There are Z protons in the nucleus of an atom, where Z is the atomic number of the element. An α particle carries a charge of +2

e. In a scattering experiment, an α particle, heading directly toward a nucleus in a metal foil, will come to a halt when all of the particle's kinetic energy is converted to electric potential energy. In such a situation, how close will the center of an α particle with a kinetic energy of 6.4 x 10-13 J come to the center of a gold nucleus (Z = 79)?

A simple harmonic wave of wavelength 18.7 cm and amplitude 2.34 cm is propagating along a string in the negative x-direction at
Ostrovityanka [3204]

Answer

Given:

Wavelength = λ = 18.7 cm

                  = 0.187 m

Amplitude, A = 2.34 cm

Velocity, v = 0.38 m/s

A)  Calculate the angular frequency.

     f = \dfrac{v}{\lambda}

     f = \dfrac{0.38}{0.187}

     f =2.03\ Hz

Angular frequency,

ω = 2π f

ω = 2π x 2.03

ω = 12.75 rad/s

B) Calculate the wave number:

      K = \dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}

     K= \dfrac{2\pi}{0.187}

    K =33.59\ m^{-1}

C)

Since the wave is traveling in the -x direction, the sign is positive between x and t

y (x, t) = A sin(k x - ω t)

y (x, t) = 2.34 sin(33.59 x - 12.75 t)

Charge is placed on two conducting spheres that are very far apart and connected by a long thin wire. The radius of the smaller
Softa [3030]

Answer:

σ₁ = 3.167 * 10^{-6} C/m²

σ₂ = 7.6 * 10 ^{-6}  C/m²

Explanation:

Provided Information:

i) Smaller sphere's radius ( r ) = 5 cm.

ii) Larger sphere's radius ( R ) = 12 cm.

iii) Electric field at the larger sphere's surface  ( E₁ ) = 358 kV/m, which is equivalent to 358 * 1000 v/m

E_{1} = (\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon }) (\frac{Q_{1} }{R^{2} } )

358000 = 9 * 10^{9 } *\frac{Q_{1} }{0.12^{2} }

Charge (Q₁) = 572.8 * 10^{-9} C

Since the electric field inside a conductor is zero, the electric potential ( V ) remains constant.

V = constant

∴\frac{Q_{1} }{R} = \frac{Q_{2} }{r}

Q_{2} = \frac{r}{R} *Q_{1}

Q_{2} = \frac{5}{12} *572.8*10^{-9}   = 238.666 *10^{-9} C

Surface charge density ( σ₁ ) for the larger sphere.

Calculated Area ( A₁ )  = 4 * π * R²  = 4 * 3.14 * 0.12 = 0.180864 m².

σ₁  = \frac{Q_{1} }{A_{1} } = \frac{572.8 *10^{-9} }{0.180864} = 3.167 * 10^{-6}  C/m².

Surface charge density ( σ₂ ) for the smaller sphere.

Calculated Area ( A₂ )  = 4 * π * r²  = 4 * 3.14 * 0.05²  = 0.0314 m².

σ₂ =\frac{Q_{2} }{A_{2} } = \frac{238.66 *10^{-9} }{0.0314} = 7.6 * 10 ^{-6} C/m²

Which phrase describes an atom?
kicyunya [3294]
<span>an atom is described as having a negatively charged electron cloud surrounding a positively charged nucleus, which is the correct choice.</span><span>

The nucleus contains electrically neutral neutrons and positively charged protons, establishing its positive charge. In contrast, electrons carry a negative charge. The electromagnetic force keeps the atoms bound to the nucleus.

James Cameron piloted a submersible craft to the bottom of the Challenger Deep, the deepest point on the ocean's floor, 11,000 m
serg [3582]

Answer:

4.1\cdot 10^8 N

Explanation:

To begin with, we must determine the pressure acting on the sphere, which is calculated using:

p=p_0 + \rho g h

where

p_0 =1.01\cdot 10^5 Pa denotes the atmospheric pressure

\rho = 1000 kg/m^3 represents the density of the water

g=9.8 m/s^2 signifies the acceleration due to gravity

h=11,000 m indicates the depth

By substituting these values,

p=1.01\cdot 10^5 Pa + (1000 kg/m^3)(9.8 m/s^2)(11,000 m)=1.08\cdot 10^8 Pa

The sphere's radius is calculated as r = d/2 = 1.1 m/2 = 0.55 m

Thus, the sphere's total surface area can be expressed as

A=4 \pi r^2 = 4 \pi (0.55 m)^2=3.8 m^2

Consequently, the inward force acting on the sphere equals

F=pA=(1.08\cdot 10^8 Pa)(3.8 m^2)=4.1\cdot 10^8 N
