A moving particle encounters an external electric field that decreases its kinetic energy from 9520 eV to 7060 eV as the particl

e moves from position A to position B. The electric potential at A is -55.0 V, and the electric potential at B is +27.0 V. Determine the charge of the particle. Include the algebraic sign ( + or - ) with your answer.

Given Information:

KEa = 9520 eV

KEb = 7060 eV

Electric potential = Va = -55 V

Electric potential = Vb = +27 V

Required Information:

Charge of the particle = q = ?

Answer:

Charge of the particle = +4.8x10⁻¹⁸ C

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of energy, we have

ΔKE = -qΔV

KEb - KEa = -q(Vb - Va)

-q = KEb - KEa/Vb - Va

-q = 7060 - 9520/27 - (-55)

-q = 7060 - 9520/27 + 55

-q = -2460/82

minus sign cancels out

q = 2460/82

Convert eV into Joules by multiplying it with 1.60x10⁻¹⁹

q = 2460(1.60x10⁻¹⁹)/82

q = +4.8x10⁻¹⁸ C

A rock hits the ground with a speed of 13 m s−1
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

3.55kg

Explanation:

K. E = ½mv²

Where m = mass,  v = velocity

K. E = 300J

v = 13m/s

Therefore,

K. E = ½mv²

300 = ½ × m × 13²

Multiply both sides by 2

600 = m × 169

Divide both sides by 169

m = 600 ÷ 169

mass = 3.55kg

A Michelson interferometer uses light from a sodium lamp. Sodium atoms emit light having wavelengths 589.0 nm and 589.6 nm. The
DIA [1.3K]

The distance mirror M2 must be moved so that one wavelength has produced one more new maxima than the other wavelength is;

<u><em>L = 57.88 mm</em></u>

<u><em /></u>

We are given;

Wavelength 1; λ₁ = 589 nm = 589 × 10⁻⁹ m

Wavelength 2; λ₂ = 589.6 nm = 589.6 × 10⁻⁹ m

We are told that L₁ = L₂. Thus, we will adopt L.

Formula for the number of bright fringe shift is;

m = 2L/λ

Thus;

For Wavelength 1;

m₁ = 2L/(589 × 10⁻⁹)

For wavelength 2;

m₂ = 2L/(589.6)

Now, we are told that one wavelength must have produced one more new maxima than the other wavelength. Thus;

m₁ - m₂ = 2

Plugging in the values of m₁ and m₂ gives;

(2L/589) - (2L/589.6) = 2

divide through by 2 to get;

L[(1/589) - (1/589.6)] = 1

L(1.728 × 10⁻⁶) = 1

L = 1/(1.728 × 10⁻⁶)

L = 578790.67 nm

L = 57.88 mm

A student notices that an inflated balloon gets larger when it is warmed by a lamp. Which best describes the mass of the balloon
nirvana33 [79]
It gets larger because
well let me give you an example
so today in class we looked at a lava lamp with wax inside and there was a lightbulb at the bottom.
we watched as the wax floated up because the molecules inside the wax spreads out and makes the wax less dense.
the wax floats up because (which is related to the balloon getting bigger) the wax is getting less dense and the particles get bigger which ALSO makes the wax less dense.
hope this helps and hope you can relate it to your problem! say thanks if I did help AT ALL! :)
