Answer:

The pressure of the box on the floor is 200 Pa

Explanation:

Given,

Length of the box=0.5m

Width of the box= 0.1m

∴Area of the box, A= (0.5 X 0.1) sq.m

                                = 0.05 sq.m

We know,

Pressure, P= F/A

                  = 10/0.05 Pa

                  = 200 Pa

∴The pressure of the box on the floor is 200 Pa

tekilochka [14]

To solve this problem we will start from the definition of Force, as the product between the electric field and the proton charge. Once the force is found, it will be possible to apply Newton's second law, and find the proton acceleration, knowing its mass. Finally, through the linear motion kinematic equation we will find the speed of the proton.

PART A ) For the electrostatic force we have that is equal to

F=qE

Here

q= Charge

E = Electric Force

F=(1.6*10^{-19}C)(2750N/C)

F = 4.4*10^{-16}N

PART B) Rearrange the expression F=ma for the acceleration

a = \frac{F}{m}

Here,

a = Acceleration

F = Force

m = Mass

Replacing,

a = \frac{4.4*10^{-16}N}{1.67*10^{-27}kg}

a = 2.635*10^{11}m/s^2

PART C) Acceleration can be described as the speed change in an instant of time,

a = \frac{v_f-v_i}{t}

There is not v_i then

a = \frac{v_f}{t}

Rearranging to find the velocity,

v_f = at

v_f = (2.635*10^{11})(1.4*10^{-6})

v_f = 3.689*10^{5}m/s

Are most main sequence stars larger or smaller than the sun?
timama [110]

Answer: Main sequence stars fuse hydrogen atoms to form helium atoms in their cores. About 90 percent of the stars in the universe, including the sun, are main sequence stars. These stars can range from about a tenth of the mass of the sun to up to 200 times as massive.

1. What happens in the process of radioactive decay? What is the half-life of a radioactive substance, and how is it used to dat
Ierofanga [76]
<span> In radioactive decay, an unstable atomic nucleus emits particles or radiation and converts to a different atomic nucleus. If the new nucleus is unstable, it will decay again, until eventually, a stable nucleus is formed. Such a sequence of nuclear decays forms a decay series.

The half-life of a radioactive substance is the time required for half of the atoms of a radioactive isotope to decay. If you have, say, 1 million atoms of a specific isotope in a sample, the time required for 500,000 of those atoms to decay is the half-life of that specific isotope. If you have 50 atoms of that isotope, 25 atoms will decay in the same amount of time.

Because the half-life is fixed for a specific isotope, it can be used to date objects. You compare the decay rate of an old object with the decay rate of a fresh sample. Nuclear decay is a first-order process and can be described by a specific mathematical equation, which depends on the decay rate and the half-life. Knowing those values, you can work back and determine the age of an object, as compared with a standard sample. Old objects will not have as much of a radioactive isotope in them as new objects, since the isotopes will have decayed over time in the old object.</span>
