A neutron consists of one "up" quark of charge +2e/3 and two "down" quarks each having charge -e/3. If we assume that the down q

uarks are 4.6 × 10-15 m apart inside the neutron, what is the magnitude of the electrostatic force between them?

Answer:

The magnitude of the electrostatic force is 120.85 N

Explanation:

We can use Coulomb's law to find the electrostatic force between the down quarks.

In scalar form, Coulomb's law states that for charges q_1 and q_2 separated by a distance d, the magnitude of the electrostatic force F between them is:

F = k \frac{|q_1q_2|}{d^2}

where k is Coulomb's constant.

Taking the values:

d = 4.6 \ 10^{-15} m

q_1 = q_2 = - \frac{e}{3} = - \frac{1.6 \ 10^{-19} \ C}{3}

and knowing the value of the Coulomb's constant:

k = 8.99 \ 10 ^{9} \frac{N m^2}{C^2}

Taking all this in consideration:

F = 8.99 \ 10 ^{9} \frac{N m^2}{C^2} \frac{ (- \frac{1.6 \ 10^{-19} \ C}{3} ) ^2}{(4.6 \ 10^{-15} m)^2}

F = 120.85  \ N

The minimum potential difference must be supplied by the ignition circuit to start a car is -1800 V

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given data,

E= 3 ×10 ⁶ Δx=0.06/100

We have to find the minimum potential difference

E= -ΔV/Δx

ΔV=- E × Δx

ΔV =-3 ×10 ⁶ . 0.06/100

ΔV=-1800 V

The minimum potential difference must be supplied by the ignition circuit to start a car is -1800 V

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

Somatic motor neurons originate in the central nervous system, project their axons to skeletal muscles (such as the muscles of the limbs, abdominal, and intercostal muscles), which are involved in locomotion.

Explanation:

Muscles move on commands from the brain. Single nerve cells in the spinal cord, called motor neurons, are the only way the brain connects to muscles. When a motor neuron inside the spinal cord fires, an impulse goes out from it to the muscles on a long, very thin extension of that single cell called an axon.

What is an element that needs to lose or gain<br> 4 valence electrons in order to become<br> stable?
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

Elements in Group 14 could lose four, or gain four electrons to achieve a noble gas structure. In fact, if they are going to form ions, Group 14 elements form positive ions. Carbon and silicon form covalent bonds. Carbon's millions of organic compounds are all based on shared electrons in covalent bonds.

Art [367]

Answer:

\Delta s = 1775.510\,m

Explanation:

The minimum distance for takeoff is:

\Delta s = \Delta s_{1} + \Delta s_{2}

\Delta s = \frac{v_{f}^{2}-v_{o}^{2}}{2\cdot a} + v_{f}\cdot \Delta t

\Delta s = \frac{(100\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}-(0\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}}{2\cdot (3.92\,\frac{m}{s^{2}})}+(100\,\frac{m}{s} )\cdot (5\,s)

\Delta s = 1775.510\,m

An object has a mass of 785 g and a volume of 15 cm³. What is its density? (Give your answer in g/cm³ to 2 decimal places).
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

denisity = 52.33 g/cm^{3}

Explanation:

Density:

d = \frac{m}{v}

We have that m = 785 and that v = 15 cm^{3}.

d = \frac{785}{15}

d = 52.33 m^{3}
