The answer is B. magnesium I am pretty sure
How would you describe the behavior of particles in a solid?
Answer:
4 m/s² down
Explanation:
We'll begin by calculating the net force acting on the object.
The net force acting on the object from the left and right side is zero because the same force is applied on both sides.
Next, we shall determine the net force acting on the object from the up and down side. This can be obtained as follow:
Force up (Fᵤ) = 15 N
Force down (Fₔ) = 25 N
Net force (Fₙ) =?
Fₙ = Fₔ – Fᵤ
Fₙ = 25 – 15
Fₙ = 10 N down
Finally, we shall determine the acceleration of the object. This can be obtained as follow:
Mass (ml= 2.5 Kg
Net force (Fₙ) = 10 N down
Acceleration (a) =?
Fₙ = ma
10 = 2.5 × a
Divide both side by 2.5
a = 10 / 2.5
a = 4 m/s² down
Therefore, the acceleration of the object is 4 m/s² down
Answer:
Strong nuclear force is 1-2 order of magnitude larger than the electrostatic force
Explanation:
There are mainly two forces acting between protons and neutrons in the nucleus:
- The electrostatic force, which is the force exerted between charged particles (therefore, it is exerted between protons only, since neutrons are not charged). The magnitude of the force is given by

where k is the Coulomb's constant, q1 and q2 are the charges of the two particles, r is the separation between the particles.
The force is attractive for two opposite charges and repulsive for two same charges: therefore, the electrostatic force between two protons is repulsive.
- The strong nuclear force, which is the force exerted between nucleons. At short distance (such as in the nucleus), it is attractive, therefore neutrons and protons attract each other and this contributes in keeping the whole nucleus together.
At the scale involved in the nucleus, the strong nuclear force (attractive) is 1-2 order of magnitude larger than the electrostatic force (repulsive), therefore the nucleus stays together and does not break apart.
