Two electrons are initially at rest separated by a distance of 2nm. At time t=0, they start to move apart due to Coulombic repul

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

$t=2.5\times 10^{-14}\ s$

Explanation:

We know that charge on electron

$q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

r= 2 nm

We know that force between two charge given

$F=K\dfrac{Q_1Q_2}{r^2}$

Now by putting the value

$F=9\times10^9\dfrac{1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{(2\times 10^{-9})^2}$

$F=5.67\times 10^{-11}\ N$

We know that mass of electron

The mass of electron

$m=9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg$

F= m a

a= Acceleration of electron

a= F/m

$a=\dfrac{5.67\times 10^{-11}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}\ m/s^2$

$a=6.2\times 10^{19} m/s^2$

$S=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

initial velocity given that zero ,u=0

$20\times 10^{-9}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 6.2\times 10^{19} t^2$

$t=\sqrt {\dfrac{40\times 10^{-9}}{6.2\times 10^{19}}}$

$t=2.5\times 10^{-14}\ s$

Write a hypothesis about how the number of half-lives affects the number of radioactive atoms. Use the "if . . . then . . . beca

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Answer:

Explanation:

The half life is the time taken for half of a radioactive substance to disintegrate.

The shorter the half life, the larger the decay constant and the faster the decay process.

For a very large half life, it would take a very long time for the radioactive nuclide to decay to half.

With each half life reached, a new set of daughter cell is formed. Atoms that have short half life would decay rapidly. Every radionuclide has its own characteristic half-life.

If the number of half-lives increases, then the number of radioactive atoms decreases, because approximately half of the atoms' nuclei decay with each half-life. With this observation, we can hypothesise and conduct experiment to support the assertion that as the number of half-lives increases then the number of radioactive atoms decreases.

A distant planet with a mass of (7.2000x10^26) has a moon with a mass of (5.0000x10^23). The distance between the planet and the

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is a simple gravitational force problem using the equation:

$F_g=\frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}$ where F is the gravitational force, G is the universal gravitational constant, the m's are the masses of the2 objects, and r is the distance between the centers of the masses. I am going to state G to 3 sig fig's so that is the number of sig fig's we will have in our answer. If we are solving for the gravitational force, we can fill in everything else where it goes. Keep in mind that I am NOT rounding until the very end, even when I show some simplification before the final answer.

Filling in:

$F_g=\frac{(6.67*19^{-11})(7.2000*10^{26})(5.0000*10^{23})}{(6.10*10^{11})^2}$ I'm going to do the math on the top and then on the bottom and divide at the end.

$F_g=\frac{2.4012*10^{40}}{3.721*10^{23}}$ and now when I divide I will express my answer to the correct number of sig dig's:

$Fg=$ 6.45 × 10¹⁶ N

Julie wants to know if adding calcium fertilizer to tomato plants will help prevent a disease of tomato plants called blossom-en

Ksivusya [100]

It's not true.

The crucial principle for a scientific experiment is to keep only ONE variable at a time.

In this case, the variable of this experiment is actually the tomato is in sunny part or in shady part, instead of whether applying Ca fertilizer.
