What is the overall charge of 1.5 x 10^10 electrons?
Troyanec [42]

Answer: Charge = -2.4x10^-9 Coulombs

Explanation:

The charge of one electron is e = -1.6x10^-19 C

Then, the charge of 1.5 x 10^10 electrons is equal to 1.5 x 10^10 times the charge of one electron:

Here i will use the relation (a^b)*(a^c) = a^(b + c)

Charge = ( 1.5 x 10^10)*( -1.6x10^-19 C) = -2.4x10^(10 - 19) C  

Charge = -2.4x10^-9 C

The mass of a moving object increases, but its speed stays the same. What happens to the kinetic energy of the object as a resul
ozzi
The correct answer is 
B It increases.

In fact, the kinetic energy of a moving object is given by
K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2
where m is the mass of the object and v is its speed. We see that the kinetic energy is proportional to the mass and proportional to the square of the speed: in this problem, the speed of the object remains the same, while its mass increases, therefore the kinetic energy will increase as well.

Alignment of charges at the surface of an object producing an individual charge:​
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

Alignment of charges at the surface of an object producing an induced charge is known as POLARIZATION

Explanation:

Polarization is a characteristic of certain electromagnetic radiations in which the direction and magnitude of the vibrating electric field are related in a specific way.

There are four types of Polarization which include

Electronic Polarization

Ionic Polarization

Orientation Polarization

Space Charge Polarization

A boy is standing motionless on a skateboard. He throws a basketball forward. Describe his motion.
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

Random motion

Explanation:

If the boy throws the basketball forward while at a position on the skateboard, the motion of the ball will be a random motion since we are not told if the ball is moving on a straight line when thrown forward.

In this case, the boy will tend to move in the direction of the ball. Since the ball is moving in a random manner, the motion of the boy will also be a random motion.

A random motion is a motion of a body in a zig zag manner. It is also known as Brownian motion e.g motion of a buzzing mosquito, motion of a smoke coming out of a chimney etc.

Your friend thinks that the escape speed should be greater for more massive objects than for less massive objects. Provide an ar
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

Concepts and Principles

1- Kinetic Energy: The kinetic energy of an object is:

K=1/2*m*v^2                                                         (1)  

where m is the object's mass and v is its speed relative to the chosen coordinate system.  

2- Gravitational potential energy of a system consisting of Earth and any object is:  

 U_g = -Gm_E*m_o/r*E-o                                   (2)  

where m_E is the mass of Earth (5.97x 10^24 kg), m_o is the mass of the object, and G = 6.67 x 10^-11 N m^2/kg^2 is Newton's gravitational constant.  

Solution  

The argument:  

My friend thinks that escape speed should be greater for more massive objects than for less massive objects because the gravitational pull on a more massive object is greater than the gravitational pull for a less massive object and therefore the more massive object needs more speed to escape this gravitational pull.  

The counterargument:  

We provide a mathematical counterargument. Consider a projectile of mass m, leaving the surface of a planet with escape speed v. The projectile has a kinetic energy K given by Equation (1):

K=1/2*m*v^2                                                         (1)  

and a gravitational potential energy Ug given by Equation (2):  

Ug = -G*Mm/R

where M is the mass of the planet and R is its radius. When the projectile reaches infinity, it stops and thus has no kinetic energy. It also has no potential energy because an infinite separation between two bodies is our zero-potential-energy configuration. Therefore, its total energy at infinity is zero. Applying the principle of energy consersation, we see that the total energy at the planet's surface must also have been zero:  

K+U=0  

1/2*m*v^2 + (-G*Mm/R) = 0

1/2*m*v^2 =  G*Mm/R

1/2*v^2 = G*M/R

solving for v we get

v = √2G*M/R

so we see v does not depend on the mass of the projectile
