1. Determine the magnitude of two equal but opposite charges if they attract one another with a force of 0.7N when at distance o
adell [148]

Answer:

q = 2.65 10⁻⁶ C

Explanation:

For this exercise we use Coulomb's law

        F =k \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

In this case they indicate that the load is of equal magnitude

       q₁ = q₂ = q

the force is attractive because the signs of the charges are opposite

       F = k \ \frac{q^2}{r^2}

       q = \sqrt{\frac{F \ r^2}{k} }

we calculate

        q = \sqrt{\frac{0.7 \ 0.3^2 }{9 \ 10^9}  }

        q = \sqrt{7 \ 10^{-12} }Ra 7 10-12

        q = 2.65 10⁻⁶ C

A 0.547 kg pizza is thrown straight up in the air. At a height of 2.30 m above the surface of the earth it has a speed of 5.00 m
natima [27]

Answer:

The total mechanical energy of the pizza crust is 19.2 J.

Explanation:

Mechanical energy is that which a body or a system obtains as a result of the speed of its movement or its specific position, and which is capable of producing mechanical work. Then:

Potential energy + kinetic energy = total mechanical energy

Kinetic energy is a form of energy. It is defined as the energy associated with bodies that are in motion and this energy depends on the mass and speed of the body.

Kinetic energy is defined as the amount of work necessary to accelerate a body of a certain mass and in a position of rest, until it reaches a certain speed.

Kinetic energy is represented by the following formula:

Ec = ½ *m*v²

Where Ec is kinetic energy, which is measured in Joules (J), m is mass measured in kilograms (kg), and v is velocity measured in meters over seconds (m / s).

In this case:

  • m=0.547 kg
  • v= 5 m/s

Replacing:

Ec = ½ *0.547 kg*(5 m/s)²

and solving you get:

Ec= 6.8375 J

On the other hand, potential energy is the energy that measures the ability of a system to perform work based on its position. In other words, this is the energy that a body has at a certain height above the ground.

Gravitational potential energy is the energy associated with the gravitational force. This will depend on the relative height of an object to some reference point, the mass, and the force of gravity. Then for an object with mass m, at height h, the expression applied to the gravitational energy of the object is:

Ep = m*g*h

Where Ep is the potential energy in joules (J), m is the mass in kilograms (kg) is h the height in meters (m) and g is the acceleration of fall in m / s² (approximately 9.81 m/s²)

In this case:

  • m= 0.547 kg
  • g= 9.81 m/s²
  • h= 2.30 m

Replacing

Ep= 0.547 kg *9.81 m/s²* 2.30 m

and solving you get:

Ep= 12.342 J

So:

Total mechanical energy= 12.342 J + 6.8375 J

Total mechanical energy= 19.1795 J≅ 19.2 J

<u><em>The total mechanical energy of the pizza crust is 19.2 J.</em></u>

Consider an experiment in which slow neutrons of momentum ¯hk are scattered by a diatomic molecule; suppose that the molecule is
madreJ [45]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

When we have an object in periodic motion, the amplitude will be the maximum displacement from equilibrium. Take for example, when there’s a back and forth movement of a pendulum through its equilibrium point (straight down), then swings to a highest distance away from the center. This distance will be represented as the amplitude, A. The full range of the pendulum has a magnitude of 2A.

position = amplitude x sine function(angular frequency x time + phase difference)

x = A sin(ωt + ϕ)

x = displacement (m)

A = amplitude (m)

ω = angular frequency (radians/s)

t = time (s)

ϕ = phase shift (radians)

Kindly check the attached image below to see the step by step explanation to the question above.

The eyes of some reptiles are sensitive to 850 nm light. If the minimum energy to trigger the receptor at this wavelength is 3.1
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

Minimum number of photons required is 1.35 x 10⁵

Explanation:

Given:

Wavelength of the light, λ = 850 nm = 850 x 10⁻⁹ m

Energy of one photon is given by the relation :

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}    ....(1)

Here h is Planck's constant and c is speed of light.

Let N be the minimum number of photons needed for triggering receptor.

Minimum energy required for triggering receptor, E₁ = 3.15 x 10⁻¹⁴ J

According to the problem, energy of N number of photons is equal to the energy required for triggering, that is,

E₁ = N x E

Put equation (1) in the above equation.

E_{1}=N\times\frac{hc}{\lambda}

Substitute 3.15 x 10⁻¹⁴ J for E₁, 850 x 10⁻⁹ m for λ, 6.6 x 10⁻³⁴ J s for h and 3 x 10⁸ m/s for c in the above equation.

3.15\times10^{-14} =N\times\frac{6.6\times10^{-34}\times3\times10^{8}}{850\times10^{-9}}

N = 1.35 x 10⁵
