Which correctly describes electric potential, electric field, and electric (or electrostatic) force?
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

E

Explanation:

A vector is a physical quantity that has magnitude and direction while a scalar is a physical quantity that has magnitude only

*electric potential is a scalar quantity because it only has magnitude

*electric field and electric force are vector quantities because they have magnitude and direction

A soap bubble, when illuminated at normal incidence with light of 463 nm, appears to be especially reflective. If the index of r
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

the minimum thickness the soap film can be if it is surrounded by air is 85.74 nm

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

wavelength of light; λ = 463 nm = 463 × 10⁻⁹ m

Index of refraction; n = 1.35

Now, the thinnest thickness of the soap film can be determined from the following expression;

t_{min = ( λ / 4n )

so we simply substitute in our given values;

t_{min = ( 463 × 10⁻⁹ m ) / 4(1.35)

t_{min = ( 463 × 10⁻⁹ m ) / 5.4

t_{min = ( 463 × 10⁻⁹ m ) / 4(1.35)

t_{min = 8.574 × 10⁻⁸ m

t_{min = 85.74 × 10⁻⁹ m

t_{min = 85.74 nm

Therefore, the minimum thickness the soap film can be if it is surrounded by air is 85.74 nm

A proton of mass m is at rest when it is suddenly struck head-on by an alpha particle (which consistsof 2 protons and 2 neutrons
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

3/5 v

Explanation:

The computation of speed will the alpha particle have after the collision is shown below:-

In a perfectly elastic the kinetic energy and collision the momentum are considered.

The velocity of the particles defines the below equation:

VA_f=(\frac{m_A-m_B}{m_A+m_B})VA_i+(\frac{2m_B}{m_A+m_B})VB_i

As we know that

VA_i=v

\\VB_i=0

Here, we consider A is the alpha particle and B is the proton and now by the above values we can solve the equation which is below:-

VA_f=(\frac{4m-m}{4m+m})v

\\VA_f=\frac{3m}{5m}v

\\VA_f=\frac{3}{5}v

Therefore the correct answer is \frac{3}{5}v

A golf ball is hit with a golf club. While the ball flies through the air, which forces act on the ball? Neglect air resistance.
34kurt

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the equation related to the Gravitational Force, the equation describes that

F = \frac{GMm}{r^2}

Where,

G = Gravitational Universal Constant

M = Mass of Earth (or Bigger star)

m = Mass of Object  (or smallest star)

r = Radius

From the statement we know that once the impact is made, the golf ball is subjected to the forces that are exerted in nature. Since the air resistance, which would represent the drag force, is ignored. Only the forces related to gravity remain.

The gravitational force carries 'pushes' or 'attracts' the body towards the earth, while the speed decreases as it reaches its maximum height.

When the ball has reached its maximum height only the force of gravity begins to act on it, generating the attraction to the earth in parabolic motion.

Therefore the correct answer is B.
