The atoms of some materials have no free electrons in their outer orbits. These electrons are busy doing other jobs, like being shared in the orbits of two adjacent atoms. They are so closely held that it is very difficult to pull them away. Most compounds of carbon and hydrogen are like this. 

<span>Plastics, whose molecules are made from long combinations of carbon and hydrogen atoms, have few or no free electrons. This means that plastics are poor conductors of electricity (and they are also poor conductors of heat). hope that helped.</span>

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

the magnitude of a uniform electric field that will stop these protons in a distance of 2 m is 10143.57 V/m or 1.01 × 10⁴ V/m

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Kinetic energy of each proton that makes up the beam = 3.25 × 10⁻¹⁵ J

Mass of proton = 1.673 × 10⁻²⁷ kg

Charge of proton = 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

distance d = 2 m

we know that

Kinetic Energy = Charge of proton × Potential difference ΔV

so

Potential difference ΔV = Kinetic Energy / Charge of proton

we substitute

Potential difference ΔV = ( 3.25 × 10⁻¹⁵ ) / ( 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ )

Potential difference ΔV = 20287.14 V

Now, the magnitude of a uniform electric field that will stop these protons in a distance of 2 m will be;

E = Potential difference ΔV / distance d

we substitute

E = 20287.14 V / 2 m

E = 10143.57 V/m or 1.01 × 10⁴ V/m

Therefore, the magnitude of a uniform electric field that will stop these protons in a distance of 2 m is 10143.57 V/m or 1.01 × 10⁴ V/m

Two cars, one of mass 1400 kg, and the
Vikki [24]

Suppose that, in the x-y plane, the first car is moving to the right so that its velocity is given by the vector

v₁ = (14 m/s) i

and the second car is moving upward so that its velocity vector is

v₂ = (20 m/s) j

Then the total momentum of two cars before their collision is

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = (1400 kg) (14 m/s) i + (2300 kg) (20 m/s) j

= (19,600 i + 46,000 j) kg•m/s

Their momentum after the collision is

(1400 kg + 2300 kg) v = (3700 kg) v

where v is the velocity vector of the wreckage.

By conservation of momentum,

(19,600 i + 46,000 j) kg•m/s = (3700 kg) v

Let a and b be the horizontal and vertical components of v, respectively. Then

19,600 kg•m/s = (3700 kg) a   ⇒   a ≈ 5.2973 m/s ≈ 5.3 m/s

46,000 kg•m/s = (3700 kg) b   ⇒   b ≈ 12.4324 m/s ≈ 12 m/s

so that the final speed of the wreckage is

||v|| = √(a² + b²) ≈ 13.5139 m/s ≈ 14 m/s
