Accurately

Explanation:

If we took our laboratory spring to the moon, we can accurately measure the mass because mass of any substance is the same every where in the universe.

Mass is the amount of substance in a matter. Since the same substance on earth is made up of same matter on moon, the mass will remain the same.

The only difference between the measurement would be the weight.
Weight is the vertical force on an object.
It is function of mass and acceleration due to gravity.

Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity.

Acceleration due to gravity on earth and moon are different.
The gravity on moon is about one-sixth that on earth.
The weight using the same mass will be one-sixth
But the mass will be the same.

How many neutrons are in an arsenic atom? I belive there are 42, but better safe than sorry!

galina1969 [7]

Arsenic is Element Number 33 ... it has 33 protons in its nucleus.

You're correct that the stable isotope of the atom is the one with
42 neutrons, for a total Atomic Weight of 75.

Atoms of Arsenic also exist with 41 neutrons and 40 neutrons
in their nucleus, but those are unstable.

The nucleus with 41 neutrons (Atomic Weight = 74) has a 50% chance
of falling apart and becoming a nucleus of Germanium within 80 days.

The nucleus with 40 neutrons (Atomic Weight = 73) has a 50% chance
of falling apart and becoming a nucleus of Germanium within 18 days.

A parallel plate capacitor is connected to a DC battery supplying a constant DC voltage V0= 600V via a resistor R=1845MΩ. The ba

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Given:-

- The DC power supply, Vo = 600 V

- The resistor, R = 1845 MΩ

- The plate area, A = 58.3 cm^2

- Left plate , ground, V = 0

- The right plate, positive potential.

- The distance between the two plates, D = 0.3 m

- The mass of the charge, m = 0.4 g

- The charge, q = 3*10^-5 C

- The point C = ( 0.25 , 12 )

- The point A = ( 0.05 , 12 )

Find:-

What is the speed, v, of that charge when it reaches point A(0.05,12)?

How long would it take the charge to reach point A?

Solution:-

- The Electric field strength ( E ) between the capacitor plates, can be evaluated by the potential difference ( Vo ) of the Dc power supply.

E = Vo / D

E = 600 / 0.3

E = 2,000 V / m

- The electrostatic force (Fe) experienced by the charge placed at point C, can be evaluated:

Fe = E*q

Fe = (2,000 V / m) * ( 3*10^-5 C)

Fe = 0.06 N

- Assuming the gravitational forces ( Weight of the particle ) to be insignificant. The motion of the particle is only in "x" direction under the influence of Electric force (Fe). Apply Newton's equation of motion:

Fnet = m*a

Where, a : The acceleration of the object/particle.

- The only unbalanced force acting on the particle is (Fe):

Fe = m*a

a = Fe / m

a = 0.06 / 0.0004

a = 150 m/s^2

- The particle has a constant acceleration ( a = 150 m/s^2 ). Now the distance between (s) between two points is:

s = C - A

s = ( 0.25 , 12 ) - ( 0.05 , 12 )

s = 0.2 m

- The particle was placed at point C; hence, velocity vi = 0 m/s. Then the velocity at point A would be vf. The particle accelerates under the influence of electric field. Using third equation of motion, evaluate (vf) at point A:

vf^2 = vi^2 + 2*a*s

vf^2 = 0 + 2*0.2*150

vf = √60

vf = 7.746 m/s

- Now, use the first equation of motion to determine the time taken (t) by particle to reach point A:

vf - vi = a*t

t = ( 7.746 - 0 ) / 150

t = 0.0516 s

- The charge placed at point C, the Dc power supply is connected across the capacitor plates. The capacitor starts to charge at a certain rate with respect to time (t). The charge (Q) at time t is given by:

$Q = c*Vo*[ 1 - e^(^-^t^/^R^C^)]$

- Where, The constant c : The capacitance of the capacitor.

- The Electric field strength (E) across the plates; hence, the electrostatic force ( Fe ) is also a function of time:

$E = \frac{Vo*[ 1 - e^(^-^t^/^R^C^)]}{D} \\\\Fe = \frac{Vo*[ 1 - e^(^-^t^/^R^C^)]}{D}*q\\\\$

- Again, apply the Newton's second law of motion and determine the acceleration (a):

Fe = m*a

a = Fe / m

$a = \frac{Vo*q*[ 1 - e^(^-^t^/^R^C^)]}{m*D}$

- Where the acceleration is rate of change of velocity "dv/dt":

$\frac{dv}{dt} = \frac{Vo*q}{m*D} - \frac{Vo*q*[ e^(^-^t^/^R^C^)]}{m*D}\\\\B = \frac{600*3*10^-^5}{0.0004*0.3} = 150, \\\\\frac{dv}{dt} = 150*( 1 - [ e^(^-^t^/^R^C^)])\\\\$

- Where the capacitance (c) for a parallel plate capacitor can be determined from the following equation:

$c = \frac{A*eo}{d}$

Where, eo = 8.854 * 10^-12 .... permittivity of free space.

$K = \frac{1}{RC} = \frac{D}{R*A*eo} = \frac{0.3}{1845*58.3*8.854*10^-^1^2*1000} = 315\\\\$

- The differential equation turns out ot be:

$\frac{dv}{dt} = 150*( 1 - [ e^(^-^K^t^)]) = 150*( 1 - [ e^(^-^3^1^5^t^)]) \\\\$

- Separate the variables the integrate over the interval :

t : ( 0 , t )

v : ( 0 , vf )

Therefore,

$\int\limits^v_0 {dv} \, = \int\limits^t_0 {150*( 1 - [ e^(^-^3^1^5^t^)])} .dt \\\\\\vf = 150*( t + \frac{e^(^-^3^1^5^t^)}{315} )^t_0\\\\vf = 150*( t + \frac{e^(^-^3^1^5^t^) - 1}{315} )$

- The final velocity at point A for the particle is given by the expression derived above. So for t = 0.0516 s, The final velocity would be:

$vf = 150*( 0.0516 + \frac{e^(^-^3^1^5^*^0^.^0^5^1^6^) - 1}{315} )\\\\vf = 7.264 m/s$

- The final velocity of particle while charging the capacitor would be:

vf = 7.264 m/s ... slightly less for the fully charged capacitor
