Answer:

q=1.95*10^{-7}C

Explanation:

According to the free-body diagram of the system, we have:

\sum F_y: Tcos(15^\circ)-mg=0(1)\\\sum F_x: Tsin(15^\circ)-F_e=0(2)

So, we can solve for T from (1):

T=\frac{mg}{cos(15^\circ)}(3)

Replacing (3) in (2):

(\frac{mg}{cos(15^\circ)})sin(15^\circ)=F_e

The electric force (F_e) is given by the Coulomb's law. Recall that the charge q is the same in both spheres:

(\frac{mg}{cos(15^\circ)})sin(15^\circ)=\frac{kq^2}{r^2}(4)

According to pythagoras theorem, the distance of separation (r) of the spheres are given by:

sin(15^\circ)=\frac{\frac{r}{2}}{L}\\r=2Lsin(15^\circ)(5)

Finally, we replace (5) in (4) and solving for q:

mgtan(15^\circ)=\frac{kq^2}{(2Lsin(15^\circ))^2}\\q=\sqrt{\frac{mgtan(15^\circ)(2Lsin(15^\circ))^2}{k}}\\q=\sqrt{\frac{10*10^{-3}kg(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})tan(15^\circ)(2(0.22m)sin(15^\circ))^2}{8.98*10^{9}\frac{N\cdot m^2}{C^2}}}\\q=1.95*10^{-7}C

Answer:

3 photons

Explanation:

The energy of a photon E can be calculated using this formula:

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

Where h corresponds to Plank constant (6.626070x10^-34Js), c is the speed of light in the vacuum (299792458m/s) and \lambda is the wavelength of the photon(in this case 800nm).

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}=\frac{(6.626070\times10^{-34})(299792458)}{800\times10^{-9}}=\frac{1.986445812\times10^-25}{800}=2.483057265\times10^{-19}J

Tranform the units

1eV=1.602176634\times10^{-19}J\\2.483057265\times10^{-19}J(\frac{1eV}{1.602176634\times10^{-19}J})=1.549802445eV

The band Gap is 4eV, divide the band gap between the energy of the photon:

\frac{4ev}{1.549802445eV}=2.508974118

Rounding to the next integrer: 3.

Three photons are the minimum to equal or exceed the band gap.

What are some differences you can spot in a periodic table?
Serggg [28]

"The position of each element in the table gives important information about its structure, properties, and behavior in chemical reactions. Specifically, an element's position in the periodic table helps you figure out its electron configuration, how the electrons are organized around the nucleus."

Sasha sits on a horse on a carousel 3.5 m from the center of the circle. She makes a revolution once every 8.2 seconds. What is
Leokris [45]

Answer: 2.7 m/s

Explanation:

Given the following :

Period (T) = 8.2 seconds

Radius = 3.5 m

The tangential speed is given as:

V = Radius × ω

ω = angular speed = (2 × pi) / T

ω = (2 × 22/7) / 8.2

ω = 6.2857142 / 8.2

ω = 0.7665505

Therefore, tangential speed (V) equals;

r × ω

3.5 × 0.7665505 = 2.6829268 m/s

2.7 m/s
