The distance between a proton and an electron is cut in half. How does the force of attraction change?

According to Coulomb’s Law, the force will quadruple.

However…

Let’s assume, for the sake of argument, that both proton and electron behave entirely like particles.

The trajectory of the electron will stretch, and its distance from the nucleus will oscilate until is estabilizes again at the original value.

fiasKO [112]
Applying force all the time is bad for you body, the object, and the environment and how it looks at you. First of all, you could strain, break, fracture, you name it, to your bones and muscles. Second of all, you could manage to break that object, not even move it. For example, say you have to move a heavy object to save the town from almost flooding and you strain or break your arm. To society or the people watching you do this, you look like a wimp or you're not strong. Then you have a bad reputation in the people's eyes and you get picked on or bullied because of that. You don't have move that object. You could find a way to work around the object and get simpler ways that only you thought of at the time.

The escape speed from a very small asteroid is only 24 m/s. If you throw a rock away from the asteroid at a speed of 30 m/s, wha
svp [43]

Given Information:  

Initial speed of rock = vi = 30 m/s  

escape speed of the asteroid = ve = 24 m/s  

Required Information:  

final speed of rock = vf = ?

Answer:  

vf = 18 m/s

Explanation:  

As we know from the conservation of energy

KEf + Uf = KEi + Ui

Where KE is the kinetic energy and U is the potential energy

0 + 0 = ½mve² - GMm/R

When escape speed is used, KEf is zero due to vf being zero. Uf is zero because the object is very far away from mass M, therefore, the equation becomes

GMm/R = ½mve²

m cancels out

GM/R = ½ve²

GM/R = ½(24)²

GM/R = 288

KEf + Uf = KEi + Ui

½mvi² + 0 =  ½vf² - GMm/R

m cancels out

½vi² =  ½vf² - GM/R

Substitute the values

½(30)² =  ½vf² - (288)

½vf² = 450 - 288

vf² = 2(162)

vf = √324

vf = 18 m/s

Therefore, the final speed of the rock is 18 m/s

A layer cake profile of different soil types is exposed when we dig into the earth. Geologists reason that these layers were lai
Len [333]

The layer cake profile of different soil types having older soil type at the bottom of the layer is proved by the law of superposition.

Explanation:

The literal meaning of the word superposition means arranging one over the other. So the first generation soil or rocks will be deposited first on the mantle followed by the coming generation of soils and rocks. Due to different kinds of disasters like tides, earthquake, soil erosion etc., the new soil or rocks coming from any other region will get deposited on the surface of the old soil layer just like a layer cake format.

So the presence of older soil in the bottom most part of the mantle and the youngest soil or rock in the topmost surface of Earth is proved by the law of superposition.
