A conducting sphere has a net charge of -4.8x10-17 C. What is the approximate number of excess electrons on the sphere?

Physics

Aloiza [94]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The number is  N  = 300

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  net charge is  Q =  -4.8 *10^{-17 } \  C

Generally the charge on a electron is e = - 1.60 *10^{-19 } \ C

Generally the number of excess electrons is mathematically represented as

      N  =  \frac{Q}{e}

=>  N  =  \frac{-4.8 *10^{-17}}{-1.60 *10^{-19}}

=>  N  = 300

How does a prism split white light into a rainbow?
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

DECOMPOSITION OF LIGHT:

Descartes explained the formation of the rainbow and years later Newton studied the light and managed to break it down into the colors of its spectrum through a prism year 1666.

Newton knew very little about the nature of light, did not know that it was a wave and even less that it was an electromagnetic wave. He believed that it was formed by corpuscles, but he managed to break it down into its spectral colors. Today we know that light is both particle and wave.

Humans (and some animals) appreciate a wide range of colors that are usually due to the mixture of radiation (lights) of different wavelengths. The color of light with a single wavelength or a narrow band of them is known as pure color.

When the light passes through a glass prism, the different wavelengths that make up the light beam travel inside it at different speeds and curl differently when entering and leaving (double refraction when changing media) giving as result a beam diverted from the initial direction and with its separate components. Thus arises the solar spectrum.

Each of the different rays of light crosses the glass with different velocity and the average speed of light within the prism is less than in a vacuum. Light is a wave with an oscillating electric field that interferes with the charged particles in matter.

The visible radiations are between the following wavelengths: from 350 nm (nanometers) for violet to 750 nm for red.

Which statement illustrates how progress in engineering has affected the natural environment?
kvasek [131]

Answer:

A. Extracting mineral resources with modern mining equipment removes fertile topsoil.

Explanation:

Mining is defined as the process that involves the extraction of valuable minerals from large amounts of waste rock.

Progress in engineering has affected the natural environment and mining is one of the best examples of this. The use of modern mining equipment removes fertile topsoil and highly influences the fertility of the soil.  It is hard to reconstruct topsoil and modern mining equipment continuously damaging soil fertility.

Hence, the correct answer is "A. Extracting mineral resources with modern mining equipment removes fertile topsoil."

inessss [21]

Answer: live conductor with his right hand and touches a ground with his left hand

Explanation:

When a technician touches a live conductor with his right hand and touches a ground with his left hand, it is the most dangerous, and likely to cause serious injury.

This is because when the person touches the live conductor, there will be an electrical path which will allow current flow with the aid of the person's body. This is because the body of human being is a conductor. Therefore, when the technician touches the live conductor with his right hand and touches a ground with his left hand, an electrical path is created.
