In an electrostatic field, path 1 between points A and B is twice as long as path 2. The electrostatic work done on a negatively

charged particle that moves from A to B along path 1 is W1.
How much work is done on this particle if it later goes from A to B along path 2? Express your answer in terms of W1.

W2=??​

Answer:

W2 = W1

Explanation:

work is independent of the path taken between the points.

The magnetic field at point P due to a 2.0-A current flowing in a long, straight, thin wire is 8.0 μT. How far is point P from t
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

r = 0.05 m = 5 cm

Explanation:

Applying ampere's law to the wire, we get:

B = \frac{\mu_oI}{2\pi r}\\\\r =  \frac{\mu_oI}{2\pi B}

where,

r = distance of point P from wire = ?

μ₀ = permeability of free space = 4π x 10⁻⁷ N/A²

I = current = 2 A

B = Magnetic Field = 8 μT = 8 x 10⁻⁶ T

Therefore,

r = \frac{(4\pi\ x\ 10^{-7}\ N/A^2)(2\ A)}{2\pi(8\ x\ 10^{-6}\ T)}\\\\

<u>r = 0.05 m = 5 cm</u>

Imagine that an electron in an excited state in a nitrogen molecule decays to its ground state, emitting a photon with a frequen
mash [69]
Since energy cannot be created nor destroyed, the change in energy of the electron must be equal to the energy of the emitted photon.

The energy of the emitted photon is given by:
E=hf
where
h is the Planck constant
f is the photon frequency
Substituting f=8.88 \cdot 10^{14}Hz, we find
E=hf=(6.6 \cdot 10^{-34} Js)(8.88 \cdot 10^{14} Hz)=5.86 \cdot 10^{-19} J

This is the energy given to the emitted photon; it means this is also equal to the energy lost by the electron in the transition, so the variation of energy of the electron will have a negative sign (because the electron is losing energy by decaying from an excited state, with higher energy, to the ground state, with lower energy)
\Delta E= -5.86 \cdot 10^{-19} J

On a horizontal surface is located
Ierofanga [76]

By Newton's second law, the net vertical force acting on the object is 0, so that

<em>n</em> - <em>w</em> = 0

where <em>n</em> = magnitude of the normal force of the surface pushing up on the object, and <em>w</em> = weight of the object. Hence <em>n</em> = <em>w</em> = <em>mg</em> = 196 N, where <em>m</em> = 20 kg and <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s².

The force of static friction exerts up to 80 N on the object, since that's the minimum required force needed to get it moving, which means the coefficient of <u>static</u> friction <em>µ</em> is such that

80 N = <em>µ</em> (196 N)   →   <em>µ</em> = (80 N)/(196 N) ≈ 0.408

Moving at constant speed, there is a kinetic friction force of 40 N opposing the object's motion, so that the coefficient of <u>kinetic</u> friction <em>ν</em> is

40 N = <em>ν</em> (196 N)   →   <em>ν</em> = (40 N)/(196 N) ≈ 0.204

And so the closest answer is C.

(Note: <em>µ</em> and <em>ν</em> are the Greek letters mu and nu)

4. X-ray radiation from diffraction and fluorescence instruments is a) Not very dangerous because the X-rays are absorbed in the
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

c) Very dangerous and users must not override devices designed to protect from exposures.

Explanation:

X-ray is a form of high energy electromagnetic radiation and are part of the electromagnetic spectrum.

X-ray radiation from diffraction and fluorescence instruments is very dangerous because of their high energy and wavelength.

Hence, users must not override devices designed to protect from exposures. The best shielding device to protect one from exposure is Lead.
