Answer:

0.055 N

Explanation:

From coulomb's law,

F α 1/r²

F = k/r²

F₁r₁² = F₂r₂²......................... Equation 1

Where F₁ = Initial force, r₁ = initial distance, F₂ = Final force, r₂ = Final distance.

making F₂ the subject of the equation

F₂ = F₁r₁²/r₂²..................... Equation 2

Given: F₁ = 5.50 N.

Let: r₁ = x m, then r₂= 10x m

Substitute into equation 2

F₂ = 5.5(x²)/(10x)²

F₂ = 5.5x²/100x²

F₂ = 5.5/100

F₂ = 0.055 N.

Hence the force becomes 0.055 N

A proton with mass 1.67*10^-27kg is propelled at an initialspeed of 3.00*10^5m/s directly toward a uranium nucleus 5.00maway. Th
Tresset [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

F = 2.12 x 10⁻²⁶ / x²

Work done by electric field of nucleus

W = ∫ Fdx

= ∫2.12 x 10⁻²⁶ / x² dx

= 2.12 x 10⁻²⁶ ( - 1 / x )

= - 2.12 x 10⁻²⁶ ( 1/5 - 1 / 8 x 10⁻¹⁰ )

= - .265 x 10⁻¹⁶ J

1/ 2 x mv² = .5 x 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ x 9 x 10¹⁰ - .265 x 10⁻¹⁶

= 7.515 x 10⁻¹⁷ - .265 x 10⁻¹⁶

=( .7515 - .265 )x 10⁻¹⁶

= .4865 x 10⁻¹⁶

.5 x 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ x v² = .4865 x 10⁻¹⁶

v² = .5826 x 10¹¹

v² = 5.826 x 10¹⁰

v = 2.41 x 10⁵ m /s

b )

Let r be the closest distance

Potential at this point

2.12 x 10⁻²⁶ (  1 / r )

Kinetic energy

= 0

Total energy = 2.12 x 10⁻²⁶ (  1 / r )

Total energy at 5 m

= .5 x 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ x 9 x 10¹⁰ + 0 ( potential energy at 5 m will be negligible as compared with that near the center )

= 7.515 x 10⁻¹⁷ J

So ,

2.12 x 10⁻²⁶ (  1 / r ) = 7.515 x 10⁻¹⁷

r = 2.12 x 10⁻²⁶ / 7.515 x 10⁻¹⁷

= .282 x 10⁻⁹

= 2.82 x 10⁻¹⁰ m

c ) As electric field is conservative , no dissipation of energy takes place . Hence its speed at 5m on returning back to this point will be same as

3.00 x 10⁵ m /s

Neko [114]

Answer:

Explanation:

Energy of radiation in eV = 1237.5/280 = 4.42 eV.

Work function = 2.65 eV.

Maximum kinetic energy = 4.42 - 2.65 = 1.77 eV.

What influence do culture and customs have on beliefs about mental disorders? Customs really don't determine what is considered
Mumz [18]

Answer:

The culture of the patient, also known as the consumer of mental health services, influences many aspects of mental health, mental illness, and patterns of health care utilization. One important cautionary note, however, is that general statements about cultural characteristics of a given group may invite stereotyping of individuals based on their appearance or affiliation. Because there is usually more diversity within a population than there is between populations (e.g., in terms of level of acculturation, age, income, health status, and social class), information in the following sections should not be treated as stereotypes to be broadly applied to any individual member of a racial, ethnic, or cultural group.
