<span>Electromagnetic waves differ fundamentally from either water or sound waves because they does not require any medium, they can travel in free space (vacuum)

Hope this helps!</span>

A particle with charge q = 10-9 C and mass m = 5.0 x 10-9 kg is moving in a magnetic field whose magnitude is 0.003 T. The speed

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

a=0.212 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that

q= 10⁻⁹ C

m = 5 x 10⁻⁹ kg

Magnetic filed ,B= 0.003 T

Speed ,V= 500 m/s

θ= 45°

Lets take acceleration of the mass is a m/s²

The force on the charge due to magnetic filed B

F= q V B sinθ

Also F= m a ( from Newton's law)

By balancing these above two forces

m a= q V B sinθ

$a=\dfrac{qVB\ sin\theta}{m}$

$a=\dfrac{10^{-9}\times 500\times 0.003\times\ sin45^{\circ}}{5\times 10^{-9}}\ m/s^2$

$a=\dfrac{10^{-9}\times 500\times 0.003\times\dfrac{1}{\sqrt2}}{5\times 10^{-9}}\ m/s^2$

a=0.212 m/s²

Explain why materials such as plastic foam, feathers, and fur are poor conductors of heat.

Firlakuza [10]

The atoms of some materials have no free electrons in their outer orbits. These electrons are busy doing other jobs, like being shared in the orbits of two adjacent atoms. They are so closely held that it is very difficult to pull them away. Most compounds of carbon and hydrogen are like this.

<span>Plastics, whose molecules are made from long combinations of carbon and hydrogen atoms, have few or no free electrons. This means that plastics are poor conductors of electricity (and they are also poor conductors of heat). hope that helped.</span>

Atomic physicists usually ignore the effect of gravity within an atom. To see why, we may calculate and compare the magnitude of

STatiana [176]

Answer:

$2.27\cdot 10^{49}$

Explanation:

The gravitational force between the proton and the electron is given by

$F_G=G\frac{m_p m_e}{r^2}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

$m_p$ is the proton mass

$m_e$ is the electron mass

r = 3 m is the distance between the proton and the electron

Substituting numbers into the equation,

$F_G=(6.67259\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg s^{-2})\frac{(1.67262\cdot 10^{-27}kg) (9.10939\cdot 10^{-31}kg)}{(3 m)^2}=1.13\cdot 10^{-68}N$

The electrical force between the proton and the electron is given by

$F_E=k\frac{q_p q_e}{r^2}$

where

k is the Coulomb constant

$q_p = q_e = q$ is the elementary charge (charge of the proton and of the electron)

r = 3 m is the distance between the proton and the electron

Substituting numbers into the equation,

$F_E=(8.98755\cdot 10^9 Nm^2 C^{-2})\frac{(1.602\cdot 10^{-19}C)^2}{(3 m)^2}=2.56\cdot 10^{-19}N$

So, the ratio of the electrical force to the gravitational force is

$\frac{F_E}{F_G}=\frac{2.56\cdot 10^{-19} N}{1.13\cdot 10^{-68}N}=2.27\cdot 10^{49}$

So, we see that the electrical force is much larger than the gravitational force.

In order to waken a sleeping child, the volume on an alarm clock is doubled. Under this new scenario, how much more energy will

Kamila [148]

Answer:4 times more energy will be striking the childbearing

Explanation:

Because Volume is directly proportional to amplitude of sound. Energy is proportional to amplitude squared. If you triple the amplitude, you multiply the energy by 4

The temperature of the liquid in a container decreases as the liquid evaporates. Use kinetic theory to explain why.

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

Temperature decreases because the number of collision of the molecules decreases as they escape or evaporate. Molecules are in constant motion. Increase in temperature leads to increase in average kinetic energy of the molecules.
