Consider an electron and a proton separated by a distance of 4.5 nm. (a) what is the magnitude of the gravitational force betwee
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
A.) For letter a, we use the law of universal gravitation using the constant G = 6.674×10−<span>11 m3</span>⋅kg−1⋅s−<span>2

Grav. F = G*m1*m2*(1/d^2)

m1 is mass of electron = </span>9.11 × 10-31<span> kg
m2 is mass of proton = </span>1.67 × 10<span>-27 kg
d = 4.5 nm = 4.5 x 10^-9 m

Grav F = 5.01 x 10^-51 N

b.) </span>For letter b, we use the Coulomb's using the constant k = 9×10^9 N

Electric force = k*Q1*Q2*(1/d^2)
Q1 is charge of electron = -1.6 × 10-19 C
Q2 is charge of proton = +1.6 × 10-19 C

Electric force = 1.14 x 10^-11 N

16. When a plastic rod is rubbed with fur, the rod will become negatively charged. Which of the following best explains how this
romanna [79]

Answer:

B. Electrons are transferred from the fur to the plastic rod.

Explanation:

Triboelectricity or friction charging refers to the ability of materials to gain or lose electrons as a result of rubbing them against something. This phenomenon has been observed in the case of rubbing plastic rod against fur, or glass rod against silk.

In the context of rubbing plastic rod against fur, what happens is that the fur which has an excess of charges loses electrons to the plastic rod. This makes the plastic rod to become positively charged, and the fur, negatively charged.

Your aunt just turned 50 and now needs glasses to read.
alexira [117]

Answer:

(a) hypermetropia

(b) convex lens

(c) 133.33 cm

(d) - 21.05 cm

Explanation:

(a) As she is old age, so she is suffering from hypermetropia.

(b) It is the defect due to which a person is not able to see the nearby objects clearly, so it is cured by convex lens of suitable focal length.

(c) Power, P = + 0.75 D

Focal length is the reciprocal of power of lens.

f = 1/ P = 1/0.75

f = 133.33 cm

(d) v = -25 cm, f = 133.3 cm

use lens equation

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u}

\frac{1}{133.3}=\frac{-1}{25}-\frac{1}{u}

\frac{-1}{u}=\frac{133.33+25}{133.33\times25}

u = - 21.05 cm

Different betweenof mass and weight​
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

The differences are:

Mass:

1) It is the total amount of matter contained in a body.

2) It's SI unit is kilogram (kg).

3) It's measured by using beam balance

Weight:

1) It is the force which pulls an object towards the center of the earth.

2) It's SI unit is newton(n).

3) It's measured by using spring balance.

Nets used to catch falling boulders on the side of rocky hillside roadways
Natalija [7]

Answer:

more time to change the momentum of falling rocks

Explanation:

Momentum is related to "mass in motion." So, if an object is moving, then it has momentum as it has its mass in motion. The amount of momentum is dependent upon how much and how fast the object is moving.

If an object is moving slowly, it means that the object is losing momentum.

Nets used to catch falling boulders on the side of rocky hillside roadways  are more effective than rigid fences because their breakage is reduced by more time to change the momentum of falling rocks.
