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.

A diode, which allows current to flow in one direction only, consists of two types of semiconductors joined together.
Nata [24]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

A diode, which allows current to flow in one direction only, consists of two types of semiconductors joined together.

A semiconductor can be defined as a crystalline solid substance that has its conductivity lying between that of a metal and an insulator, due to the effects of temperature or an addition of an impurity. Semiconductors are classified into two main categories;

1. Extrinsic semiconductor.

2. Intrinsic semiconductor.

An intrinsic semiconductor is a crystalline solid substance that is in its purest form and having no impurities added to it. Examples of intrinsic semiconductor are Germanium and Silicon.

In an intrinsic semiconductor, the number of free electrons is equal to the number of holes. Also, in an intrinsic semiconductor the number of holes and free electrons is directly proportional to the temperature; as the temperature increases, the number of holes and free electrons increases and vice-versa.

In an intrinsic semiconductor, each free electrons (valence electrons) produces a covalent bond.

1. What is energy? What can an object with energy do?
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

Kinetic energy is the energy an object has because of its motion. If we want to accelerate an object, then we must apply a force. Applying a force requires us to do work. After work has been done, energy has been transferred to the object, and the object will be moving with a new constant speed.

In any problems involving circular motion, which way does the tangential speed vector point?
Anton [14]

In what may be one of the most remarkable coincidences in
all of physical science, the tangential component of circular
motion points along the tangent to the circle at every point. 

The object on a circular path is moving in that exact direction
at the instant when it is located at that point in the circle.  The
centripetal force ... pointing toward the center of the circle ...
is the force that bends the path of the object away from a straight
line, toward the next point on the circle.  If the centripetal force
were to suddenly disappear, the object would continue moving
from that point in a straight line, along the tangent and away from
the circle.
