the oxygen you breathe is made up of two oxygen atoms bound together why is oxygen molecule but not componud

1 answer:

3 0

Having more than one atom in its molecule doesn't make
a substance a compound. It's only a compound if it has
atoms of different elements in its molecule.

Both atoms in an Oxygen molecule are the same element ... Oxygen.

How does the electrical force relate to the charge of an object?

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

The electrical force is directly proportional to the charge

Explanation:

The electrical force between two object is directly proportional to the net charge on each object and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them

Two small identical conducting spheres are placed with their centers 0.41 m apart. One is given a charge of 12 ✕ 10−9 C, the oth

nataly862011 [7]

(a) $-1.48\cdot 10^{-5}N$

The electrostatic force exerted between the two sphere is given by:

$F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1, q2 are the charges on the two spheres

r is the separation between the centres of the two spheres

In this problem,

$q_1 = 12\cdot 10^{-9} C\\q_2 = -23\cdot 10^{-9} C\\r = 0.41 m$

Substituting these values into the equation, we find the force

$F=(9\cdot 10^9 Nm^2 C^{-2} )\frac{(12\cdot 10^{-9}C)(-23\cdot 10^{-9} C)}{(0.41 m)^2}=-1.48\cdot 10^{-5}N$

And the negative sign means the force is attractive, since the two spheres have charges of opposite sign.

(b) $+1.62\cdot 10^{-6}N$

The total net charge over the two sphere is:

$Q=q_1 +q_2 = 12\cdot 10^{-9}C+(-23\cdot 10^{-9}C)=-11\cdot 10^{-9} C$

When the two spheres are connected, the charge distribute equally over the two spheres (since they are identical, they have same capacitance), so each sphere will have a charge of

$q=\frac{Q}{2}=\frac{-11\cdot 10^{-9}C}{2}=-5.5\cdot 10^{-9}C$

So the electrostatic force between the two spheres will now be

$F=k\frac{q^2}{r^2}$

And substituting numbers, we find

$F=(9\cdot 10^9 Nm^2 C^{-2} )\frac{(-5.5\cdot 10^{-9} C)^2}{(0.41 m)^2}=+1.62\cdot 10^{-6}N$

and the positive sign means the force is repulsive, since the two spheres have same sign charges.
