Answer:

An Element

Explanation:

Such substance cannot be an element because an element cannot be chemically disintegrated (i.e it cannot be disintegrated via chemical reaction).

During the fall, the potential energy stored in the ball is converted into kinetic energy.
Thus,

Two small diameter, 10gm dielectric balls can slide freely on a vertical channel each carry a negative charge of 1microcoulomb.

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

The distance of separation is $d = 0.092 \ m$

Explanation:

The mass of the each ball is $m= 10 g = 0.01 \ kg$

The negative charge on each ball is $q_1 =q_2=q = 1 \mu C = 1 *10^{-6} \ C$

Now we are told that the lower ball is restrained from moving this implies that the net force acting on it is zero

Hence the gravitational force acting on the lower ball is equivalent to the electrostatic force i.e

$F = \frac{kq_1 * q_2}{d}$

=> $m* g = \frac{kq_1 * q_2}{d}$

here k the the coulomb's constant with a value $k = 9*10^{9} \ kg\cdot m^3\cdot s^{-4}\cdot A^2.$

$0.01 * 9.8 = \frac{ 9*10^9 *[1*10^{-6} * 1*10^{-6}]}{d}$

$d = 0.092 \ m$

a child hits a ball with a force of 350 N. (a) If the ball and bat are in contact for 0.12 is, what impulse does the ball receiv

Lina20 [59]

Explanation:

Given that,

Force with which a child hits a ball is 350 N

Time of contact is 0.12 s

We need to find the impulse received by the ball. The impulse delivered is given by :

$J=F\times t\\\\J=350\times 0.12\\\\J=42\ N-m$

So, the impulse is 42 N-m..

We know that he change in momentum is also equal to the impulse delivered.

So, impulse = 42 N-m and change in momentum =42 N-m.

Two sources emit beams of light of wavelength 550 nm. The light from source A has an intensity of 10 μW/m2, and the light from s

alexira [117]

Answer:

<em>A) Beam B carries twice as many photons per second as beam A.</em>

Explanation:

If we have two waves with the same wavelength, then their intensity is proportional to their power, or the energy per unit time.

We also know that the amount of photon present in an electromagnetic beam is proportional to the energy of the beam, hence the amount of beam per second is proportional to the power.

With these two facts, we can say that the intensity is a measure of the amount of photon per second in an electromagnetic beam. So we can say that <em>beam B carries twice as more power than beam A, or Beam B carries twice as many photons per second as beam A.</em>

Determine the maximum weight of the bucket that the wire system can support so that no single wire develops a tension exceeding

stellarik [79]

Let there be N number of wires.

Maximum tension a wire can withstand = 100 lb

so, Total tension N wires can withstand = 100 N

now, total tension in N wires = Maximum weight of bucket

100 N = W

so, W = 100N

W is the weight of bucket and 100N is its maximum value.
