Answer: a = 1.32 * 10^18m/s² due north

Explanation: The magnitude of the force required to move the electron is given as

F = ma

The force exerted on the charge by the electric field of intensity (E) is given by

F = Eq

Thus

Eq = ma

a = E * q/ m

Where a = acceleration of charge

E = strength of electric field = 7400N/c

q = magnitude of electronic charge = 1.609 * 10^-6c

m = mass of an electronic charge = 9.109 * 10^-31kg

a = 7400 * 1.609 * 10^-16/ 9.109 * 10^-31

a = 11906.6 * 10^-16 / 9.019 * 10^-31

a = 1.19 * 10^-12 / 9.019 * 10^-31

a = 0.132 * 10^19

a = 1.32 * 10^18m/s²

As stated in the question, the direction of the electric field is due north hence, the direction of it force will also be north thus making the electron experience a force due north ( according to Newton second law of motion)

A projectile of mass 5 kg is fired with an initial speed of 176 m/s at an angle of 32◦ with the horizontal. At the top of its tr
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

v1 = 377.98 m/s

Explanation:

m = 5 Kg

v0 = 176 m/s

v0x = v0*Cos 32° = 176 m/s*Cos 32° = 149.256 m/s

m1 = 2 Kg

m2 = 3 Kg

t = 4.1 s

g = 9.81 m/s²

Before  the explosion

pix = m*v0x = 5 Kg*149.256 m/s = 746.282 Kgm/s

piy = 0

After the explosion

pfx = m1*v1x

knowing that pix = pfx

we have

746.282 = 2*v1x

v1x = 373.14 m/s

v2y = g*t

pfy = m1*v1y + m2*v2y

pfy = 2*v1y + 3*(9.81*4.1)

pfy = 2*v1y + 120.663

knowing that piy = pfy = 0

we have

0 = 2*v1y + 120.663

v1y = 60.33 m/s

Finally we apply

v1 = √(v1x² + v1y²)

v1 = √(373.14² + 60.33²)

v1 = 377.98 m/s

what is the difference between Earth's magnetic and geographic poles? how do navigators take advantage of this?
irinina [24]
-Geographic north and south poles are determined by the earth's spin.

-Magnetic north and south is determined by the direction a compass points.

Hope this helps,

Two thin concentric spherical shells of radii r1 and r2 (r1 < r2) contain uniform surface charge densities V1 and V2, respect
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

Solution:

We know that the Electric field inside the thin hollow shell is zero, if there is no charge inside it.

So,

a)  0 < r < r1 :

We know that the Electric field inside the thin hollow shell is zero, if there is no charge inside it.

Hence, E = 0 for r < r1

b)  r1 < r < r2:

Electric field =?

Let, us consider the Gaussian Surface,

E x 4 \pi r^{2}  = \frac{Q1}{E_{0} }

So,

Rearranging the above equation to get Electric field, we will get:

E = \frac{Q1}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2}   }

Multiply and divide by r1^{2}

E = \frac{Q1}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2}   } x \frac{r1^{2} }{r1^{2} }

Rearranging the above equation, we will get Electric Field for r1 < r < r2:

E= (σ1 x r1^{2}) /(E_{0} x r^{2})

c) r > r2 :

Electric Field = ?

E x 4 \pi r^{2}  = \frac{Q1 + Q2}{E_{0} }

Rearranging the above equation for E:

E = \frac{Q1+Q2}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2}   }

E = \frac{Q1}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2}   } + \frac{Q2}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2}   }

As we know from above, that:

\frac{Q1}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2}   } =  (σ1 x r1^{2}) /(E_{0} x r^{2})

Then, Similarly,

\frac{Q2}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2}   } = (σ2 x r2^{2}) /(E_{0} x r^{2})

So,

E = \frac{Q1}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2}   } + \frac{Q2}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2}   }

Replacing the above equations to get E:

E = (σ1 x r1^{2}) /(E_{0} x r^{2}) + (σ2 x r2^{2}) /(E_{0} x r^{2})

Now, for

d) Under what conditions,  E = 0, for r > r2?

For r > r2, E =0 if

σ1 x r1^{2} = - σ2 x r2^{2}

Paha777 [63]
A) The biggest astronomical object is the Universe, which contains billions of galaxies among which there is the Milky Way.
The Milky Way contains thousands of planetary systems, among which the Solar System.
The Solar System contains many <span>planets <span>(but only one star, the Sun)</span>,</span> among which there is Earth.
Therefore you can label:
A = Universe, B = Milky Way, C = Solar system, D = Earth

b) Given what we said before, you could label D also any other planet in the Solar System, therefore you can choose among Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

Who performed classic experiments that supported the semiconservative model of dna replication?
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Meselson and Stahl

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u></u>

The classic experiment that supported the semiconservative model of dna replication was performed by Matthew Meselson and Franklin W. Stahl. In this model, the two strands of DNA unwind from each other, and each acts as a template for synthesis of a new, complementary strand. This results in two DNA molecules with one original strand and one new strand. They used E. coli bacteria as a model system.
