Hello
It is called lightning. Lightning in a storm occurs when there are two regions (it can be cloud-cloud or cloud-ground), one with a strong excess of positive charges and the other one with a strong excess of negative charges. The two types of charge attract each other, and then a sudden flow of charges from one region to the other occurs, which is called lightning.

The layers that make up the upper mantle are the following.

  • The lithosphere and the asthenosphere.
  • The lithosphere and the asthenosphere are the layers that make up the upper mantle.
  • The rocky outer part of the Earth is called the lithosphere.
  • It is very rigid, solid, and it is not as hot as the other parts.
  • According to scientists, its thickness is about 90 to 100 kilometers from the surface of the earth.
  • The layer of the Earth that moves the lithospheric plates is called the asthenosphere.
  • Lithospheric plates are 60 miles long on average and are composed of continental crust.

We conclude that the lithosphere and the asthenosphere are the layers that make up the upper mantle. The new lithosphere is being created at oceanic ridges due to plate tectonics. Yes, planet Earth is getting larger constantly.

A proton and an electron are fixed in space with a separation of 859 nm. Calculate the electric potential at the midpoint betwee
makkiz [27]

Answer:

The electric potential at the midpoint between the two particles is 3.349 X 10⁻³ Volts

Explanation:

Electric potential is given as;

V = E*r

where;

E is the electric field strength, = kq/r²

V = ( kq/r²)*r

V = kq/r

k is coulomb's constant = 8.99 X 10⁹ Nm²/C²

q is the charge of the particles = 1.6 X 10⁻¹⁹ C

r is the distance between the particles = 859 nm

At midpoint, the distance = r/2 = 859nm/2 = 429.5 nm

V = (8.99 X 10⁹  * 1.6 X 10⁻¹⁹)/ (429.5 X 10⁻⁹)

V = 3.349 X 10⁻³ Volts

Therefore, the electric potential at the midpoint between the two particles is 3.349 X 10⁻³ Volts

What happens to centripetal acceleration as the radius of curvature decreases and the speed is constant, and why
lutik1710 [3]
It increases, because the centripetal acceleration is inversely proportional to the radius of the curvature.
