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

How acceleration and gravitation (acceleration) are related/different?
mihalych1998 [28]
The source of acceleration (without gravity) is transfer of energy from one object to another or change of its own energy structure so that one of its components changes into increasing energy of motion.
But gravity occurs with no measurable energy transfer nor is the gravitating mass changing its energy structure in order to produce gravity.
If the cause of acceleration and gravity is not related at all is the Equivalence principle just a coincidence that the resulting effects are physically identical and indistinguishable

Ammonia enters the compressor of an industrial refrigeration plant at 2 bar, −10°C with a mass flow rate of 15 kg/min and is com
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

a) W=85.225 kW

b) 0.02\frac{kW}{K}

Explanation:

First, consider the energy balance for the compressor: The energy that enters to the system (W and enthalpy of the feed flow) is equal to the energy that goes out from it (Heat Q and enthalpy of the exit flow):

W+m*h_1=Q+m*h_2\\W=Q+m*(h_2-h_1)

Consider the enthalpy data from van Wylen 6th edition, Table B.2.2. According to that, h_1=h(200kPa,-10C)=1440.6\frac{kJ}{kgK},  h_2=h(1200kPa,140C)=1757.5\frac{kJ}{kgK}

So, the power input to the compressor is:

W=6kW+15\frac{kg}{min}*\frac{min}{60s}*(1757.5-1440.6)\frac{kJ}{kg}\\W=85.225kW

b) The differential entropy change dS for a reversible heat transfer dQ at a temperature T is:

dS=\frac{dQ}{T}

This equation can be integrated if the heat transfer surface temperature remains constant, which is the case, giving as a result:

S_2-S_1=\frac{Q}{T}=\frac{6kW}{300K}=0.02\frac{kW}{K}

A child with a weight of 230 N swings on a playground swing attached to 1.90 m long chains. What is the gravitational potential
nlexa [21]

Answer:

437 J

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Weight of child, W = 230 N

Height of swing, h = 1.9 m

Gravitational Potential Energy is given as:

P. E. = m*g*h = W*h

m = mass

h = height above the ground

W = weight

P. E. = 230 * 1.9

P. E. = 437 J

How could you increase electric force using each factor
NNADVOKAT [17]

Increasing the separation distance between objects decreases the force of attraction or repulsion between the objects. And decreasing the separation distance between objects increases the force of attraction or repulsion between the objects. Electrical forces are extremely sensitive to distance.
