As we know that fundamental charge due to an electron is given by

$e = -1.6 \times 10^{-19} C$

so here we will say that charge on an atom due to loss of electron is termed as positive charge while due to gain of electron it is negative charge

Here when magnesium loses two electrons it will become positively charged

And total charge on it is given as

$Q = Ne$

now we know that

N = 2 electrons

so charge on it is given as

$Q = 2(1.6 \times 10^{-19}C)$

$Q = 3.2 \times 10^{-19} C$

Please help what is the definition ligthspeed

aev [14]

Light speed is the speed at which light can travel in a "vacuum" (space for example).

The speed of light is constant and is exactly: 299,792,458 meters per second

ONLY IN A VACUUM!!

The speed of light changes when it goes through different mediums (such as from space to Earth, light travels slower in Earth).

Good luck!

In a particle accelerator a positron (C= +1.6 x 10-19) travels through a perpendicular magnet field with a magnitude of 3.1 x 10-2 T. At what speed must the positron travel in order for it to experience a force of 4.75 x 10-14 N? 28.

Over [174]

The protons and electrons are held in place on the x axis.
The proton is at x = -d and the electron is at x = +d. They are released at the same time and the only force that affects movement is the electrostatic force that is applied on both subatomic particles. According to Newton's third law, the force Fpe exerted on protons by the electron is opposite in magnitude and direction to the force Fep exerted on the electron by the proton. That is, Fpe = - Fep. According to Newton's second law, this equation can be written as
Mp * ap = -Me * ae
where Mp and Me are the masses, and ap and ae are the accelerations of the proton and the electron, respectively. Since the mass of the electron is much smaller than the mass of the proton, in order for the equation above to hold, the acceleration of the electron at that moment must be considerably larger than the acceleration of the proton at that moment. Since electrons have much greater acceleration than protons, they achieve a faster rate than protons and therefore first reach the origin.

The equation r (t )=(2t + 4)⋅i + (√ 7 )t⋅ j + 3t ²⋅k the position of a particle in space at time t. Find the angle between the v

velikii [3]

Answer:

$\theta = n\pi/2, {\rm where~n~is~an~integer.}$

Explanation:

We should first find the velocity and acceleration functions. The velocity function is the derivative of the position function with respect to time, and the acceleration function is the derivative of the velocity function with respect to time.

$\vec{v}(t) = \frac{d\vec{r}(t)}{dt} = (2)\^i + (\sqrt{7})\^j + (6t)\^k$

Similarly,

$\vec{a}(t) = \frac{d\vec{v}(t)}{dt} = (6)\^k$

Now, the angle between velocity and acceleration vectors can be found.

The angle between any two vectors can be found by scalar product of them:

$\vec{A}.\vec{B} = |\vec{A}|.|\vec{B}|.\cos(\theta)$

So,

$\vec{v}(t).\vec{a}(t) = |\vec{v}(t)|.|\vec{a}(t)|.\cos(\theta)\\36t = \sqrt{4 + 7 + 36t^2}.6.\cos(\theta)$

At time t = 0, this equation becomes

$0 = 6\sqrt{11}\cos(\theta)\\\cos(\theta) = 0\\\theta = n\pi/2, {\rm where~n~is~an~integer.}$

You push against a steamer trunk with a force of 800 n at an angle alpha with the horizontal . the trunk is on a flat floor and

galina1969 [7]

The formula for this problem that we will be using is:
F * cos α = m * g * μs where:F = 800m = 87g = 9.8
cos α = m*g*μs/F= 87*9.8*0.55/800= 0.59 So solving the alpha, find the arccos above.
α = arccos 0.59 = 54 ° is the largest value of alpha
