Answer:

Electric force is 6.2\cdot 10^{35} times stronger than gravitational force

Explanation:

The gravitational force between two objects is given by:

F_G = G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

m1, m2 are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between the objects

Here we have:

m_1 = 1.67\cdot 10^{-27}kg (mass of the proton)

m_2=4\cdot 1.67\cdot 10^{-27} =6.68\cdot 10^{-27} kg (mass of the helium nucleus is equal to 4 times the mass of a proton)

r=100 \mu m = 100\cdot 10^{-6} m

So,

F_G = (6.67\cdot 10^{-11}) \frac{(1.67\cdot 10^{-27})(6.68\cdot 10^{-27})}{(100\cdot 10^{-6})^2}=7.44\cdot 10^{-56} N

The electric force between two charged object is given by

F_E=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where

k is the  Coulomb constant

q1, q2 are the two charges

r is the separation

Here we have

q_1 = 1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C (charge of the proton)

q_2 = 2\cdot (1.6\cdot 10^{-19})=3.2\cdot 10^{-19}C (charge of the helium nucleus is twice that of the proton)

r=100 \mu m = 100\cdot 10^{-6} m

So,

F_E=(9\cdot 10^9) \frac{(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(3.2\cdot 10^{-19})}{(100\cdot 10^{-6})^2}=4.6\cdot 10^{-20}N

Therefore, we see that the electric force is much stronger than the gravitational force, by a factor of:

\frac{F_E}{F_G}=\frac{4.6\cdot 10^{-20}}{7.44\cdot 10^{-56}}=6.2\cdot 10^{35}

A racecar experiences a centripetal acceleration of 36.0 m/s2 as it travels at a constant speed of 27.0 m/s along a circular arc
alexdok [17]

Answer:

20.25 m

Explanation:

  • <u>Centripetal acceleration </u>is given by; the square of the velocity, divided by the radius of the circular path.

That is;

         <em><u>ac = v²/r</u></em>

<em>         </em><em><u> Where; ac = acceleration, centripetal, m/s², v is the velocity, m/s and r is the  radius, m</u></em>

Therefore;

r = v²/ac

  = 27²/36

  = 20.25 m

Hence the radius is 20.25 meters

The table represents the speed of a car in a northern direction over several seconds. A 2-column table with 5 rows. The first co
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

Column 1 should be titled “Time,” and Column 2 should be titled

“Velocity.” ⇒ 1st answer

Explanation:

* <em>Lets revise some definitions of graphs</em>

A velocity-time graph represents the speed and direction an object

travels over a period of time.

Velocity-time graph is called speed-time graph.

The vertical axis of a velocity-time graph represents the velocity of the

object and horizontal axis represents the time from the initial position

In an acceleration time graph y-axis represents the acceleration, and

x-axis represents the time

The table represents the <em>speed of a car in a northern</em> direction over

several seconds

That means the data in the table represent the <em>velocity</em> of the car in a

certain time

Time (s)             Velocity (m/s)  

   0                            5

   2                            10

   4                            15

   6                            20

   8                            25

   10                           30

Column 1 would be on the x-axis

x-axis represents the time

Column 2 would be on the y-axis

y-axis represents the velocity

Column 1 should be titled “Time,” and Column 2 should be titled

“Velocity.”
