The work W done by the electric field in moving the proton is equal to the difference in electric potential energy of the proton between its initial location and its final location, therefore:
W= qV_i - qV_f
where q is the charge of the proton, q=1 e = 1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C, with e being the elementary charge, and V_i = +125 V and V_f = -55 V are the initial and final voltage.

Substituting, we get (in electronvolts):
W=e(125 V-(-55 V))=180 eV
and in Joule:
W=(1.6 \cdot 10^{-19})(125 V-(-55V))=2.88 \cdot 10^{-17}J

A researcher measures the thickness of a layer of benzene (n = 1.50) floating on water by shining monochromatic light onto the f
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

This problem relates to interference of light in thin films .

The condition of bright fringe in thin films which is sandwitched by two layers of medium having lesser refractive index  is as follows.

2nt = (2n+1) λ / 2  , n is refractive index of thin layer , t is its thickness ,  λ is wavelength of light .

2 x 1.5 t = λ / 2 , if n = 0 for minimum thickness.

2 x 1.5 t = 600 / 2 nm

t = 100 nm .

1. Who first published the classification of the elements that is the basis of our periodic table today?
Gre4nikov [31]
That particular group of elements is reffered to as the "Noble Gasses"--a title that comes from the fact that these gases are very "secure" and don't mix well with other elements.

A spring with spring constant 450 N/m is stretched by 12 cm. What distance is required to double the amount of potential energy
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

<em> The distance required = 16.97 cm</em>

Explanation:

Hook's Law

From Hook's law, the potential energy stored in a stretched spring

E = 1/2ke² ......................... Equation 1

making e the subject of the equation,

e = √(2E/k)........................ Equation 2

Where E = potential Energy of the stretched spring, k = elastic constant of the spring, e = extension.

Given: k = 450 N/m, e = 12 cm = 0.12 m.

E = 1/2(450)(0.12)²

E = 225(0.12)²

E = 3.24 J.

When the potential energy is doubled,

I.e E = 2×3.24

E = 6.48 J.

Substituting into equation 2,

e = √(2×6.48/450)

e = √0.0288

e = 0.1697 m

<em>e = 16.97 cm</em>

<em>Thus the distance required = 16.97 cm</em>
