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

# A cheetah can start from rest and attain the velocity 72km/h in 2 seconds. Calculate the acceleration of cheetah
yan [13]

Answer:

<h2>10 \: m/s ^2</h2><h2 />

Explanation:

Solution,

When a certain object comes in motion from rest, in the case, initial velocity = 0 m/s

Initial velocity ( u ) = 0 m/s

Final velocity ( v ) = 72 km/h ( Given)

We have to convert 72 km /h in m/s

72 \: km \: per \: hour

= 72 \times  \frac{1000}{60  \times 60}

= 20 m/s

Final velocity ( v ) = 20 m/s

Time taken ( t ) = 2 seconds

Acceleration (a) = ?

Now,

we have,

a =  \frac{v - u}{t}

a =  \frac{20 - 0}{2}

a =  \frac{20}{2}

a = 10 m/s ^2

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment..

The shifting of the observed wavelength of light due to the motion of the source toward or away from the observer is called the
alexdok [17]

Answer:

doppler effect

Explanation:

When the relative motion of two bodies results in the wavelength becoming shorter this means that the bodies are getting closer. This is known as blue shift.

When the relative motion of two bodies results in the wavelength becoming longer this means that the bodies are getting farther. This is known as red shift.

Collectively this phenomenon is known as the Doppler effect.
