An electron and a proton are held on an x axis, with the electron at x = + 1.000 m and the proton at x = - 1.000 m.how much work

It is required an infinite work. The additional electron will never reach the origin.

In fact, assuming the additional electron is coming from the positive direction, as it approaches x=+1.00 m it will become closer and closer to the electron located at x=+1.00 m. However, the electrostatic force between the two electrons (which is repulsive) will become infinite when the second electron reaches x=+1.00 m, because the distance d between the two electrons is zero:
F=k_e  \frac{q_e q_e}{d^2}
So, in order for the additional electron to cross this point, it is required an infinite amount of work, which is impossible.

A complete circuit is often referred to as a(n) _______ circuit
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Complete Circuit

Explanation:

A circuit is defined as a completed path for voltage to flow from a source of voltage through a load and back to the source. A complete circuit or path is often referred to as a(n) ? circuit. Before current can flow in a circuit, the circuit must be closed. 100% right

What force acts between Earth and the moon?<br><br> gravity<br> mass<br> motion<br> newtons
Serggg [28]

Answer:

Gravity

Explanation:

Mass and motion are not forces and newton is unit of force. Gravity is defined as force of attraction or repulsion between two bodies and hence is the answer.

Two strong magnets were brought close to each other. They were repelling each other. Explain what must have happened.​
r-ruslan [8.4K]

When two magnets are brought together, the opposite poles will attract one another, but the like poles will repel one another. This is similar to electric charges. Like charges repel, and unlike charges attract.

As a train enters the station it slows down from 40 m/s to a 10 m/s in 5 seconds
lora16 [44]

Answer:

See the answers below.

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the following equation of kinematics.

v_{f}=v_{o}-a*t

where:

Vf = final velocity = 10 [m/s]

Vo = initial velocity = 40 [m/s]

t = time = 5 [s]

a = acceleration [m/s²]

Now replacing:

10=40-a*5\\40-10=a*5\\30=5*a\\a=6[m/s^{2}]

Note: The negative sign in the above equation means that the velecity is decreasing.

2)

To solve this second part we must use the following equation of kinematics.

v_{f}^{2} =v_{o}^{2} -2*a*x\\

where:

x = distance [m]

(10)^{2} =(40)^{2} -2*6*x\\100=1600-12*x\\12*x=1600-100\\12*x=1500\\x=125[m]

Suppose water waves are moving from the deep end to the shallow end of the pool. That is, the waves are moving into a medium (sh
MissTica

Answer:

The waves will turn slightly to the <em><u>left .</u></em>

Explanation :

The waves will turn slightly to the left, because the left side of each wave front hits the boundary first and slows down, moving more slowly than the right side until the right side of the wave front reaches the boundary. THis causes the wave to veer slightly to the left.

  Basically the speed of water depends upon depth of the river or the ocean.

the formula is as follows :

            v =  √gxd

           v =  √d               (g is the gravitational acceleration)

As the water waves are more at the deeper end then the shallow end, so during its course to the shallower end, they are slightly deviated toward the normal., hence it will move slightly to the left.
