A point charge q = -0.45 nC is fixed at the origin. Where must an electron be placed in order for the electric force acting on i

t to be exactly opposite to its weight? (Let the y axis be vertical with the positive direction pointing up.)

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

Why forces are balanced and unbalanced? need help with this the lesson is tommorow
Naya [18.7K]
"Balanced" means that if there's something pulling one way, then there's also
something else pulling the other way. 

-- If there's a kid sitting on one end of a see-saw, and another one with the
same weight sitting on the other end, then the see-saw is balanced, and
neither end goes up or down.  It's just as if there's nobody sitting on it.

-- If there's a tug-of-war going on, and there are 300 freshmen pulling on one
end of a rope, and another 300 freshmen pulling in the opposite direction on
the other end of the rope, then the hanky hanging from the middle of the rope
doesn't move.  The pulls on the rope are balanced, and it's just as if nobody
is pulling on it at all.

-- If a lady in the supermarket is pushing her shopping cart up the aisle, and her
two little kids are in front of the cart pushing it in the other direction, backwards,
toward her.  If the kids are strong enough, then the forces on the cart can be
balanced. Then the cart doesn't move at all, and it's just as if nobody is pushing
on it at all.

From these examples, you can see a few things:

-- There's no such thing as "a balanced force" or "an unbalanced force".
It's a <em><u>group</u> of forces</em> that is either balanced or unbalanced.

-- The group of forces is balanced if their strengths and directions are
just right so that each force is canceled out by one or more of the others.

-- When the group of forces on an object is balanced, then the effect on the
object is just as if there were no force on it at all.

Light is shone on a diffraction grating
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

    λ = 482.05 nm

Explanation:

The diffraction phenomenon and the diffraction grating is described by the expression

         d sin θ = m λ

where d is the distance between two consecutive slits, λ the wavelength and m an integer representing the order of diffraction

in this case they indicate the distance between slits, the angle and the order of diffraction

         λ = \frac{d sin \theta }{m}d sin θ / m

let's calculate

         λ = 1.00 10⁻⁶ sin 74.6 / 2

         λ = 4.82048 10⁻⁷ m

Let's reduce to nm

         λ = 4.82048 10⁻⁷ m (10⁹ nm / 1 m)

         λ = 482.05 nm

How would the magnetic field lines appear for a bar magnet cut at the midpoint, with the two pieces placed end to end with a spa
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

cutting the magnet in two parts each part has a North and South pole,

Explanation:

In magnetism the magnetic mono-poles are not found, this means that we do not have magnetic charges alone, therefore when cutting the magnet in two parts each part has a North and South pole, the magnetic lines go from the North pole to the South pole, see attached.

The density of the lines is approximately the intensity of the magnetic field.
