An object is given a very small amount of charge. Which of the following could

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 box rests on top of a flat bed truck. The box has a mass of m = 16.0 kg. The coefficient of static friction between the box an
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

1) 1.31 m/s2

2) 20.92 N

3) 8.53 m/s2

4) 1.76 m/s2

5) -8.53 m/s2

Explanation:

1) As the box does not slide, the acceleration of the box (relative to ground) is the same as acceleration of the truck, which goes from 0 to 17m/s in 13 s

a = \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} = \frac{17 - 0}{13} = 1.31 m/s2

2)According to Newton 2nd law, the static frictional force that acting on the box (so it goes along with the truck), is the product of its mass and acceleration

F_s = am = 1.31*16 = 20.92 N

3) Let g = 9.81 m/s2. The maximum static friction that can hold the box is the product of its static coefficient and the normal force.

F_{\mu_s} = \mu_sN = mg\mu_s = 16*9.81*0.87 = 136.6N

So the maximum acceleration on the block is

a_{max} = F_{\mu_s} / m = 136.6 / 16 = 8.53 m/s^2

4)As the box slides, it is now subjected to kinetic friction, which is

F_{\mu_s} = mg\mu_k = 16*9.81*0.69 = 108.3 N

So if the acceleration of the truck it at the point where the box starts to slide, the force that acting on it must be at 136.6 N too. So the horizontal net force would be 136.6 - 108.3 = 28.25N. And the acceleration is

28.25 / 16 = 1.76 m/s2

5) Same as number 3), the maximum deceleration the truck can have without the box sliding is -8.53 m/s2

Which properties of a lava lamp are important to remember when modeling convection?
Luba_88 [7]
Important thing when making a lava lamp are the two liquids with different density so that it would not mix and that it would expand when heated. The movement of the orange liquid is called convection. if you will not heat the orange one, it till just stay on the stop and not go under tha water.

An air-filled pipe is found to have successive harmonics at 945 Hz , 1215 Hz , and 1485 Hz . It is unknown whether harmonics bel
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

L = 0.635m

Explanation:

This problem involves the concept of stationary waves in pipes. For pipes closed at one end,

The frequency f = nv/4L for n = 1,3,5....n

For pipes open at both ends

f = nv/2L for n = 1,2,3,4...n

Assuming the pipe is closed at one end and that velocity of sound is 343m/s in air. If we are right we will obtain a whole number for n.

The film solution can be found in the attachment below.

The solid rod shown has a radius of 0.75 in. if it is subjected to the force the 500lb determine the max normal stress developed
Kipish [7]
The normal stress follows the formula written below:

σ = F/A

There are two types of stress, axial and tangential. Since we are only given with the dimension of the radius (and not the length), the possible stress is axial. So, the area is,

A = πr² = π(0.75 in)² = 1.767 in²

So,
σ = F/A = 500 lb/1.767 in² = <em>282.94 psi</em>
