Bare free charges do not remain stationary when close together. To illustrate this, calculate the acceleration of two isolated p

rotons separated by 3.73 nm (a typical distance between gas atoms). (Enter the magnitude in m/s2.)

Answer:

Acceleration, a=9.91\times 10^{15}\ m/s^2

Explanation:

It is given that,

Separation between the protons, r=3.73\ nm=3.73\times 10^{-9}\ m

Charge on protons, q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

Mass of protons, m=1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg

We need to find the acceleration of two isolated protons. It can be calculated by equating electric force between protons and force due to motion as :

ma=\dfrac{kq^2}{r^2}

a=\dfrac{kq^2}{mr^2}      

a=\dfrac{9\times 10^9\times (1.6\times 10^{-19})^2}{1.67\times 10^{-27}\times (3.73\times 10^{-9})^2}      

a=9.91\times 10^{15}\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of two isolated protons is 9.91\times 10^{15}\ m/s^2. Hence, this is the required solution.

Boiling water is a common method used to sterilize water that may be contaminated. subjecting microbes to such high temperatures
GaryK [48]

Boiling water is a common method used to sterilize water that may be contaminated. subjecting microbes to such high temperatures is an example of a(n) microbicidal technique.

A substance that eliminates microorganisms (such as bacteria) is known as microbicide and the techniques that involve destruction of microbes are known as microbicidal techniques.

The pathogen biofilm was effectively destroyed by the combined microbicidal effects of hot water (50, 60, or 70 °C) and 2% citric acid. It was discovered that the combination of hot water and citric acid caused sub-lethally harmed cells.

A fairly easy way to disinfect water is to boil it. The majority of dangerous organisms, notably viruses and bacteria that cause waterborne infections, are killed when water is heated to a high temperature of 100°C. The water must boil for at least 20 minutes in order to be most effective.

Hence, water that may be polluted is frequently sterilized by boiling. Using such high temperatures to kill germs is an example of a microbicidal method.

Light waves do not need a medium to travel through. true or false.
melamori03 [73]

Light travels in electromagnetic waves in the form of photons. What do photons travel in? Can a frequency have weight? Carry weight? According to Einstien a photon with energy proportional to its frequency basically explains ultraviolet light(among other things), so does that mean light travels within a "larger" version of itself?

We know that light doesn't need a medium through which to travel because the speed of light is experimentally constant: independent of the movement of the source or detector or the direction in which it travels.

Light contrasts with sound, which travels through the air (or some other material medium). If you're stationary with respect to the air, then the speed of sound is the same in all directions. But if you're moving with respect to the air, the speed of sound will be the same in all directions relative to the air---which means that sound coming up in front of you will seem faster and sound catching up to you from behind will seem slower.

If light were a disturbance in a medium, it would exhibit the same behaviour. But light never does---its speed is the same under all circumstances. So it does you no good to postulate an aether. You can still do it, but it makes the theory more complicated than necessary. The only reason to postulate an aether is that you're uncomfortable with the idea of waves not needing a medium. But our modern understanding of quantum mechanics is that all kinds of particles have a wavelike nature, so, if you accept that matter can travel through empty space, you should have no problem accepting the same for light.

so it's true
