The Moon's gravity pulls on Earth's oceans and distorts them, causing tides. The water on the side of Earth closest to the Moon experiences the biggest pull, and bulges outward. The water on the opposite side also bulges, and the two bulges follow the Moon's motion and Earth's rotation.

An electron (charge −e=−1.60×10−19C−e=−1.60×10−19C) is at rest at a distance 1.00×10−10 m 1.00×10−10m from the center of a nucle

Answer:

$-9.45\times10^{-16} \text{ J}$

Explanation:

According to Coulomb's law, the force of attraction between two point charges, $q_1$ and $q_2$ , separated by a distance $d$ is given by

$F = k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{d^2}$

$k$ is a constant with a value of $9\times10^9\text{ F/m}$ .

When we substitute the values from the question,

$F = (9\times10^9\text{ F/m})\dfrac{(-1.60\times10^{-19} \text{ C})\times(+1.31\times10^{-17}\text{ C})}{(1.00\times10^{-10}\text{ m})^2} = -1.89\times10^{-6} \text{ N}$

This value is negative because it is in a direction towards the positive charge.

The work done in moving the electron from the nucleus is

$W = F\times r$

$W = (-1.89\times 10^{-6} \text{ N})\times(5.00\times10^{-10}\text{ m}) = -9.45\times10^{-16} \text{ J}$

This is negative because work is done on the electron, not by it.

Explain why sugar was used in this experiment. How does the experiment relate to a baker adding yeast to bread to make it rise?

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

Yeast can use oxygen to release the energy from sugar (like you can) in the process called "respiration". ... So, the more sugar there is, the more active the yeast will be and the faster its growth (up to a certain point - even yeast cannot grow in very strong sugar - such as honey).
