Answer:

The differences are: Electrostatic force is force between two charges separated by distance in space while gravitational force is the force between two masses separated by a distance. Electrostatic force is either repulsive or attractive while gravitational force is always attractive.

Fan object moves in uniform circular motion in a circle of radius R=200 meters, and the objectes 5.00 seconds to

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

The centripetal acceleration of the object is $31550.72\ m/s^2$ .

Explanation:

We have,

Radius of a circular path is 200 m

It takes 5 seconds to complete 10 revolutions. The angular velocity of the object is given by the rate of change of angular displacement per unit time :

$\omega=\dfrac{\Delta \theta}{\Delta t}\\\\\omega=\dfrac{2\pi \times 10}{5}\\\\\omega=12.56\ rad/s$

The centripetal acceleration of the object is given by :

$a=\omega^2 r\\\\a=(12.56)^2 \times 200\\\\a=31550.72\ m/s^2$

So, the centripetal acceleration of the object is $31550.72\ m/s^2$ .

calculate the electric field strength between two parallel plates separated by 0.50 cm, across which is a potential of 12 volts.

Alexxandr [17]

Formula for Electric Field strength , E = V/d

where V = Voltage in volts, and d = distance of separation in meters.

d = 0.5 cm = 0.005 m, V = 12 V

E = V/d = 12 / 0.005

E = 2400

Electric Field Strength = 2400 Volts/meter

Light is incident on the left face of an isosceles prism; with an apex angle of 49o, such that the light exiting the right face

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

$\mu = 1.645$

Explanation:

By Snell's law we know at the left surface

$\theta_i = 19^o$

$\theta_r = ?$

$\mu_1 = 1$

$\mu_2 = \mu$

now we have

$1 sin19 = \mu sin\theta_r$

$0.33 = \mu sin\theta_r$

now on the other surface we know that

angle of incidence = $\theta_r'$

$\theta_e = 90$

so again we have

$\mu sin\theta_r' = 1 sin90$

so we have

$\theta_r = sin^{-1}\frac{0.33}{\mu}$

$\theta_r' = sin^{-1}\frac{1}{\mu}$

also we know that

$\theta_r + \theta_r' = 49$

$sin^{-1}\frac{0.33}{\mu} + sin^{-1}\frac{1}{\mu} = 49$

By solving above equation we have

$\mu = 1.645$

A 0.89 m aqueous solution of an ionic compound with the formula mx has a freezing point of -3.0 ∘c . van't hoff factor?

BigorU [14]

Answer is: V<span>an't Hoff factor (i) for this solution is 1,81.
Change in freezing point from pure solvent to solution: ΔT =i · Kf · b.
Kf - molal freezing-point depression constant for water is 1,86°C/m.
b - molality, moles of solute per kilogram of solvent.
</span><span>b = 0,89 m.
ΔT = 3°C = 3 K.
i = </span>3°C ÷ (1,86 °C/m · 0,89 m).

i = 1,81.
