Atomic nuclei are made of protons and neutrons. This fact by itself shows thatthere must be some other type of force in addition

to electrical and gravitationalforces. Explain.

Stells [14]4 years ago

Protons and neutrons are packed together in a very small region called nucleus. Protons are positively charged and we know that like charges repel. Then how is it that protons are not repelling each other and flying away from nucleus?

You may think that gravitational force is holding all the protons together but it is not so. Gravitational force is many times weaker than repulsive force.

It is actually strong force which holds proton together. At this short distance, strong force comes into play and is several times stronger than the repulsive force.

If a negatively charged particle enters a region of uniform magnetic field which is perpendicular to the particle's velocity, wi
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

Same

Explanation:

While moving through a magnetic field in a direction perpendicular to a B-field, a continuous force experienced by a charged particle. If this magnetic field remains uniform, the force exerted also remains same and hence the velocity with which the particle is moving remains same. However, the particle is forced to move on a curved path until it forms a complete circle.

Hence, the kinetic energy remains the same because the speed is same

A net force of 50 newtons is applied to a 20 kilogram cart that is already moving at 1 m/s the final speed of the cart was 3 m/s
valina [46]

Answer:

0.8 seconds

Explanation:

F=ma

Let x be the seconds the force is applied.

m = 20kg

F = 50 Newtons (kg*m/sec^2)

acceleration, a, is provided for x seconds to increase the speed from 1 m/s to  3 m/s, an increase of 2m/s

Let's calculate the acceleration of the cart:

F=ma

(50 kg*m/s^2) = (20kg)*a

a = 2.5 m/s^2

---

The acceleration is 2.5 m/s^2.  The cart increases speed by 2.5 m/s every second.  

We want the number of seconds it takes to add 2.0 m/sec to the speed:

(2.5 m/s^2)*x = 2.0 m/s

x = (2.0/2.5) sec

x = 0.8 seconds

Sound waves, water waves, and light waves are all alike in that they all
Paha777 [63]
Sound and water waves are longitudinal waves, they require a medium to travel through and occilate particles 90 degrees to the wave motion
Light is a transverse wave. It doesnt require a medium to travel through.
All three reflect, refract and diffract


Light is difficult to think of because it acts in ways which waves cannot explain in some cirumstances. It acts like a particle (called photons) in some conditions, but acts like a normal sound or water wave does in others. Try not to get too caught up in light being a wave or a particle because even physists dont know how to explain it yet.

A filled water tower sits on the top of the highest hill near a city. The cylindrical tower has a height of 55.0 m
Reika [66]

Answer:

539 kPa

Explanation:

Pressure equals density times acceleration of gravity times depth.

P = ρgh

Water has a density of 1000 kg/m³, and acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².

P = (1000 kg/m³) (9.8 m/s²) (55.0 m)

P = 539,000 Pa

P = 539 kPa
