Two small tiny conducting spheres, both initially having no charge, are brought into contact and given a total charge of 5.00x10

^4 electrons. The spheres are then pulled apart until their centers are 12.0 cm apart. Assume the total number of electrons on the spheres remained the same as they were separated. a) what is the magnitude of the force that each sphere exerts on the other? b) Is the force attractive or repulsive?

Answer:

(A) 10^{-17}N

(B) Repulsive force

Explanation:

We have given total charge on both spheres =5\times 10^4electron

Charge on 1 electron =1.6\times 10^{-19}C

So total charge =5\times 10^4\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}=8\times 10^{-15}C

Charge on both the sphere will be equally distributed

So charge on individual sphere =\frac{8\times 10^{15}C}{2}=4\times 10^{1-5}C

Distance between both the spheres = 12 cm = 0.12 m

According to coulombs law force between two charges is given by F=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon _0}\frac{Q_1Q_2}{R^2}=\frac{KQ^2}{R^2}=\frac{9\times 10^9\times (4\times 10^{-15})^2}{0.12^2}=10^{-17}N

(B) As the charge on both the sphere is of same sign so force will be repulsive

The energy band gap of GaAs is 1.4eV. calculate the optimum wavelength of light for photovoltaic generation in a GaAs solar cell
Viktor [21]

Answer:

λ = 8.88 x 10⁻⁷ m = 888 nm

Explanation:

The energy band gap is given as:

Energy Gap = E = 1.4 eV

Converting this to Joules (J)

E = (1.4 eV)(1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J/1 eV)

E = 2.24 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

The energy required for photovoltaic generation is given as:

E = hc/λ

where,

h = Plank's Constant = 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

λ = wavelength of light = ?

Therefore,

2.24 x 10⁻¹⁹ J = (6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/λ

λ = (6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(2.24 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)

<u>λ = 8.88 x 10⁻⁷ m = 888 nm</u>

In 1909, galileo first looked at the milky way using very powerful binoculars
anastassius [24]
<span>Galileo first studied the Milky Way through his telescope in January, 1610 not 1909. Until his observations, the Milky Way was thought to be a band of wispy whitish clouds passing through the heavens. To Galileo's amazement, instead of seeing just a nebula (the Greek work for cloud) the milky wisps resolved into innumerable tiny stars, so crowded together that, without the aid of a telescope, the light from those stars simply blended together. </span>

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

change of momentum does not depend on the mass of the cars, as the force and time are the same all vehicles have the same change of momentum

Explanation:

Let's look for the speed of the car

     F = m a

    a = F / m

We use kinematics to find lips

    v = v₀ + a t

    v = v₀ + (F / m) t

The moment is defined by

    p = m v

The moment change

    Δp = m v - m v₀

Let's replace the speeds in this equation

    Δp = m (v₀ + F / m t) - m v₀

    Δp = m v₀  + F t - m v₀  

    Δp = F t

We see that the change of momentum does not depend on the mass of the cars, as the force and time are the same all vehicles have the same change of momentum
