The answer is C. An oxygen atom in heavy water has an extra neutron.

I say this because heavy water is also water, but it contains a higher proportion of the hydrogen isotope – deuterium. Two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom makes a water molecule. Deuterium is very much the same as that of normal hydrogen, but contains an extra neutron.

So therefore, the answer is C.

It's
$c) \\$
normal water has only one proton while heavy water (deuterium oxide) has a proton and a neutron

Answer:

a) $U_{e} = 3 \times 10^{10}\,J$ , b) $v \approx 7745.967\,\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

a) The potential energy is:

$U_{e} = Q \cdot \Delta V$

$U_{e} = (30\,C)\cdot (1.0\times 10^{9}\,V)$

$U_{e} = 3 \times 10^{10}\,J$

b) Maximum final speed:

$U_{e} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v^{2}\\v = \sqrt{\frac{2\cdot U_{e}}{m} }$

The final speed is:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2\cdot (3 \times 10^{10}\,J)}{1000\,kg} }$

$v \approx 7745.967\,\frac{m}{s}$

An electric field from a charge has a magnitude of 1.5 × 104 N/C at a certain location that points inward. If another charge wit

zysi [14]

Answer:

-0.045 N, they will attract each other

Explanation:

The strength of the electrostatic force exerted on a charge is given by

$F=qE$

where

q is the magnitude of the charge

E is the electric field magnitude

In this problem,

$q=3.0\cdot 10^{-6}C$

$E=-1.5\cdot 10^4 N/C$ (negative because inward)

So the strength of the electrostatic force is

$F=(-3.0\cdot 10^{-6}C)(1.5\cdot 10^4 N/C)=-0.045 N$

Moreover, the charge will be attracted towards the source of the electric field. In fact, the text says that the electric field points inward: this means that the source charge is negative, so the other charge (which is positive) is attracted towards it.
