In many problems where the potential energy is considered between two objects, the potential energy is defined as zero when the

particles are in infinite distance apart. Using the definition of potential energy, explain why the potential energy would be positive if the force between the particles is repulsive and negative if the force between the particles is attractive for noninfinite distances.

Answer:

potential energy=ε Qq/r. Putting values of charge along with sign and calculating the potential energy will tell whether the resultant force is attractive or repulsive.

Explanation:

potential energy=ε Qq/r

q and Q are charges on each particle

So in case the particles have attractive force between them, one particle will be negative and the other will be positiive. The result will be negative.

In case the particles have repulsive forces, the charge on both particles will be either positive or negative. The result will be positive

amm1812

Answer and Explanation:

Gas chromatography separates compounds depending on their **polarity and volatility**. Benzene, m-xylene, and toluene have similar **polarities**, therefore, the main basis for separation is **volatility**. The more volatile a component the ** higher its vapor pressure**, hence the more time it spends in the **gaseous mobile phase**, giving it a **shorter** retention time. Therefore, components of a liquid mixture will elute in order of **increasing boiling points/decreasing volatilities/increasing polarities with the stationary phase**.

What happen to the clutch system when you step-on and releasing the clutch pedal?​
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

Step On: Your foot forces the clutch pedal down and then causes it to take up the slack. This, in turn, causes the clutch friction disk to slip, creating heat and ultimately wearing your clutch out.

Step Off: When the clutch pedal is released, the springs of the pressure plate push the slave cylinder's pushrod back, which forces the hydraulic fluid back into the master cylinder.
