Explanation:

Since, the two protons are at the initial state of point a and point b. Hence, total mechanical energy at point a and point b is as follows.

           U_{a} + K_{a} = U_{b} + K_{b}

or,           K_{a} = U_{b}  

where,   K_{a} = kinetic energy of two protons

So,      2(\frac{1}{2}mV^{2}_{a}) = \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_{o}} \frac{|e|^{2}}{r_{b}}

       r_{b} = \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_{o}} \frac{e^{2}}{mV^{2}_{a}}

Putting the given values into the above formula we will calculate the value of r_{b} as follows.

      r_{b} = \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_{o}} \frac{e^{2}}{mV^{2}_{a}}

                = (9.0 \times 10^{9} Nm^{2}/C^{2} \frac{(1.602 \times 10^{-19}^{2} C}{1.67 \times 10^{-27} kg \times 2 \times 10^{5}}

                = 3.45 \times 10^{-12} m

Now, we will calculate the maximum electric field as follows.

      F = \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_{o}} \frac{|e|^{2}}{r^{2}_{b}}

         = 9.0 \times 10^{9} Nm^{2}/C^{2} \frac{(1.602 \times 10^{-19}C)^{2}}{3.45 \times 10^{-12}}

         = 0.194 \times 10^{-4} N

Therefore, we can conclude that the maximum electric force that these protons will exert on each other is 0.194 \times 10^{-4} N.

Using the scientific definition of work, does moving an object a greater amount of distance always require a greater amount of w
tester [92]
The answer is no. If you are dealing with a conservative force and the object begins and ends at the same potential then the work is zero, regardless of the distance travelled. This can be shown using the work-energy theorem which states that the work done by a force is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the object.
W=KEf−KEi
An example of this would be a mass moving on a frictionless curved track under the force of gravity.
The work done by the force of gravity in moving the objects in both case A and B is the same (=0, since the object begins and ends with zero velocity) but the object travels a much greater distance in case B, even though the force is constant in both cases.

A material that conducts electricity is called a... what?
jonny [76]

Answer:

Materials which do conduct electricity, like copper, are called conductors. In the middle are materials known as semiconductors, which don't conduct as well as conductors, but can carry current.

Water at the top of Horseshoe Falls (part of Niagara Falls) is moving horizontally at 9.2 m/s as it goes off the edge and plunge
dangina [55]

Water at the top of Horseshoe Falls (part of Niagara Falls) is moving horizontally at 9.2 m/s, the angle with respect to the vertical  is mathematically given as

\theta=15.93

<h3>What angle with respect to the vertical is the falling water moving as it enters the pool?</h3>

Generally, the equation for velocity is mathematically given as

V^2=u^2+2as

Therefore

V^{2}=0+2(9.81)(53)

V=32.2m/s

In conclusion, The angle

\theta =tan^{-1}\frac{(9.20m/s)}{(32.23m/s)}

\theta=15.93
