Answer:

The tension on the string is 2.353 N.

Explanation:

Given;

the speed of sound in air, v₀ = 343 m/s

then, the speed of sound on the string, v = 343 / 10 = 34.3 m/s

mass per unit length, m/l = μ = 0.002 kg/m

The speed of sound on the string is given as;

$v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} } \\\\v^2 = \frac{T}{\mu} \\\\T = v^2 \mu$

where;

T is the tension on the string

T = (34.3)²(0.002)

T = 2.353 N

Therefore, the tension on the string is 2.353 N.

Refraction occurs through a glass slab why

masha68 [24]

Answer:

One when it enters the glass slab from air and second time when it enters the air through glass slab. When light rays travelling through air enters glass slab, they get refracted and bend towards the normal. Now the direction of refracted ray changes again when it comes out of the glass slab into air.

If the radius of an atom is 60 pm and the radius of the Earth is 6000 km, by how many orders of

kherson [118]

Answer:

1 x 10¹⁷

Explanation:

Given data:

Radius of the earth = 6000km

Radius of an atom = 60pm

Now, how many orders is the radius of the earth larger than an atom

Solution:

To solve this problem, let us express both quantity as the same unit;

1000m = 1km

6000km = 6000 x 10³m = 6 x 10⁶m

60pm;

1 x 10⁻¹²m = 1pm

60pm = 60 x 1 x 10⁻¹²m = 6 x 10⁻¹¹m

Now;

The order: $\frac{6 x 10^{6} }{6 x 10^{-11} }$ = 1 x 10¹⁷

In a Hydrogen atom an electron rotates around a stationary proton in a circular orbit with an approximate radius of r =0.053nm.

leonid [27]

Answer:

(a): $F_e = 8.202\times 10^{-8}\ \rm N.$

(b): $F_g = 3.6125\times 10^{-47}\ \rm N.$

(c): $\dfrac{F_e}{F_g}=2.27\times 10^{39}.$

Explanation:

Given that an electron revolves around the hydrogen atom in a circular orbit of radius r = 0.053 nm = 0.053 $\times 10^{-9}$ m.

Part (a):

According to Coulomb's law, the magnitude of the electrostatic force of interaction between two charged particles of charges $q_1$ and $q_2$ respectively is given by

$F_e = \dfrac{k|q_1||q_2|}{r^2}$

where,

$k$ = Coulomb's constant = $9\times 10^9\ \rm Nm^2/C^2.$
$r$ = distance of separation between the charges.

For the given system,

The Hydrogen atom consists of a single proton, therefore, the charge on the Hydrogen atom, $q_1 = +1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C.$

The charge on the electron, $q_2 = -1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C.$

These two are separated by the distance, $r = 0.053\times 10^{-9}\ m.$

Thus, the magnitude of the electrostatic force of attraction between the electron and the proton is given by

$F_e = \dfrac{(9\times 10^9)\times |+1.6\times 10^{-19}|\times |-1.6\times 10^{-19}|}{(0.053\times 10^{-9})^2}=8.202\times 10^{-8}\ \rm N.$

Part (b):

The gravitational force of attraction between two objects of masses $m_1$ and $m_1$ respectively is given by

$F_g = \dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}.$

where,

$G$ = Universal Gravitational constant = $6.67\times 10^{-11}\ \rm Nm^2/kg^2.$
$r$ = distance of separation between the masses.

For the given system,

The mass of proton, $m_1 = 1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg.$

The mass of the electron, $m_2 = 9.11\times 10^{-31}\ kg.$

Distance between the two, $r = 0.053\times 10^{-9}\ m.$

Thus, the magnitude of the gravitational force of attraction between the electron and the proton is given by

$F_g = \dfrac{(6.67\times 10^{-11})\times (1.67\times 10^{-27})\times (9.11\times 10^{-31})}{(0.053\times 10^{-9})^2}=3.6125\times 10^{-47}\ \rm N.$

The ratio $\dfrac{F_e}{F_g}$ :

$\dfrac{F_e}{F_g}=\dfrac{8.202\times 10^{-8}}{3.6125\times 10^{-47}}=2.27\times 10^{39}.$
