grinding down the rock or soil and creating a valley

My Notes An electron is released from rest on the axis of a uniform positively charged ring, 0.500 m from the ring's center. If

dsp73

Answer:

Velocity of the electron = v = 1.2\times 10^8\ m/s.

Explanation:

Given,

Mass of the electron = $m_e\ =\ 9\times 10^{-31}\ kg$
Charge on the electron = $q_e\ =\ 1.62\times 10^{-19}\ C$
Charge density of the ring = $\rho\ =\ +1.00\times 10^{-6}\ C/m$
Radius of the ring = R = 0.70 m
Distance between the electron ant the center or the ring = x = 0.5 m

Now total charge on the ring = $Q\ =\ \rho\times 2\pi R$

Potential energy due to the charged ring to the point on the x-axis is

$P.E.\ =\ \dfrac{KQq_e}{\sqrt{R^2\ +\ x^2}}\\$

Let v be the velocity of the electron at the center of the ring.

Total kinetic energy of the electron = $\dfrac{1}{2}m_ev^2\\$

Now, From the conservation of energy,

the total potential energy of the electron at initially is converted to the total kinetic energy of the electron at the center of the ring,

$\therefore P.E.\ =\ K.E.\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{KQ}{\sqrt{R^2\ +\ x^2}}\ =\ \dfrac{1}{2}m_ev^2\\\Rightarrow v\ =\ sqrt{\dfrac{2 KQq_e}{m_e\sqrt{R^2\ +\ x^2}}}\\\Rightarrow v\ =\ \sqrt{\dfrac{2Kq_e\rho \times 2\pi R}{m_e\sqrt{R^2\ +\ x^2}}}\\\Rightarrow v\ =\ \sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 9\times 10^9\times 1.0\times 10^{-6}\times 2\times 3.14\times 0.7\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{9\times 10^{-31}\times \sqrt{0.7^2\ +\ 0.5^2}}}\\\Rightarrow v\ =\ 1.2\times 10^8\ m/s.$

Hence the velocity of the electron on the center of the charged ring is $1.2\times 10^8\ m/s.$

Lyrx [107]

Answer: Solid

Explanation: There are 3 major state of matter - solid, liquid and gas.

Among the 3 state, solid has a fixed volume while liquid takes the volume of its container. When gas is compressed, it takes the volume of its container likewise.

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

a) the charge of an electron is equivalent to the magnitude of the elementary charge but barring a negative sign since the side of the elementary charge is roughly 1.602 * 10 - 19 Columbus then the charge of the electronic is-1.602 * 10 - 19

b) b=2T on the electron moving in the magnetic field

On a sunny summer day, why does a white car with a light-colored interior stay cooler than a black car with a dark-colored inter

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer: Solar radiation reflects off the lighter colours, away from the car, thus keeping the car cool

Explanation: This is because lighter colors reflect a good amount of radiation while darker colors absorb it. Just like, Antarctica hasn't completely melted because it reflects a lot of the heat that is acting upon it. Or, you notice that you get hotter when you wear a black shirt opposed to a white one.
