Two spherical objects are separated by a distance that is 1.08 x 10-3 m. The objects are initially electrically neutral and are

very small compared to the distance between them. Each object acquires the same negative charge due to the addition of electrons. As a result, each object experiences an electrostatic force that has a magnitude of 3.89 x 10-21 N. How many electrons did it take to produce the charge on one of the objects

Answer:

the charge on the object is 71.043×10^-20 C and the number of electron is 4.44

Explanation:

from coulumbs law, The force that is acting over both charge can be computed as

F=( kq1q2)/r^2..............eqn(1)

Where

F=electrostatic force= 3.89 x 10-21 N

k= column constant= 9 x 10^9 Nm^2/C^2

q1 and q2= magnitude of the charges

r= distance between the charges= 1.08 x 10-3 m.

Since both charges are experiencing the same force, eqn(1) can be written as

F=( kq^2)/r^2.

We can make q subject of the formula

q= √(Fr^2)/k

= √[(3.89 x 10^-21× (1.08 x 10^-3)^2]/8.99 x 10^9

q= 71.043×10^-20 C

Hence, the charge is 71.043×10^-20 C

From quantization law, the number of electron can be computed as

N=q/e

Where

N= number of electron

q= charges

=1.6×10^-19C

N=71.043×10^-20/1.6×10^-19

=4.44

Hence, the charge on the object is 71.043×10^-20 C and the number of electron is 4.44

Stop lamps must be visible within____ to the rear

Charra [1.4K]

The answer is 300 feet. The stop lamp or lamps on the rear of a vehicle must show a red light that is set in motion upon application of the service or foot brake and, in a vehicle manufactured or assembled on or after January 1, 1964, must be visible from a distance of not less than 300 feet to the rear in normal sunlight. Take note, if the vehicle is manufactured or assembled January 1, 1964, the stop lamp or lamps must be visible from a distance of not less than 100 feet. Also, the stop lamp may be combined with one or more other rear lamps.

How fast must a bug swim to keep up with the waves it produces? How fast must it move to produce a bow wave?

Elden [556K]

Answer:

A bug must swim as fast as the wave speed to keep up with the waves it produces. Moreso, a boat must be moving faster than the waves it creates to produce a bow wave.

Sasha lifts a couch 8.2 meters from the ground floor of her house to the attic. If the couch has a mass of 120 kg, what is the g

gavmur [86]

As we know that gravitational potential energy is given by

$U = mgH$

here we have

m = mass = 120 kg

$g = 9.81 m/s^2$

h = height = 8.2 m

now from above formula

$U = 120kg (9.81 m/s^2) (8.2 m)$

$U = 9653.04 J$

so above is the gravitational potential energy of the couch

A positive kaon (K+) has a rest mass of 494 MeV/c² , whereas a proton has a rest mass of 938 MeV/c². If a kaon has a total energ

vitfil [10]

Answer:

<em>0.85c </em>

Explanation:

Rest mass of Kaon $M_{0K}$ = 494 MeV/c²

Rest mass of proton $M_{0P}$ = 938 MeV/c²

The rest energy is gotten by multiplying the rest mass by the square of the speed of light c²

for the kaon, rest energy $E_{0K}$ = 494c² MeV

for the proton, rest energy $E_{0P}$ = 938c² MeV

Recall that the rest energy, and the total energy are related by..

$E$ = γ $E_{0}$

which can be written in this case as

$E_{K}$ = γ $E_{0K}$ ...... equ 1

where $E$ = total energy of the kaon, and

$E_{0}$ = rest energy of the kaon

γ = relativistic factor = $\frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2} } }$

where $\beta = \frac{v}{c}$

But, it is stated that the total energy of the kaon is equal to the rest mass of the proton or its equivalent rest energy, therefore...

$E_{K}$ = $E_{0P}$ ......equ 2

where $E_{K}$ is the total energy of the kaon, and

$E_{0P}$ is the rest energy of the proton.

From $E_{K}$ = $E_{0P}$ = 938c²

equ 1 becomes

938c² = γ494c²

γ = 938c²/494c² = 1.89

γ = $\frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2} } }$ = 1.89

1.89 $\sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2} }$ = 1

squaring both sides, we get

3.57( 1 - $\beta^{2}$ ) = 1

3.57 - 3.57 $\beta^{2}$ = 1

2.57 = 3.57 $\beta^{2}$

$\beta^{2}$ = 2.57/3.57 = 0.72

$\beta = \sqrt{0.72}$ = 0.85

but, $\beta = \frac{v}{c}$

v/c = 0.85

v = <em>0.85c </em>

List the 3 types of collisions that occur when your vehicle hits an object.

koban [17]

These collisions are: "a Vehicle Collision, a Human Collision, Internal Collision." A vehicle collision is a collision that involves two or more vehicles and is when the vehicles collide against each other creating a unbalanced force since how the force comes from opposite directions. A human collision would involve a vehicle and a human which would also be a unbalanced force but the human wouldn't have much affect of it's speed. A internal collision is when something happens inside the vehicle which decreases, or increases the vehicles speed.

Hope this helps!
