A student is investigating charging a neutral electroscope through induction and grounding. The student brings a negatively charged rod near the neutral electroscope then touches the electroscope to ground it. A student then brings a positively charged rod near another neutral electroscope then touches the electroscope to ground it. charge because electrons have charge the ground hand, the second electroscope will have a because the electrons have moved the ground hand.

(a) Triply charged uranium-235 and uranium-238 ions are being separated in a mass spectrometer. (The much rarer uranium-235 is used as reactor fuel.) The masses of the ions are 3.901025kgand3.9510-25kg.respectively, and they travel at 3.0105m/sina0.250Tfield What is the separation between their paths 1en they hit a target after traversing a semicircle? (b) Discuss whether this distance between their paths seems to be big from uranium-238. enough to be practical in the separation of uranium-235
A magneto is used to cause the spark in a spark plug in many lawn mowers today. A magneto consists of a permanent magnet mounted on a flywheel so that it spins past a fixed coil. Explain how this arrangement generates a large enough potential difference to cause the spark.
Use the result from Challenge land the equation for centripetal force from Chapter 2 to compute the speed of the electron as it moves around the proton. The electron’s mass is kg.
Loud thunder claps frequently accompany lightning discharges. Give a description of how scientists believe thunder is produced during a lightning storm.
Integrated Concepts Calculate the angular velocity ? of an electron orbiting a proton in the hydrogen atom, given the radius of the orbit is 0.53 10-10 m. You may assume that the proton is stationary and the centripetal force is supplied by Coulomb attraction.
A cyclometer is a device mounted on a bicycle that records and displays trip information such as elapsed time, distance traveled, and average speed. Modern versions employ small magnets attached to a spoke on either the front or rear wheel and a sensor located on the front fork or rear frame. As the magnet is carried past the detector once each wheel revolution, it produces an electrical pulse that is recorded and logged by an integrated circuit in the device. The distance traveled equals the total number of revolutions multiplied by the circumference of the wheel. (a) A typical mountain bike has a wheel diameter of 26 in. How far will a cyclist have traveled in both miles and kilometers if her cyclometer indicates that her front wheel has made 25,000 revolutions during her trip? (b) If the cyclometer clock shows that the elapsed time for the trip was 2 hours and 40 minutes, what was the rider’s average speed during this period?
In regions of low humidity, one develops a special "grip” when opening car doors, or touching metal door knobs. This involves placing as much of the hand on the device as possible, not just the ends of one’s fingers. Discuss the induced charge and explain why this is done.
