Answer:

(B)  1.23 x 10⁴ J

Explanation:

Given;

radius of the sphere, r = 7.0 m

diameter of the sphere, d = 2r = 14.0 m

mass of the person sitting on the sphere, m = 90.0 kg

The gravitational potential energy of the person is given by;

P.E = mgh

where;

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h is the height above the ground level = d = 14.0 m

P.E = mgh

P.E = (90)(9.8)(14)

P.E = 12348 J

P.E = 1.2348 x 10⁴ J

Therefore, the gravitational potential energy of the person is 1.2348 x 10⁴ J

How do quantum numbers relate to electrons?<br> please explain?
alukav5142 [94]
Quantum numbers<span> allow us to both simplify and dig deeper into electron configurations. Electron configurations allow us to identify energy level, subshell, and the number of electrons in those locations. If you choose to go a bit further, you can also add in x,y, or z subscripts to describe the exact orbital of those subshells (for example </span><span>2<span>px</span></span>). Simply put, electron configurations are more focused on location of electrons then anything else. 
<span>
Quantum numbers allow us to dig deeper into the electron configurations by allowing us to focus on electrons' quantum nature. This includes such properties as principle energy (size) (n), magnitude of angular momentum (shape) (l), orientation in space (m), and the spinning nature of the electron. In terms of connecting quantum numbers back to electron configurations, n is related to the energy level, l is related to the subshell, m is related to the orbital, and s is due to Pauli Exclusion Principle.</span>

Answer:

No. Your friend will not hear the clap when he/she sees it.

Explanation:

It takes time for sound waves to go through a large area. It takes longer if people are in the area rather than it is empty.

A moving particle encounters an external electric field that decreases its kinetic energy from 9520 eV to 7060 eV as the particl
Sati [7]

Given Information:

KEa = 9520 eV

KEb = 7060 eV

Electric potential = Va = -55 V

Electric potential = Vb = +27 V

Required Information:

Charge of the particle = q = ?

Answer:

Charge of the particle = +4.8x10⁻¹⁸ C

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of energy, we have

ΔKE = -qΔV

KEb - KEa = -q(Vb - Va)

-q = KEb - KEa/Vb - Va

-q = 7060 - 9520/27 - (-55)

-q = 7060 - 9520/27 + 55

-q = -2460/82

minus sign cancels out

q = 2460/82

Convert eV into Joules by multiplying it with 1.60x10⁻¹⁹

q = 2460(1.60x10⁻¹⁹)/82

q = +4.8x10⁻¹⁸ C

What is the magnitude of the electric force between a proton and an electron when they are at a distance of 4.09 angstrom from e
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

F=1.38*10^{-9}N

Explanation:

According to Coulomb's law, the magnitude of the electric force between two point charges is directly proportional to the product of the magnitude of both charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates them:

F=\frac{kq_1q_2}{d^2}

Here k is the Coulomb constant. In this case, we have q_1=-e, q_2=e and d=4.09*10^-10m. Replacing the values:

F=\frac{8.99*10^{9}\frac{N\cdot m^2}{C^2}(-1.6*10^{-19}C)(1.6*10^{-19}C)}{(4.09*10^{-10})^2}\\F=-1.38*10^{-9}N

The negative sign indicates that it is an attractive force. So, the magnitude of the electric force is:

F=1.38*10^{-9}N
