Answer:

The electric potential at the midpoint between the two particles is 3.349 X 10⁻³ Volts

Explanation:

Electric potential is given as;

V = E*r

where;

E is the electric field strength, = kq/r²

V = ( kq/r²)*r

V = kq/r

k is coulomb's constant = 8.99 X 10⁹ Nm²/C²

q is the charge of the particles = 1.6 X 10⁻¹⁹ C

r is the distance between the particles = 859 nm

At midpoint, the distance = r/2 = 859nm/2 = 429.5 nm

V = (8.99 X 10⁹  * 1.6 X 10⁻¹⁹)/ (429.5 X 10⁻⁹)

V = 3.349 X 10⁻³ Volts

Therefore, the electric potential at the midpoint between the two particles is 3.349 X 10⁻³ Volts

A mass m is attached to an ideal massless spring. When this system is set in motion with amplitude a, it has a period t. What is
Luden [163]

The period will be the same if the amplitude of the motion is increased to 2a

What is an Amplitude?

Amplitude refers to the maximum extent of a vibration or oscillation, measured from the position of equilibrium.

Here,

mass m is attached to the spring.

mass attached = m

time period = t

We know that,

The time period for the spring is calculated with the equation:

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

Where k is the spring constant

Now if the amplitude is doubled, it means that the distance from the equilibrium position to the displacement is doubled.

From the equation, we can say,

Time period of the spring is independent of the amplitude.

Hence,

Increasing the amplitude does not affect the period of the mass and spring system.

Which sentence from the article supports the idea that the visible spectrum is more limited in marine animals than humans? A Mos
lidiya [134]

Most marine bioluminescence is blue-green, which is easier to see in the deep ocean

Explanation:

As per science,  Emission and production of light by a living organism is defined as Bioluminescence. Bioluminescence occurs widely in marine animals whereas it is triggered by a physical disturbance is seen by humans, such as a moving boat hull or waves.

Throughout the water column bioluminescent organisms live and bioluminescence is extremely common in deep sea which shows that visible spectrum is more limited to marine animals than humans.

A 72.8-kg swimmer is standing on a stationary 265-kg floating raft. The swimmer then runs off the raft horizontally with a veloc
nalin [4]

Answer:

-1.43 m/s relative to the shore

Explanation:

Total momentum must be conserved before and after the run. Since they were both stationary before, their total speed, and momentum, is 0, so is the total momentum after the run off:

m_sv_s + m_rv_r = 0

where m_s = 72.8, m_r = 265 are the mass of the swimmer and raft, respectively. v_s = 5.21 m/s, v_r are the velocities of the swimmer and the raft after the run, respectively. We can solve for v_r

265v_r + 72.8*5.21 = 0

v_b = -72.8*5.21/265 = -1.43 m/s

So the recoil velocity that the raft would have is -1.43 m/s after the swimmer runs off, relative to the shore

An airplane flies with a velocity of 55.0 m/s [ 35° N of W] with respect to the air (this is
rodikova [14]

Answer:

21 m/s.  

Explanation:

The computation of the wind velocity is shown below:

But before that, we need to find out the angles between the vectors

53° - 35° = 18°

Now we have to sqaure it i.e given below

v^2 = 55^2 + 40^2 - 2 · 55 · 40 · cos 18°

v^2 = 3025 + 1600 - 2 · 55 · 40 · 0.951

v^2 = 440.6

v = √440.6

v = 20.99

≈ 21 m/s

Hence, The wind velocity is 21 m/s.
