You hold a ruler that has a charge on its tip 6 cm above a small piece of tissue paper to see if it can be picked up. The ruler

has −14 µC of charge. The tissue has 5 g of mass. What is the minimum charge required to pick up the tissue paper?

Answer:

q=1.4*10^{-9}C

Explanation:

Given data:

charge on ruler = -14μC

Mass of tissue is 5 g

To Know the minimum charge, equate electrostatic force to weight

we have F = W

so $\frac{KQq}{r^2} =mg$

putting all value in equation,

$=\frac{9*10^9*(14*10^{-6})*q}{0.06^2} = 5* 10^{-3}*9.8$

solving for q

$q =\frac{5* 10^{-3}*9.8 *0.06^2}{9*10^9*(14*10^{-6})}$

or q=1.4*10^{-9}C

Light of wavelength 650 nm is normally incident on the rear of a grating. The first bright fringe (other than the central one) i

koban [17]

Answer:

A

$N = 1340.86 \ slits / cm$

B

$\theta = 15.7^o$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The wavelength is $\lambda = 650 \ nm = 650 *10^{-9} \ m$

The angle of first bright fringe is $\theta = 5^o$

The order of the fringe considered is n =1

Generally the condition for constructive interference is

$dsin (\theta ) = n * \lambda$

=> $d = \frac{1 * 650 *10^{-9 }}{ sin(5)}$

=> $d = 7.458 *10^{-6} \ m$

Converting to cm

$d = 7.458 *10^{-6} \ m = 7.458 *10^{-6} * 100 = 0.0007458 \ cm$

Generally the number of grating pre centimeter is mathematically represented as

$N = \frac{1}{d}$

=> $N = \frac{1}{0.0007458}$

=> $N = 1340.86 \ slits / cm$

Considering question B

From the question we are told that

The first wavelength is $\lambda_1 = 650 \ nm = 650 *10^{-9} \ m$

The second wavelength is $\lambda_2 = 429 \ m = 420 *10^{-9 } \ m$

The order of the fringe is $n = 2$

The grating is $N = 5000 \ slits / cm$

Generally the slit width is mathematically represented as

$d = \frac{1}{N }$

=> $d = \frac{1}{ 5000 }$

=> $d = 0.0002 \ c m = 2.0 *10^{-6} \ m$

Generally the condition for constructive interference for the first ray is mathematically represented as

$d sin(\theta_1) = n * \lambda_1$

=> $\theta_1 = sin^{-1} [\frac{ 2 * \lambda }{d}]$

=> $\theta_1 = sin^{-1} [\frac{ 2 * 650 *10^{-9} }{ 2*10^{-6}}]$

=> $\theta_1 = 40.5 ^o$

Generally the condition for constructive interference for the second ray is mathematically represented as

$d sin(\theta_2) = n * \lambda_2$

=> $\theta_2 = sin^{-1} [\frac{ 2 * \lambda_1 }{d}]$

=> $\theta_2 = sin^{-1} [\frac{ 2 * 420 *10^{-9} }{ 2*10^{-6}}]$

=> $\theta_2 = 24.8 ^o$

Generally the angular separation is mathematically represented as

$\theta = \theta_1 - \theta_1$

=> $\theta = 42.5^o - 24.8^o$

=> $\theta = 15.7^o$

Limestone and dolomite are the rocks present in the locations which leads to the formation of caves.

<h2>Formation of caves</h2>

The type of rocks that once existed in these locations are limestone and dolomite whereas the pH of the nearby groundwater is slightly acidic which is responsible for the formation of caves. Caves are formed by the dissolution of limestone due to acid rain.

<h3>Acid rain</h3>

Rainwater reacts with carbon dioxide from the air and percolates through the soil, which turns into a weak acid. This slowly dissolves out the limestone which become turn to form caves so we can conclude that Limestone and dolomite are the rocks present in the locations which leads to the formation of caves.

The following three hot samples have the same temperature. The same amount of heat is removed from each sample. Which one experi

vlabodo [156]

Answer:

Smallest drop: Water

Largest drop: Dirt

Explanation:

The heat needed to change the temperature of a sample is:

$Q=cm\Delta T$ (1)

with Q the heat (added(+) or removed(-)), c specific heat, m the mass and $\Delta T$ the change in temperature of the sample. So, if we solve (1) for

Sample A:

$\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{cm} =\frac{Q}{4186*4.0}$

$\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{16744}$

Sample B:

$\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{cm} =\frac{Q}{2700*2.0}$

$\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{5400}$

Sample C:

$\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{cm} =\frac{Q}{1050*9.0}$

$\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{9450}$

Note that the numbers 16744, 5400, 9450 are in the denominator of the expression $-\frac{Q}{cm}$ that gives the drop on temperature. so, if Q is the same for the three samples the smallest denominator gives the largest drop and vice versa.

So, the smallest drop is Sample A and the largest is Sample C.

(Important: The minus sign of $\Delta T$ implies the temperature is dropping)
