A firecracker before been lit has potential energy in it. It is chemical potential energy which is due to the explosives in it.When it is lit, it gets converted into heat,light and kinetic energy.

You place a point charge q = -4.00 nC a distance of 9.00 cm from an infinitely long, thin wire that has linear charge density 3.

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

$F=6\times 10^{-7}\ N$

Explanation:

Given:

quantity of point charge, $q=-4\times 10^{-9}\ C$

radial distance from the linear charge, $r=0.09\ m$

linear charge density, $\lambda=3\times 10^{-9}\ C.m^{-1}$

<u>We know that the electric field by the linear charge is given as:</u>

$E=\frac{\lambda}{2\pi.\epsilon_0.r}$

$E=\frac{1}{2}\times 9\times 10^9\times \frac{3\times10^{-9}}{0.09}$

$E=150\ N.C^{-1}$

<u>Now the force on the given charge can be given as:</u>

$F=E.q$

$F=150\times 4\times 10^{-9}$

$F=6\times 10^{-7}\ N$

Two engineering students, John with a weight of 96 kg and Mary with a weight of 48 kg, are 30 m apart. Suppose each has a 0.04%

djyliett [7]

Answer:

$6.8370869499\times 10^{20}\ N$

Explanation:

$N_A$ = Avogadro's number = $6.022\times 10^{23}$

e = Charge of electron = $1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

k = Coulomb constant = $8.99\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2$

Z = Atomic number of water = 18

M = Molar mass of water = 0.018 kg/mol

m = Mass of person

The charge is given by

$q=imbalance\times n\times e$

Total number of protons and electrons in each sphere

$n=\dfrac{mN_AZe}{M}$

$q=imbalance\times \dfrac{mN_AZe}{M}$

$q_1=0.0004\times \dfrac{96\times 6.022\times 10^{23}\times 18\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{0.018}\\\Rightarrow q_1=3699916.8\ C$

$q_2=0.0004\times \dfrac{48\times 6.022\times 10^{23}\times 18\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{0.018}\\\Rightarrow q_1=1849958.4\ C$

Electrical force is given by

$F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{8.99\times 10^{9}\times 3699916.8\times 1849958.4}{30^2}\\\Rightarrow F=6.8370869499\times 10^{20}\ N$

The electrostatic force of attraction between them is $6.8370869499\times 10^{20}\ N$

A number is written in scientific notation when it is the product of a number less than 10 but greater than or equal to 1 and a

Bess [88]

Answer:

$Mass = 1.99 * 10^{30} kg$

Explanation:

Given

$Mass = 1,990,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000\ kg$

Required

Rewrite using scientific notation

The format of a number in scientific notation is

$Digit = a * 10^n$

Where $1 \geq\ a\geq\ 10$

So the given parameter can be rewritten as

$Mass = 1.99 * 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000\ kg$

Express as a power of 10

$Mass = 1.99 * 10^{30} kg$

Hence, the equivalent of the mass of the sun in scientific notation is:

$Mass = 1.99 * 10^{30} kg$

Radioactive isotopes can be used to find the age of rocks, fossils, or other artifacts. Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5,730 years

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

1/8 = (1/2)^3

This implies the sample has decayed for 3 half lives

3 * 5730 yrs = 17,200 years
