A square metal plate of edge length 12 cm and negligible thickness has a total charge of 5.6 × 10-6 C. (a) Estimate the magnitud

e E of the electric field just off the center of the plate (at, say, a distance of 0.49 mm from the center) by assuming that the charge is spread uniformly over the two faces of the plate. (b) Estimate E at a distance of 29 m (large relative to the plate size) by assuming that the plate is a charged particle.

Answer:

a) 2.2*10^7 N/C

b) 60 N/C

Explanation:

To start with, we say that the

Area charge of the plate, σ = q/2A

σ = 5.6*10^-6 / 2(12*10^-2)²

σ = 5.6*10^-6 / 0.0288

σ = 1.944*10^-4 C²/m

Next, we find the electric field

Electric field, E = σ/Eo

Electric field, E = 1.944*10^-4 / 8.85*10^-12

Electric field, E = 2.2*10^7 N/C

b)

E = kq/r²

E = [8.99*10^9 * 5.6*10^-6] / 29²

E = 50344 / 841

E = 60 N/C

This means that the E at a distance of 29 m is 60 N/C

What portion of the electromagnetic spectrum is used for mass spectrometry
Alex73 [517]

The energy of the electromagnetic spectrum is not used in mass spectrography to make measurements.

<h3>What is mass spectrometry?</h3>

In physics and chemistry, mass spectrometry refers to statistical analytical techniques that allow scientists to determine the mass distribution of various types of molecules based on their mass on a substance.

The energy of the electromagnetic spectrum is not used in mass spectrography to make measurements. The process of mass spectrometry is primarily based on the interaction of molecules with a beam of electrons (rather than photons) and the subsequent measurement.

Hence the energy of the electromagnetic spectrum is not used in mass spectrography to make measurements.

If the thrower takes 0.90 s to complete one revolution, starting from rest, what will be the speed of the discus at release?
Marysya12 [62]
Ω₀ = the initial angular velocity (from rest)
t = 0.9 s, time for a revolution
θ = 2π rad, the angular distance traveled

Let
α =  the angular acceleration
ω =  the final angular velocity

The angular rotation obeys the equation
(1/2)*(α rad/s²)*(0.9 s)² = (2π rad)
α = 15.514 rad/s²

The final angular velocity is
ω = (15.514 rad/s²)*(0.9 s) = 13.963 rad/s

If the thrower's arm is r meters long, the tangential velocity of release will be 
v = 13.963r m/s

Answer: 13.963 rad/s

Argon, atomic number 18, has an atomic weight of 39.9. Potassium, atomic number 19, has an atomic weight of 39.1. Which of these
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer: D

Explanation:

Atomic weight is measured by adding the number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus. Argon's atomic number is 18 while potassium's is 19. This means that Argon will always have 18 protons while potassium will always have 19 protons.

To make the numbers easier to work with, round each atomic weight. We'll say the atomic weight of potassium is 39 and the atomic weight of argon is 40. To see how many neutrons each one has, I can set up a simple equation for each using the following equation:

Atomic weight = protons + neutrons

Potassium:

39 = 19 + N  -->  N = 20

Argon:

40 = 18 + N  -->  N = 22

An atom is defined by the number of protons it has, but the number of neutrons can vary. We call these isotopes, or atoms with the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. As the math shows, argon typically has more neutrons per atom than potassium does.
