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]2 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

Why does conduction occur more slowly in gases than in solids?​
Nataly [62]
Onduction in gas is slower than in liquids and solids because the particles in a gas collide less often. Conduction in metals is faster because the electrons are free to move about

Based on their colors, which of the following stars is hottest? Which is coolest? Archenar (blue), Betelgeuse (red), Capella (ye
Cloud [144]

Answer: The hottest star is Archenar( blue) and the coolest star is Betelgeuse

Explanation:

Objects emit radiation that depends exclusively on their temperature. At an ambient temperature, the radiation emitted by an object is in the infrared spectrum (we could only see it with a special camera). If we heat it we will see that it first turns red (whose state we call “red hot”) because it is the lowest and least energetic wavelength of all.

If we continue to heat it, the wavelength that it emits to one with more energy will continue to increase and we will see that it turns yellow and then white. This is a signal that is emitting at all frequencies (but mainly in blue).

If we continue to warm a body that is "white hot", it would emit in the ultraviolet spectrum, with what would become ... black! then we would not see it emits light in the visible spectrum (well, we would see a very faint bluish light corresponding to the tail of the distribution of the spectrum it emits, but the peak of that spectrum would be in the ultraviolet).

A chair of weight 95.0N lies atop a horizontal floor; the floor is not frictionless. You push on the chair with a force of F = 3
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Answer:

118.4 N

Explanation:

weight of chair, mg = 95 N

Push, F = 39 N

Ф = 37 ° below x axis

Let n be the normal force.

So, by using the diagram and resolve the components of Force F.

n = mg + F SinФ

n = 95 + 39 Sin 37°

n = 95 + 39 x 0.6

n = 118.4 N
