Answer:

1st – Place the film canister on the scale.

2nd – Slide the large weight to the right until the arm drops below the line and then move it back one notch.

3rd – Repeat this process with the top weight. When the arm moves below the line, back it up one groove.

4th – Slide the small weight on the front beam until the lines match up.

5th – Add the amounts on each beam to find the total mass to the nearest tenth of a gram.

Explanation:

The triple beam balance is an instrument that is used in measuring the mass of substances to a very high degree of precision. The reading error is given by ±0.05 grams. The triple beam balance as the name implies has three beams that measure substances of different mass levels.

The beams are categorized as small, medium, and large. There is a balance on which the substance to be weighed is placed directly upon. To use this measuring device, the procedures mentioned above are followed.

In one of the classic nuclear physics experiments at the beginning of the 20th century, an alpha particle was accelerated toward

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

= 4.3 × 10 ⁻¹⁴ m

Explanation:

The alpha particle will be deflected when its kinetic energy is equal to the potential energy

Charge of the alpha particle q₁= 2 × 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C = 3.2 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

Charge of the gold nucleus q₂= 79 × 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ = 1.264 × 10⁻¹⁷C

Kinetic energy of the alpha particle = 5.28 × 10⁶ × 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ J ( 1 eV)

= 8.459 × 10⁻¹³

k electrostatic force constant = 9 × 10⁹ N.m²/c²

Kinetic energy = potential energy = k q₁q₂ / r where r is the closest distance the alpha particle got to the gold nucleus

r = ( 9 × 10⁹ N.m²/c² × 3.2 × 10⁻¹⁹ C × 1.264 × 10⁻¹⁷C) / 8.459 × 10⁻¹³

= 4.3 × 10 ⁻¹⁴ m

A circular loop of wire with a radius of 12.0 cm and oriented in the horizontal xy-plane is located in a region of uniform magne

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

The average induced emf is 29.06 V

Explanation:

Given;

radius of the circular loop, r = 12.0 cm = 0.12 m

magnetic field strength, B = 1.8 T

time interval = 2.8 ms = 0.0028 s

Area of the circular loop, A = πr² = π (0.12)² = 0.0452 m²

$e.m.f =\frac{BA}{t}$

where;

B is magnetic field

A is area

t is time

substitute the values given in the above equation to calculate the average emf that will be induced in the wire loop during the extraction process.

$e.m.f =\frac{1.8 *0.0452}{0.0028} = 29.06 \ V$

Therefore, the average induced emf is 29.06 V
