An electron is moving through an (almost) empty universe at a speed of 628 km,/s toward the only other object in the universe —

an insulating sphere with a diameter of 4 m and charge density 3nC/m2 on its outside surface. The sphere "captures" the electron, which falls into a circular orbit.
Required:
Find the radius and period of the orbit.

Answer:

  r = 2,026 10⁹ m  and   T = 2.027 10⁴ s

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use Newton's second law

        F = m a

where the force is electric

        F = k \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

Acceleration is centripetal

        a = v² / r

we substitute

        k \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2} = m \frac{v^2}{r}

        r = k \frac{q_1q_2}{m \  v^2}          (1)

let's look for the charge in the insulating sphere

          ρ = q₂ / V

          q₂ = ρ V

the volume of the sphere is

         v = 4/3 π r³

we substitute

        q₂ = ρ \frac{4}{3} π r³

        q₂ = 3 10⁻⁹ \frac{4}{3} π 4³

        q₂ = 8.04 10⁻⁷ C

let's calculate the radius with equation 1

        r = 9 10⁹  1.6 10⁻¹⁹  8.04 10⁻⁷ /(9.1  10⁻³¹ 628 10³)

        r = 2,026 10⁹ m

this is the radius of the electron orbit around the charged sphere.

Since the orbit is circulating, the speed (speed modulus) is constant, we can use the uniform motion ratio

        v = x / t

the distance traveled in a circle is

        x = 2π r

In this case, time is the period

        v = 2π r /T

        T = 2π r /v

let's calculate

        T = 2π 2,026 10⁹/628 103

        T = 2.027 10⁴ s

A flat metal washer is heated. As the washer's temperature increases, what happens to the hole in the center? A flat metal washe
STALIN [3.7K]

To solve this exercise it is necessary to take into account the concepts related to thermal expansion.

The thermal expansion is given by the function,

\Delta L = L_0 \alpha \Delta T

Where,

\Delta L= Change in Length

\Delta T =Change in Temperature

\alpha =Coeficiente de dilatación lineal

L_0 = Initial Length

By quickly deducing the formula, we can realize that the greater the change in temperature, the greater the change in the length of the radius.

The change in length is proportional to the change in temperature. Considering that the other two terms are constant we have that the correct one would be: <em>The hole in the center of the washer will expand.</em>

The magnetic field produced by the solenoid in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system designed for measurements on whole huma
Vesna [10]

Answer:

Number of turns per unit length will be n=2.786\times 10^4turns/m

Explanation:

We have given that strength of the magnetic field produced by the solenoid B = 7 T

Current in the solenoid i = 200 A

Let the number of turns per unit length is n

Magnetic field due to solenoid is given as B=\mu ni here \mu is permeability of free space n is number of turns per unit length and i is current

So 7=4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times  n\times 200

n=2.786\times 10^4turns/m

A bag of sugar weighs 3.50 lb on Earth. What would it weigh in newtons on the Moon, where the free-fall acceleration isone-sixth
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

F_{Earth}= 15.57 N

F_{Moon}= 2.60 N

F_{Uranus}= 16.98 N

The mass of the bag is the same on the three planets. m=1.59 kg

Explanation:

The weight of the sugar bag on Earth is:

g=9.81 m/s²

m=3.50 lb=1.59 kg

F_{Earth}=m·g=1.59 kg×9.81 m/s²= 15.57 N

The weight of the sugar bag on the Moon is:

g=9.81 m/s²÷6= 1.635 m/s²

F_{Moon}=m·g=1.59 kg× 1.635 m/s²= 2.60 N

The weight of the sugar bag on the Uranus is:

g=9.81 m/s²×1.09=10.69 m/s²

F_{Uranus}=m·g=1.59 kg×10.69 m/s²= 16.98 N

The mass of the bag is the same on the three planets. m=1.59 kg
