Suppose that you had an electrically charged stick. If you divided the stick in half, each half would have half the original cha

rge. If you split each of these halves, each piece would have a quarter of the original charge. Can you keep on dividing the charge in this manner forever? If not, why not?

4 0

Answer:

No

Explanation:

No, because charge is quantized.

Electric charge is quantized, meaning that it occurs in discrete units.

So it can't continue to be divided, every accumulation of charge is an even multiple of this number (e=1.609×10^-19), and fractional charges cannot exist.

Name the characteristics of electro magnetic waves that i) increases ii) remains constant in the electromagneticspectrum as one
Paul [167]

As we move from Radiowaves to UV waves in electromagnetic spectrum we know that the wavelength is maximum for radio waves while its frequency is minimum

PART (i)

So as we move from radiowaves to UV region

the Frequency will increase

Part (ii)

As we move from Radiowaves to UV region all the parts must have same speed in same medium

All parts will move with speed of light

so Speed will remain the same

A particle is confined to a one-dimensional box that is 50 pm long. What is the smallest possible uncertainty in momentum for th
nevsk [136]

Answer:

The smallest possibility is 0.01E-22kgm/s

Explanation:

Using

Momentum= h/4πx

= 6.6x 10^-34Js/ 4(3.142* 50*10-12m)

= 0.01*10^-22kgm/s

Stars are called blackbody radiators because they
scoundrel [369]
The answer is D) absorb most of the light that falls on them

A blackbody is an object that absorbs most (theoretically all) of the light that falls on it. Stars are called black bodies because they demonstrate something close to this property. Why do they appear white and not black? As black body radiators heat up, they slowly turn from black to grey to white, according to the human eye. Since stars are incredibly hot, they appear white to us.

There are two blocks: one large one initially at rest, and a smaller one, initially moving to the right withsome speed. The smal
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the initial velocity of small block be v .

by applying conservation of momentum we can find velocity of common mass

25 v = 75 V , V is velocity of common mass after collision.

V = v / 3

For reaching the height we shall apply conservation of mechanical energy

1/2 m v² = mgh

1/2  x 75 x V² = 75 x g x 10

V² = 2g x 10

v² / 9 = 2 x 9.8 x 10

v² = 9 x 2 x 9.8 x 10

v = 42 m /s

small block must have velocity of 42 m /s .

Impulse by small block on large block

= change in momentum of large block

= 75 x V

= 75  x 42 / 3

= 1050 Ns.

A boxer can hit a heavy bag with great force. Why can't he hit a piece of tissue paper in midair with the same amount of force?
12345 [234]

Answer:

This is due to impulse

Explanation:

Impulse equal to mΔv and FΔt

You can set these equal as mΔv = FΔt

When a boxer punches a tissue, it is like punching a cushion or a pillow. The time that the hit takes is much grater than if they were to hit something solid. In addition, the change in velocity of the boxer's arm would be much greater when they hit a punching bag. In this equation, the greater the time, the less force that is needed.
