3. Suppose that you have an electrically charged stick. If you divide the stick in half, each half will have half the original c

harge. If you split each of these halves, each piece will have a quarter of the original charge. Can you keep on dividing the charge in this manner forever? If not, why not?

Answer:

No, you can't keep on dividing the charge forever.

Explanation:

No, you can't keep on dividing the charge in that manner forever because the total charge of the stick is an integer multiples of individual units known as an elementary charge, <em>which is the electron (e) charge (e = 1.602x10⁻¹⁹C)</em>.

Therefore the limit of the division of the original charge will be the electron charge since it is the smallest charge that can exist freely.  

I hope it helps you!

saveliy_v [14]
The spectrum of light from the moon should very strongly resemble the spectrum of sunlight. The reason is that any light from the moon started out from the sun. Any difference in their spectra is only due to the moon absorbing more of some wavelengths and less of others. But since the moon appears colorless gray, we don't expect any particular colors to be strongly absorbed, otherwise the moon would look to be the colors of the light that's left.

What is the Gravitational Potential Energy of a 30 kg box lifted 1.5 meters off the ground?
juin [17]

Answer:

<h2>441 J</h2>

Explanation:

The potential energy of a body can be found by using the formula

PE = mgh

where

m is the mass

h is the height

g is the acceleration due to gravity which is 9.8 m/s²

From the question we have

PE = 30 × 9.8 × 1.5

We have the final answer as

<h3>441 J</h3>

Hope this helps you
