The body has growth spurts, so you can grow, and your body changes, slowly, but surely, changing you into an adult.

Answer:

Because the organism needs to become able to reproduce.

Explanation:

Puberty is defined as a physiological process of hormonal maturation and growth that causes changes in an individual's body making the organism able to reproduce and coincide with adolescence. During puberty there are changes in the pattern of secretion of some hormones, predominantly testosterone in boys and estradiol in girls. With the exception of the fetal period, there is no other stage in human development in which growth in height and changes in body composition are so intense and rapid. The pubertal stretch lasts about three to four years and represents a gain of approximately 20% of height and 50% of the individual's adult weight. Adolescents of the same age are often at different stages of puberty, as puberty has a very variable onset and progression rate between them.

How far away can a proton and an electron be from each other, such that they still exert an electric force on each other of magn

pogonyaev

Answer:

$\sqrt{ \frac{2.3 *10^{-28} }{F} }$

Explanation:

Total force = Force due to gravity + Force due to charges

Total force = $\frac{GMm}{r^{2} } + \frac{kQq}{r^{2} }$

r is the separation between particles.

Charge of a proton(Q) = - (charge of an electron(q) ) = 1.6 * 10^-19 coulombs

Mass of a proton (M)= 1.67×10^-27 kilograms

Mass of an electron (m) =9.11 × 10^-31 kilograms

G=6.67 ×10^−11 N⋅m^2/kg^2

k=8.99 * 10 ^9 N.m^2 / C^2

Plugging in values:

Force due to gravity= (6.67 *10^−11)(1.67 * 10^-27)*(9.11 * 10^-31) /r^2 =1.01 * 10^-67 / r^2

Force due to charges : (8.99 * 10 ^9)*(1.6 * 10^-19)*(1.6 * 10^-19) / r^2 = 2.3 *10^-28 / r^2

We can observe that force due to charges is too large as compared with force due to charge. The ratio of Fc to Fm is 2.3* 10^39. It means that we can ignore force due to gravity.

Total force = Force due to charges.

F = 2.3 *10^-28 / r^2

r = $\sqrt{ \frac{2.3 *10^{-28} }{F} }$
