(a) The potential on the surface of a charged sphere of radius R is equal to
V(R) = k_e  \frac{Q}{R}
where k_e = 8.99 \cdot 10^9 N m^2 C^{-2} is the Coulomb's constant, Q is the charge on the sphere's surface.
For the generator mentioned in the problem, the charge is Q= 5 mC=5 \cdot 10^{-3} C, while the radius is R= \frac{d}{2}= \frac{2.0 m}{2} =1.0 m. Using these values in the formula, we can calculate the potential at the surface:
V(R)=8.99 \cdot 10^9 N m^2 C^{-2}  \frac{5 \cdot 10^{-3} C}{1.0 m}=4.5 \cdot 10^7 V

(b) The potential generated by the sphere at a certain distance r from the centre of the sphere is given by
V(r) = k_e  \frac{Q}{r}
the problem asks at which distance V(r) = 1 mV=1\cdot 10^{-3} V. Substituting in the previous formula we can find the value of r:
r=k_e  \frac{Q}{V(r)}= 8.99 \cdot 10^9 N m^2 C^{-2} \frac{5 \cdot 10^{-3}}{1\cdot 10^{-3} V}=4.5 \cdot 10^{10} m

(c) An oxygen atom with 3 missing electrons has a positive charge of +3e, with e being the elementary charge.
The electric potential energy of a charged particle located at some point with voltage V is
U=q V
where q is the charge of the particle, which is in our case q=+3e. So we can calculate the energy of the oxygen atom at the distance found in part b, which corresponds to r=4.5 \cdot 10^{10}m and a voltage of V=1 mV:
U=(3 e)(1 mV) = 3 meV

Substances that move to the stronger parts of a magnetic field are termed ______ substances; the atomic feature responsible for
Arisa [49]

Substances that move to the stronger parts of a magnetic field are termed paramagnetic substances; the atomic feature responsible for this property is presence of unpaired electrons in atoms.

<h3>What is a paramagnetic substance?</h3>

A paramagnetic substance is the substance that possess unpaired electrons that are heavily attracted in a magnetic field.

A magnetic field is defined as the field that exists around a magnet that produces a field of force.

Examples of paramagnetic substance include the following:

  • aluminum,
  • gold,
  • copper.
  • Chromium, and
  • Manganese.

These substances are known as paramagnetic substances because they possess a high number of unpaired electrons.

Other properties of a paramagnetic substance include the following:

  • They have a permanent dipole moment or permanent magnetic moment.
  • They are weakly magnetized in the direction of the magnetizing field.
  • They usually have constant relative permeability (μr) slightly greater than 1.

Therefore, Substances that move to the stronger parts of a magnetic field are termed paramagnetic substances; the atomic feature responsible for this property is presence of unpaired electrons in atoms.

Question is down below need rply fast
My name is Ann [436]

The X and Y components are as follows;

1. X = 35 * cos 57 = 19. 1m/s; Y = 35 * sin 57 = 29.4 m/s

2. X = 12 * -cos 34  = -10 m/s; Y = 12 * -sin 34 = -6.7 m/s

3. X = 8 * -cos 90  = 0 m/s; Y = 12 -sin 90 = -8 m/s

4. X = 20 * cos 75 = 5. 2m/s; Y = 20 * (-sin 75) =  -19.3 m/s

<h3>What are the horizontal and vertical components of the vectors?</h3>

The horizontal and vertical components of the velocities are given as follows:

  • Horizontal component, X = x cos θ
  • Vertical component, Y = y sin θ

1. 35 m/s at  57° from x-axis

X = 35 * cos 57 = 19. 1m/s

Y = 35 * sin 57 = 29.4 m/s

2. 12m/s at 34° S of W

X = 12 * -cos 34  = -10 m/s

Y = 12 * -sin 34 = -6.7 m/s

3. 8 m/s at South

X = 8 * -cos 90  = 0 m/s

Y = 12 -sin 90 = -8 m/s

4. 20 m/s at  275° from x-axis

X = 20 * cos 75 = 5. 2m/s

Y = 20 * (-sin 75) =  -19.3 m/s

In conclusion, the X and Y components are found by taking cosines and sine of the angles.
