5.4*10^-19 C

Explanation:

For the purposes of this question, charges essentially come in packages that are the size of an electron (or proton since they have the same magnitude of charge). The charge on an electron is -1.6*10^-19

Therefore, any object should have a charge that is a multiple of the charge of an electron - It would not make sense to have a charge equivalent to 1.5 electrons since you can't exactly split the electron in half. So the charge of any integer number of electrons can be transferred to another object.

Charge = q(electron)*n(#electrons)

Since 5.4/1.6 = 3.375, we know that it can not be the right answer because the answer is not an integer.

If you divide every other option listed by the charge of an electron, you will get an integer number.

(16*10^-19 C)/(1.6*10^-19C) = 10

(-6.4*10^-19 C)/(1.6*10^-19C) = -4

(4.8*10^-19 C)/(1.6*10^-19C) = 3

(5.4*10^-19 C)/(1.6*10^-19C) = 3.375

(3.2*10^-19C)/(1.6*10^-19C) = 2

etc.

I hope this helps!

A pipe of length 6.8 m is closed at one end and sustains a standing wave at its second overtone. determine the distance between
r-ruslan [8.4K]
For a pipe closed at one end, the second overtone is the 3rd natural frequency as shown in the diagram.

For the fundamental frequency,
λ = 4L
where
λ = wavelength
L = the length of the tube

For the second overtone (3rd frequency)
λ = (4/3)L

Because L = 6.8 m, therefore
λ = (4/3)*(6.8 m) = 9.0667 m

The distance between a node and an adjacent antinode is λ/2, which is
9.0667/2 = 4.533 m

Answer: 4.5 m

Josh has a toy car of mass 3 kg tied to a string of length 2 m. He ties the string to a pole and has the toy car drive in a circ
gulaghasi [49]

Part a)

Centripetal acceleration is defined as

a_c = \frac{v^2}{R}

now here we know that

v = 3m/s

R = 2 m

m = 3 kg

now from above formula we have

a_c = \frac{3^2}{2}

a_c = 4.5 m/s^2

Part b)

Maximum possible tension in the string is given as

T = 50 N

now by force equation we have

F = ma

50 = 3 a

a = \frac{50}{3} m/s^2

now again by above formula

\frac{v^2}{R} = \frac{50}{3}

v = \sqrt{\frac{50 \times 2}{3}}

v = 5.77 m/s
