No, he did not perform any work. Work is when you’re using energy which results in a force. Even though he was tired and sweaty, he did not move the boulder. So therefore he did not perform any work.

What is the force between two proton’s that are 0.005m apart?
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

Force, F=9.21\times 10^{-24}\ N

Explanation:

Distance between proton is 0.005 m

It is required to find the force between two protons. Protons have of positive charge of 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C. Two protons will have a force of repulsion between them. The force is given by :

F=\dfrac{kq^2}{r^2}\\\\F=\dfrac{9\times 10^9\times (1.6\times 10^{-19})^2}{(0.005)^2}\\\\F=9.21\times 10^{-24}\ N

So, the force between two protons is 9.21\times 10^{-24}\ N.

How much total surface of the moon is illuminated by the sun when it is at quarter phase?
alex41 [277]
50% of the moon is always illuminated, however during it's quarter phase means that we only see a quarter of what's really lit up. So it LOOKS like the moon is only 25% lit and 75% dark, it's truly 50/50. We only see that 25% since we can see it from one angle.

Which explains why more energy is released in nuclear reactions than in chemical reactions? Chemical reactions are always endoth
Natali [406]
More energy is released in nuclear reactions than in chemical reactions; this is because in nuclear reactions, mass is converted to energy. Nuclear energy released in nuclear fission and fusion is several 100 million times as large as an ordinary chemical reaction like the combustion process. The reason why nuclear energy release so much energy is because tremendous amounts of energy is released at one time. The nuclei in a nuclear reaction undergo a chain reaction, causing the neutrons to move extremely fast and release high amounts of energy.
