The electric force between electric charges is much larger than the gravitational force between the charges. Why, then, is the g

Answer:

Explanation:

The electric force between charges is much larger than the gravitational force but Gravitational force between earth and moon is dominant over Electric force because earth and moon are the electrically neutral body.

Electrically neutral bodies are those bodies that contain equal no of electron and proton in the body.

An example of electrically neutral bodies is a neutron.

Choose the best description of the attraction between you and your classmate.
Lerok [7]

Answer:

The correct option is;

D. There is not enough information to answer this question

Explanation:

The universal gravitational constant = 6.67408 × 10⁻¹¹ 3³/(kg·s²)

For an in between distance of 1 m and equal masses of 60 kg, we have;

F = G \times \dfrac{m_{1}  \times m_{2}}{r^{2}} = 6.67408 \times 10^{-11}  \times \dfrac{60 \times 60}{1^{2}}  \approx  2.403 \times 10^{-7} N

The gravitational attraction ≈ 2.403 × 10⁻⁷ N, which does not correspond with the answers, therefore, the best option is that there is not enough information to answer this question.

melomori [17]

Answer:

a=0.0947mm

Explanation:

Given data

λ=680nm

L=5.5m

ω=7.9cm=0.079m

To find

Width of slit a

Solution

As the single slit of width a has a bright central maximum of width:

ω=2λL/a

a=2λL/ω

Substitute the given values

So

a=\frac{2*680*10^{-9}m*5.5m}{0.079m} \\a=9.47*10^{-5}m\\or\\a=0.0947mm

An oil drop with a mass of 8.3 grams and a charge of + 2.2 mC is floating 7.68 meters above a positively charged floor. What is
Alina [70]

Answer:

Correct answer:  Q = 0.247 μC

Explanation:

Since the oil drop floats, this means that the weight of the drop and the Coulomb force are equal.

F = m · g   drop's weight

Fc = k q Q / r² Coulomb force

where it was given:

k = 9 · 10⁹ N m²/C² dielectric constant,

q = 2.2 mC = 2.2 · 10⁻³ C drop's charge,

Q -   floor's charge,

r = 7.68 m distance between drop and floor

m = 8.3 grams = 8.3 · 10⁻³ kg drop's weight

and  g = 10 m/s²

F = Fc  ⇒ k q Q / r² = m · g ⇒ Q = m · g · r²/ k · q

Q = 8.3 · 10⁻³ · 10 · 7.68² / 9 · 10⁹ · 2.2 · 10⁻³

Q = 24.72 · 10⁻⁸ C = 0.2472 · 10⁻⁶ C = 0.2472 μC

Q = 0.247 μC

A 5 cm length of wire carries a current of 3 A in the positive z direction. The force on this wire due to a magnetic field vecto
ioda

Answer:

B = 4/3 ( i + j + k )

Explanation:

I = 3 k

L = 5 x 10⁻² m

F = - 0.2 i + 0.2 j

Let magnetic field be B

B = B₁ i + B₂ j + B₃ k

F = L ( I x B )

= 5 x 10⁻² 3 k x ( B₁ i + B₂ j + B₃ k )

=   15 x 10⁻² B₁ j  -   15 x 10⁻² B₂ i

Given

F = - 0.2 i + 0.2 j

equating equal terms

15 x 10⁻² B₂ = .2

15 x 10⁻² B₁ =  .2

B₁ = .02 / 15 x 10⁻² = 20 / 15 N

B₂ = .02 / 15 x 10⁻² = 20 / 15 N

Now wire is rotated so that current flows in positive x direction

I = 3 i

F = . 2 k

F = L ( I x B )

= 5 x 10⁻² x 3 i  x ( B₁ i + B₂ j + B₃ k )

= 15 x 10⁻² B₃ k

15 x 10⁻² B₃ = .2

B₃ = .2 /15 x 10⁻²

B₃ = 20 /15

B = B₁ i + B₂ j + B₃ k

20 /15 9 ( i + j + k )

B = 4/3 ( i + j + k )
