The charges are the same in absolute value, so the change of potential energy is the same. That means that the change in kinetic energy is also the same. Then:

1 = Ke/Kp = m_e *v_e^2 / m_p * v_p^2, or

v_e/v_p = sqrt( m_p/m_e),

So the speed of the electron will be sqrt( m_p/m_e) times greater than the speed of the proton

Someone tells you that scientific knowledge cannot be changed or modified. How would you answer this statement?
mixer [17]
Scientific knowledge can be modified. This is because all the scientific principles that are existing now is not certain for all possible conditions. Scientific knowledge is not directly given to us, human minds work the effort of unveiling the unknown. Thus, scientists are slowly discovering the science of all natural phenomena. Along the way, they could come up with misinterpretations. Let me give a concrete example. When J.J. Thompson proposed the Plum-Pudding model, it was the widely accepted theory in the field of atomic science. However, when Rutherford did his golden foil experiment, he disproved Thompson's model and proposed the Planetary Model. Therefore, scientific knowledge is an ongoing process. Scientists would always want to disprove each other, not because they want to compete with each other. They want to discover the truth together with what they have to the best of their abilities. They are never content with just one simple principle according to one scientist. It will always be verified by a group of fellow scientists.

In the 21st century where technology is exponentially progressing, scientists would discover more of the basic principles. Hence, we would expect that scientific knowledge is constantly changing and modifying.

The law of universal gravitation states that a gravitational force exists between all objects in the universe. This force is dir
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

D. It has been demonstrated to be without exception under certain stated conditions.

Explanation:

A principle is simply a proposition based on some results from some experiments. A principle becomes a law when it gains strength. That is when other scientists support and back it.

A scientific law is a statement that describes a natural phenomenon and is not contradicted by repeated experiments over the time.

Sir Isaac Newton's law of gravitation stated "A gravitational force exists between all objects in the universe. This force is directly proportional to the masses of the two objects and inversely proportional to the distance between them."

His law explained that every body in the universe attracts every other body. It explained that it is not just Earth that pulls us towards it. But even sun and moon has their own gravitational pull and so does all other objects. It is just that the Gravitational pull of some objects is negligible.

Newton's law of Gravitation is considered a universal law because it is applicable to almost all the bodies in the universe and is demonstrated to be correct for them under certain conditions.

How do you convert mass to weight and visa versa
Darina [25.2K]
To change from mass to weight is Fw = 30 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 294 N. To change from weight to mass divide by gravity (9.8 m/s^2).
