Answer:

F = 19.375 x 10^-6 N

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by applying Coulomb's Law, which lets us determine the force between two electrically charged particles.

It is defined as

F = (ke * q1 * q2)/ r^2

Where,

ke = is Coulomb's constant ≈ 9×10^9 N⋅m^2⋅C^−2

q1 = 5.0 x 10^-8 C

q2 = 1.0 x 10^-7 C

r = 5 ft = 1,524 m

F = (9×10^9 N⋅m^2⋅C^−2)*(5.0 x 10^-8 C)*(1.0 x 10^-7 C)/ ((1,524 m)^2)

F = 19.375 x 10^-6 N

Assume that you stay on the earth's surface. what is the ratio of the sun's gravitational force on you to the earth's gravitatio

Pachacha [2.7K]

First, let's determine the gravitational force of the Earth exerted on you. Suppose your weight is about 60 kg.

F = Gm₁m₂/d²
where
m₁ = 5.972×10²⁴ kg (mass of earth)
m₂ = 60 kg
d = 6,371,000 m (radius of Earth)
G = 6.67408 × 10⁻¹¹ m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻²

F = ( 6.67408 × 10⁻¹¹ m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻²)(60 kg)(5.972×10²⁴ kg)/(6,371,000 m )²
F = 589.18 N

Next, we find the gravitational force exerted by the Sun by replacing,
m₁ = 1.989 × 10³⁰ kg
Distance between centers of sun and earth = 149.6×10⁹ m
Thus,
d = 149.6×10⁹ m - 6,371,000 m = 1.496×10¹¹ m

Thus,
F = ( 6.67408 × 10⁻¹¹ m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻²)(60 kg)(1.989 × 10³⁰ kg)/(1.496×10¹¹ m)²
F = 0.356 N

Ratio = 0.356 N/589.18 N
Ratio = 6.04

Which of the following statements are true about an object in two-dimensional projectile motion with no air resistance? (There c

ki77a [65]

Answer:

The correct answers are

The following statements are true about an object in two-dimensional projectile motion with no air resistance

D) The speed of the object is zero at its highest point.

E) The horizontal acceleration is always zero and the vertical acceleration is always a non-zero constant downward

Explanation:

A) The speed of the object is constant but its velocity is not constant.

False the vertical velocity increases on descent

B) The acceleration of the object is constant but its object is + g when the object is rising and -g when it is falling.

False, the acceleration is -g when the object is rising

C) The acceleration of the object is zero at its highest point.

False, the acceleration is constant in magnitude throughout the motion

D) The speed of the object is zero at its highest point.

True, the direction of motion changes at the highest point from hence the body comes to rest and the speed is zero

E) The horizontal acceleration is always zero and the vertical acceleration is always a non-zero constant downward

True, the horizontal acceleration has associated force during motion but the vertical acceleration is due to gravity which is constant downwards

before colliding, the momentum of block A is +15.0 kg m/s. after, block A has a momentum -12.0 kg*m/s. what is the momentum of b

Helen [10]

Answer:

The momentum of block B = 27 Kg m/s

Explanation:

Given,

The initial momentum of block A, MU = 15 Kg m/s

The final momentum of block A, MV = -12 Kg m/s

Consider the block B is initially at rest.

Therefore, the initial momentum of block B, mu = 0

According to the laws of conservation of linear momentum, the momentum of the body before impact is equal to the momentum of the body after impact.

MU + mu = MV + mv

15 + (0) = (-12) + mv

mv = 15 + 12

= 27 Kg m/s

Hence, the momentum of the block B after impact is, mv = 27 Kg m/s

Calculate the binding energy e of the boron nucleus 11 5b (1ev=1.602×10−19j). express your answer in millions of electron volts

nignag [31]

Depends on the precision you're working to. proton mass ~ 1.00728 amu neutron mass ~ 1.00866 amu electron mass ~ electron mass = 0.000549 amu Binding mass is: mass of constituents - mass of atom Eg for nitrogen: (7*1.00728)-(7*1.00866)-(7*0.000549) -14.003074 = 0.11235amu Binding energy is: E=mc^2 where c is the speed of light. Nuclear physics is usually done in MeV[1] where 1 amu is about 931.5MeV/c^2. So: 0.11235 * 931.5 = 104.6MeV Binding energy per nucleon is total energy divided by number of nucleons. 104.6/14 = 7.47MeV This is probably about right; it sounds like the right size! Do the same thing for D/E/F and recheck using your numbers & you shouldn't go far wrong :) 1 - have you done this? MeV is Mega electron Volts, where one electronVolt (or eV) is the change in potential energy by moving one electron up a 1 volt potential. ie energy = charge * potential, so 1eV is about 1.6x10^-19J (the same number as the charge of an electron but in Joules). It's a measure of energy, but by E=mc^2 you can swap between energy and mass using the c^2 factor. Most nuclear physicists report mass in units of MeV/c^2 - so you know that its rest mass energy is that number in MeV.
