The number of electrons with the number of protons in a charged object

1 answer:

7 0

All matter consist of a nucleus made up of protons and neutrons.The electron revolve around the nucleus in orbits(or shells).
An atom is electrically neutral because the number of electrons in an atom is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus,therefore the simplest atom of all is Hydrogen atom,which consists of one proton and one electron.

As an object falls freely near the surface of the earth, its velocity?

Vsevolod [243]

If it were possible for an object to fall freely near the surface of the Earth,

-- The direction of its velocity would always be "down"; that is, toward the center of the Earth.

-- The size of its velocity would continually increase, at the rate of 9.8 meters per second for every second it falls.

Two facing surfaces of two large parallel conducting plates separated by 8.5 cm have uniform surface charge densities such that

elena-s [515]

Answer:

positive plate

E = 5.764 KV / m

W = 490eV or 7.85 * 10^-17 J

E_p = 4.74 *10^(-12) eV

E_k = 490 eV

Explanation:

part a

The potential difference between two plates = 490 V

Distance between two plates = 8.5 cm

Answer: The positive plate is at higher potential because of convention.

part b

Electric Field between the plates

E = V / d

E = 490 / 0.085 = 5.764 KV / m

Answer: Electric Field between the plates E = 5.764 KV / m

part c

Work done by electric field

W = V*q

W = 490 * 1.602*10^-19

W = 7.85 * 10^-17 J

or W = 490 eV

Answer: Work done by electric field W = 490eV or 7.85 * 10^-17 J

part d

Potential Energy of an electron gained:

E_p = m_e * g * d / (1.602*10^-19)

E_p = 9.109*10^-31* 9.81 * 0.085 / (1.602*10^-19)

E_p = 4.74 *10^(-12) eV

Very very small E_p approximately 0

Answer: Potential Energy of an electron gained E_p = 4.74 *10^(-12) eV or 0.

part e

Kinetic Energy of an electron gained:

W - E_p = E_k

E_k = 490eV - 4.74*10^(-12)eV

E_k = 490 eV

Answer: Kinetic Energy of an electron gained E_k = 490 eV

Why it is difficult to run fast in sand

balu736 [363]

Running on sand requires 1.6 times more energy spent than running on hard surface, so the force applied by our foot on sand is less.

An electron follows a helical path in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 0.340 T. The pitch of the path is 6.00 µm, and the m

dedylja [7]

Answer:

The electron's speed is 34007.35 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Magnetic field, B = 0.34 T

Magnetic force on the electron, $F=1.85\times 10^{-15}\ N$

The electron follows a helical path. We have to find the speed of an electron. The formula for magnetic force is given by :

$F=B\times q\times v$

q = charge on an electron, $q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

v = velocity of an electron

$v=\dfrac{F}{Bq}$

$v=\dfrac{1.85\times 10^{-15}\ N}{0.34\ T\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C}$

v = 34007.35 m/s

Hence, this is the required solution.
