Answer: $40\ N/C$

Explanation:

Given

Magnitude of charge is $q=0.5\ C$

Force experienced is $F=20\ N$

Electric field intensity is the electrostatic force per unit charge

$\therefore E=\dfrac{F}{q}\\\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{20}{0.50}\\\\\Rightarrow E=40\ N/C$

Thus, the electric field intensity is $40\ N/C$

Two neutron stars are separated by a distance of 1.0 x 1012 m. They each have a mass of 1.0 x 1028 kg and a radius of 1.0 x 103

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Gravitational Potential Energy.

Gravitational potential energy can be defined as

$PE = -\frac{GMm}{R}$

As M=m, then

$PE = -\frac{Gm^2}{R}$

Where,

m = Mass

G =Gravitational Universal Constant

R = Distance /Radius

PART A) As half its initial value is u'=2u, then

$U = -\frac{2Gm^2}{R}$

$dU = -\frac{2Gm^2}{R}$

$dKE = -dU$

Therefore replacing we have that,

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 =\frac{Gm^2}{2R}$

Re-arrange to find v,

$v= \sqrt{\frac{Gm}{R}}$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{6.67*10^{-11}*1*10^{28}}{1*10^{12}}}$

$v = 816.7m/s$

Therefore the velocity when the separation has decreased to one-half its initial value is 816m/s

PART B) With a final separation distance of 2r, we have that

$2r = 2*10^3m$

Therefore

$dU = Gm^2(\frac{1}{R}-\frac{1}{2r})$

$v = \sqrt{Gm(\frac{1}{2r}-\frac{1}{R})}$

$v = \sqrt{6.67*10^{-11}*10^{28}(\frac{1}{2*10^3}-\frac{1}{10^{12}})}$

$v = 1.83*10^7m/s$

Therefore the velocity when they are about to collide is $1.83*10^7m/s$

Answer:

Explanation:

Lets say that a,b,c,d,e are the five allowed energy states in order of decreasing energy. Then the number of possible different spectral lines comes from the electron dropping from a high state to a lower state. So, they will do so in following ways:

a - b

a - c

a - d

a- e

b - c

b - d

b- e

c - d

c- e

d- e

Ans- Ten different possible energy jumps giving six different colors or lines in the spectrum.

makvit [3.9K]

Average speed = (total distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

Total distance covered = (9.5m + 3.5m + 15m) = 28 meters

Time to cover the distance = 43 seconds

Average speed = (28 meters) / (43 seconds)

Average speed = 0.65 meters/second
