Answer:

Electron must be placed at a distance of 2.69 ×10^5 m in the direction of positive y-axis.

Explanation:

Charge on electron = e = -1.6 × 10^-19 C

Mass of electron = m = 9.1 × 10^-31 kg

Charge at origin = q = -0.45 nC  

According to given condition in the question:

                       Fe = Fg

                   kq1q2/r^2 = mg  

(9 × 10^9)( -1.6 × 10^-19)( -0.45n)/r^2 = (9.1 × 10^-31)(9.8)

                    r = √7.2 ×10^10

                    r = 2.69 ×10^5 m      in the positive y-axis direction

What is the maximum mass that can hang without sinking from a 20-cm diameter Styrofoam sphere in water? Assume the volume of the
alex41 [277]

Answer:

the maximum mass that can hang without sinking is 2.93 kg

Explanation:

Given: details:

sphere diameter  d = 20 cm

so, radius r = 10 cm  = 0.10 m

density of the Styrofoam sphere D = 300 kg/m3

sphere volume  V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3

                                                   =\frac{4}{3} \pi 0.10^3

                                                   =4.18*10^{-3} m^3

we know that

Density = \frac{Mass}{Volume}

mass  M = Density * Volume

                                  = (300)(4.18*10^{-3} m3)

                                  =1.25 kg

mass of the water displace = volume *density  of water

                                                 = 4.18*10^{-3} m3 * 1000

                                                 = 4.18 kg

The difference between the mass of water and mass of styrofoam is the amount of mass that the sphere can support

=4.18 kg  -1.25 kg

= 2.93 kg

A ball is launched from ground level and hits the ground again after an elapsed time of 4 seconds and after traveling a horizont
jeka94

Answer:

1)a. It is constant the whole time the ball is in free-fall.

2)b. = 14 m/s

3) e. = 19.6 m/s

Explanation:

1) given that the only force acting on the ball is gravity, gravity acts along the vertical axis. Since no other force acts on the ball then the horizontal velocity will remain constant all through the flight since there is no horizontal force acting on the ball.

2) speed = distance/time

horizontal distance = 56m

Time = 4 seconds

Speed = 56m/4s = 14m/s

3) acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8m/s^2

Initial vertical velocity = u

Final vertical velocity = v = -u

Using the law of motion;

v = u + at

a = acceleration = -g = -9.8m/s^2

t = time of flight = 4

Substituting the values;

-u = u - 4(9.8)

-2u = -4(9.8)

u = -4(9.8)/-2

u = 2(9.8) = 19.6 m/s

Initial vertical velocity = u = 19.6 m/s

In which one of the following situations is zero net work done? A) A ball rolls down an inclined plane. B) A physics student str
lidiya [134]

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

The work done can be given by the mechanical energy used to do work, i.e., Kinetic energy and potential energy provided to do the work.

In all the cases, except option D, the energy provided to do the useful work is not zero and hence work done is not zero.  

In option D, the box is being pulled with constant velocity, making the acceleration zero and thus Kinetic energy of the system is zero. Hence work done in this case is zero.
