Answer: An atom that gains or loses an electron becomes an ion. If it gains a negative electron, it becomes a negative ion. If it loses an electron it becomes a positive ion

A force of 960 newtons stretches a spring 4 meters. A mass of 60 kilograms is attached to the end of the spring and is initially

Drupady [299]

Answer:

x(t) = - 6 cos 2t

Explanation:

Force of spring = - kx

k= spring constant

x= distance traveled by compressing

But force = mass × acceleration

==> Force = m × d²x/dt²

===> md²x/dt² = -kx

==> md²x/dt² + kx=0 ------------------------(1)

Now Again, by Hook's law

Force = -kx

==> 960=-k × 400

==> -k =960 /4 =240 N/m

ignoring -ve sign k= 240 N/m

Put given data in eq (1)

We get

60d²x/dt² + 240x=0

==> d²x/dt² + 4x=0

General solution for this differential eq is;

x(t) = A cos 2t + B sin 2t ------------------------(2)

Now initially

position of mass spring

at time = 0 sec

x (0) = 0 m

initial velocity v= = dx/dt= 6m/s

from (2) we have;

dx/dt= -2Asin 2t +2B cost 2t = v(t) --- (3)

put t =0 and dx/dt = v(0) = -6 we get;

-2A sin 2(0)+2Bcos(0) =-6

==> 2B = -6

B= -3

Putting B = 3 in eq (2) and ignoring first term (because it is not possible to find value of A with given initial conditions) - we get

x(t) = - 6 cos 2t

The aurora is caused when electrons and protons, moving in the earth’s magnetic field of ≈5.0×10−5T, collide with molecules of t

ollegr [7]

Answer:

8.79*10^6 rad/s

Explanation:

To find the frequency of the circular orbit for an electron you use the following expression, for the radius of the trajectory of an electron, that travels trough a constant magnetic field:

$r=\frac{mv}{qB}$ (1)
