A positively charged particle of certain mass may be suspended (at rest) in electric field of suitable strength if the field is
1 answer:
If the electric field is directed d) upward
Explanation:
In order for a positively charged particle to be suspended at rest, the electric force due to the electric field must be
1) equal in magnitude, and
2) opposite in direction
to the force of gravity acting on the particle. Since the force of gravity acts downward, the electric force must be upward. The electric force on a charged particle is given by
where
q is the charge
E is the electric field
And the direction of the force is:
- The same as the electric field for a positive charge
- Opposite to the direction of the field for a negative charge
Here we have a positive charge, therefore the direction of the electric field must be the same as the direction of the force, therefore upward.

- The initial internal energy of the cup is
- The final internal energy of the cup is
According to the first law of thermodynamics:
where
Q is the heat absorbed by the system
W is the work done on the system
The work done on the system in this case is 0, so we can rewrite the equation as
And so we find the heat transferred
B) IN the cup
Explanation:
in this situation, we see that the internal energy of the cup increases. The internal energy of an object/substance is proportional to its temperature, so it is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules of the object/substance. Therefore, in this case, the temperature (and the energy of the molecules of the substance) has increased: this means that heat has been transferred INTO the system from the environment (the heat came from the sun).
Answer: Yes.
Explanation:
Oxygen has a bond order of two. The bond order of Oxygen molecule is calculated, where the [<em>eight valence electrons in bonding molecular orbitals</em> minus (-) <em>four valence electrons in antibonding molecular orbitals</em>]/2 in the electron configuration.
Atoms/molecules where electrons are paired are diamagnetic (repelled by both poles of a magnetic); while atoms/molecules that have one or more unpaired electrons are paramagnetic (attracted to magnetic field).
The two unpaired electrons of dioxygen molecules has made it <u>paramagnetic</u>. By pouring liquid oxygen between the poles of a strong magnet, the liquid stream will be contained by the filed and fills up the space between the poles.
