Two balloons (m = 0.021 kg) are separated by a distance of d = 16 m. They are released from rest and observed to have an instant

evablogger [386]

(a) $2.56\cdot 10^{-5} C$

According to Newton's second law, the force experienced by each balloon is given by:

F = ma

where

m = 0.021 kg is the mass

a = 1.1 m/s^2 is the acceleration

Substituting, we found:

$F=(0.021)(1.1)=0.0231 N$

The electrostatic force between the two balloons can be also written as

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

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

Q is the charge on each balloon

r = 16 m is their separation

Since we know the value of F, we can find Q, the magnitude of the charge on each balloon:

$Q=\sqrt{\frac{Fr^2}{k}}=\sqrt{\frac{(0.0231)(16)^2}{9\cdot 10^9}}=2.56\cdot 10^{-5} C$

(b) $1.6\cdot 10^{14}$ electrons

The magnitude of the charge of one electron is

$e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C$

While the magnitude of the charge on one balloon is

$Q=2.56\cdot 10^{-5} C$

This charge can be written as

$Q=Ne$

where N is the number of electrons that are responsible for this charge. Solving for N, we find:

$N=\frac{Q}{e}=\frac{2.56\cdot 10^{-5}}{1.6\cdot 10^{-19}}=1.6\cdot 10^{14}$

The African and South American continents are separating at a rate of about 3 cm per year, according to the ideas of plate tecto

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

166 666 666.7 years

Explanation:

We start the question by making the units uniform. We are told that the continents move at 3 cm/year = 0.03 m/year.

We are also told that the continents are now 5000 km = 5 000 000 m apart

So to calculate the time it took for them to be this far apart

t = distance/speed

t = 5 000 000 m/(0.03 m/year) = 166 666 666.7 years

A proton that has a mass m and is moving at +164 m/s undergoes a head-on elastic collision with a stationary carbon nucleus of m

Irina18 [472]

The concept of this problem is the Law of Conservation of Momentum. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity. To obey the law, the momentum before and after collision should be equal:

m₁ v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₁v₁' + m₂v₂', where
m₁ and m₂ are the masses of the proton and the carbon nucleus, respectively,
v₁ and v₂ are the velocities of the proton and the carbon nucleus before collision, respectively,
v₁' and v₂' are the velocities of the proton and the carbon nucleus after collision, respectively,

m(164) + 12m(0) = mv₁' + 12mv₂'
164 = v₁' + 12v₂' --> equation 1

The second equation is the coefficient of restitution, e, which is equal to 1 for perfect collision. The equation is

(v₂' - v₁')/(v₁ - v₂) = 1
(v₂' - v₁')/(164 - 0) = 1
v₂' - v₁'=164 ---> equation 2

Solving equations 1 and 2 simultaneously, v₁' = -138.77 m/s and v₂' = +25.23 m/s. This means that after the collision, the proton bounced to the left at 138.77 m/s, while the stationary carbon nucleus move to the right at 25.23 m/s.

Sound with a frequency of 1250 Hz leaves a room through a doorway with a width of 1.05 m.At what minimum angle relative to the c

kiruha [24]

Answer:

15.19°, 31.61°, 51.84°

Explanation:

We need to fin the angle for m=1,2,3

We know that the expression for wavelenght is,

$\lambda = \frac{c}{f}$

Substituting,

$\lambda = \frac{344}{1250}$

$\lambda = 0.2752m$

Once we have the wavelenght we can find the angle by the equation of the single slit difraction,

$sin\theta = \frac{m \lambda}{W}$

Where,

W is the width

m is the integer

$\lambda$ the wavelenght

Re-arrange the expression,

$\theta = sin^{-1} \frac{m\lambda}{W}$

For m=1,

$\theta = sin^{-1} \frac{1 (0.2752)}{1.05}= 15.19\°$

For m=2,

$\theta = sin^{-1} \frac{2 (0.2752)}{1.05}= 31.61\°$

For m=3,

$\theta = sin^{-1} \frac{3 (0.2752)}{1.05}= 51.84\°$

<em>The angle of diffraction is directly proportional to the size of the wavelength.</em>
