Answer:

Coefficient of friction = 0.5

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of box = 5 kg

Force applied = 20 N

Acceleration = 2 m/s²

Find:

Coefficient of friction

Computation:

Friction force = Mass x Acceleration.

Friction force = 5 x 2

Friction force = 10 N

Coefficient of friction = Friction force / Force applied

Coefficient of friction = 10 / 20

Coefficient of friction = 0.5

What amount of energy is needed for an electron to jump from n = 1 to n = 4?

liberstina [14]

Answer:

$E=2.04\times 10^{-18}\ J$

Explanation:

We need to find the energy for an electron to jump from n = 1 to n = 4.

The energy in transition from 1 state to another is given by :

$E=\dfrac{-2.18\times 10^{-18}}{n^2}\ J$

The difference in energy for n = 1 to n = 4 is:

$E=-2.18\times 10^{-18}\times (\dfrac{1}{4^2}-1)\\\\E=2.04\times 10^{-18}\ J$

So, the required energy is equal to $2.04\times 10^{-18}\ J$ .

A uniformly charged ring of radius 10.0 cm has a total charge of 75.0 mC. Find the electric field on the axis of the ring at (a)

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

(a) 6650246.305 N/C

(b) 24150268.34 N/C

(c) 6408227.848 N/C

(d) 665024.6305 N/C

Explanation:

Given:

Radius of the ring (r) = 10.0 cm = 0.10 m [1 cm = 0.01 m]

Total charge of the ring (Q) = 75.0 μC = $75\times 10^{-6}\ \mu C$ [1 μC = 10⁻⁶ C]

Electric field on the axis of the ring of radius 'r' at a distance of 'x' from the center of the ring is given as:

$E_x=\dfrac{kQx}{(x^2+r^2)^\frac{3}{2}}$

Plug in the given values for each point and solve.

(a)

Given:

$Q=75\times 10^{-6}\ \mu C$ , $r=0.01\ m, a=1.00\ cm=0.01\ m,k=9\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2$

Electric field is given as:

$E_x=\dfrac{(9\times 10^{9})(75\times 10^{-6})(0.01)}{((0.01)^2+(0.1)^2)^\frac{3}{2}}\\\\E_x=\dfrac{6750}{1.015\times 10^{-3}}\\\\E_x=6650246. 305\ N/C$

(b)

Given:

$Q=75\times 10^{-6}\ \mu C$ , $r=0.01\ m, a=5.00\ cm=0.05\ m,k=9\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2$

Electric field is given as:

$E_x=\dfrac{(9\times 10^{9})(75\times 10^{-6})(0.05)}{((0.05)^2+(0.1)^2)^\frac{3}{2}}\\\\E_x=\dfrac{33750}{1.3975\times 10^{-3}}\\\\E_x=24150268.34\ N/C$
