Answer:

a)E=2.88*10^{11}N/C

b)E=1.44*10^{11}N/C

c)F=4.61*10^{-8}N

Explanation:

We use the definition of a electric field produced by a point charge:

E=k*q/r^2

<u>a)Electric Field  due to the alpha particle:</u>

E=k*q_{alpha}/r^2=9*10^9*3.2*10^{-19}/(10^{-10})^2=2.88*10^{11}N/C

<u>b)Electric Field  due to electron:</u>

E=k*q_{electron}/r^2=9*10^9*1.6*10^{-19}/(10^{-10})^2=1.44*10^{11}N/C

<u>c)Electric Force on the alpha particle, on the electron:</u>

The alpha particle and electron feel the same force but with opposite direction:

F=k*q_{electron}*q_{alpha}/r^2=9*10^9*1.6*10^{-19}*3.2*10^{-19}/(10^{-10})^2=4.61*10^{-8}N

In a concave mirror parallel rays falling on it convergs at
ella [17]

Answer:

1) In a concave mirror parallel rays falling on it converges at F and 2F.

Explanation:

Spherical mirrors can be used for magnification of images. There are basically two types of spherical mirrors and they are converging mirror and diverging mirrors. The converging mirrors are also termed as concave mirrors and its basic work is to converge or combine light rays coming from a larger distance to a single point. Mostly the light beams falling parallel to the principle axis of the concave mirror will be acting as parallel rays. And when these parallel rays fall on the mirror, the converging point can be the focal point of the mirror.

Thus the location of converging point in concave mirrors will be based on the position or distance of object from the mirror. If the object distance is very far from the twice the focal length distance of mirror, then the converging point will be the focal point or F. And if the object is placed slightly greater than twice the distance of focal point, then the image will be obtained at 2F. But the parallel beams will be converging at F and 2F.

Two water jets are emerging from a vessel at a height of 50 centimeters and 100 centimeters. If their horizontal velocities at t
givi [52]
For t1:

t1 = square root of 2h1 / g = square root of 2 * 0.5 / 9.8 = 0.319 sec

For t2:

t2 = sqaure root of 2h2 / g = square root of 2 * 1.0 / 9.8 = 0.451 sec

Wherein:
t = time(s) for the vertical movement
h= height
g = gravity (using the standard 9.8 m/sec measurement)

d1 = 1*0.319 = 0.319 m
d2 = 0.5 * 0.451 = 0.225 m

Where:

d = hor. distance

ratio = d1:d2
= 0.319 : 0.225
=3.19 : 2.25

The answer is 3.19 : 2.25
