If a proton and an electron are released when they are 2.50×10^-10m apart (typical atomic distances), find the initial accelerat

katrin [286]

To solve this exercise, we will first proceed to calculate the electric force given by the charge between the proton and the electron (it). From the Force we will use Newton's second law that will allow us to find the acceleration of objects. The Coulomb force between two charges is given as

$F = k \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}$

Here,

k = Coulomb's constant

q = Charge of proton and electron

r = Distance

Replacing we have that,

$F = (9*10^9)(\frac{(1.602*10^{-19})^2}{2.5*10^{-10}})$

$F = 3.6956*10^{-9}N$

The force between the electron and proton is calculated. From Newton's third law the force exerted by the electron on proton is same as the force exerted by the proton on electron.

The acceleration of the electron is given as

$a_e = \frac{F}{m_e}$

$a_e = \frac{3.6956*10^{-9}}{9.11*10^{-31}}$

$a_e = 4.0566*10^{21}m/s^2$

The acceleration of the proton is given as,

$a_p = \frac{F}{m_p}$

$a_p = \frac{3.6956*10^{-9}}{1.672*10^{-27}}$

$a_p = 2.21*10^{18}m/s^2$

Two blocks of masses 3.0 kg and 5.0 kg are connected by a spring and rest on a frictionless surface. They are given velocities t

miskamm [114]

Answer:

-0.7 m/sec

Explanation:

Mass of first block = m1 =3.0 kg

Mass of second block = m2= 5.0 kg

Velocity of first block = V1= 1.2 m/s

Velocity of second block = V2 = ?

Momentum of Center of mass MVcom is sum of both blocks momentum and is given by

MVcom= m1v1+m2v2

Where

M= mass of center of mass

Vcom= Velocity of center of mass=0 m/s (because center of mass is at rest , so Vcom = 0 m.sec)

Putting values, we get;

0= 3×1.2+5v2

==> v2= 3.6/5= - 0.7 m/s

-ve sign indicates that block 2 is moving in opposite direction of block 1

One student did an experiment on the rock cycle.

Nonamiya [84]

First, when the student added the layers of wax over each other, this became a representation of sedimentary rocks.

Then the student folded his/her palm and squeezed the layers of wax. This means that the student applied heat and pressure on the wax (sedimentary rocks)

Referring to the diagram below which represents the rock cycle, we will find that applying heat and pressure on sedimentary rocks would convert these rocks into metamorphic rocks.

Based on the above, the best choice would be:
d. Heat and pressure can change sedimentary rocks into metamorphic rocks.
