Newton's law of universal gravitation doesn't say anything about the cause of gravity.

Einstein's theory of relativity does.

Newton”s theory says this can occur because of gravity, a force attracting those objects to one another or to a single, third object. Einstein also says this occurs due to gravity- but in his theory, gravity is not a force. It is a curve in space-time.

An electron is released from rest at a distance of 6.00 cm from a proton. If the proton is held in place, how fast will the elec

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

91.87 m/s

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

x = initial distance of the electron from the proton = 6 cm = 0.06 m

y = initial distance of the electron from the proton = 3 cm = 0.03 m
u = initial velocity of the electron = 0 m/s

<u>Assume:</u>

m = mass of an electron = $9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg$
v = final velocity of the electron
e = magnitude of charge on an electron = $1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

p = magnitude of charge on a proton = $1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

We know that only only electric field due to proton causes to move from a distance of 6 cm from proton to 3 cm distance from it. This means the electric force force does work on the electron to move it from one initial position to the final position which is equal to the change in potential energy of the electron due to proton.

Now, according to the work-energy theorem, the total work done by the electric force on the electron due to proton is equal to the kinetic energy change in it.

$\therefore \textrm{Kinetic energy change}= \textrm{Change in potential energy}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)= \dfrac{kpe}{y}-\dfrac{kpe}{x}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-(0)^2)= \dfrac{kpe}{0.03}-\dfrac{kpe}{0.06}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2= \dfrac{100kpe}{3}-\dfrac{100kpe}{6}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2= \dfrac{100kpe}{6}\\$

$\Rightarrow v^2= \dfrac{100kpe\times 2}{6m}\\\Rightarrow v^2= \dfrac{100kpe}{3m}\\\Rightarrow v^2= \dfrac{100\times 9\times 10^9\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{3\times 9.1\times 10^{-31}}\\\Rightarrow v^2=8.44\times 10^3\\\Rightarrow v=91.87\ m/s\\$

Hence, when the electron is at a distance of c cm from the proton, it moves with a velocity of 91.87 m/s.

What net force would be necessary to cause a block of wood with a mass of 2.5 kg to accelerate at a rate of 3.0 m/s2

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question

mass = 2.5 kg

acceleration = 3.0 m/s²

We have

force = 2.5 × 3.0 = 7.5

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

How are elements and<br> compounds identified?

irina1246 [14]

Elements are composed of single atoms and compounds are composed of different elements.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A single atom generally forms an element. It is an individual particle or atom present in the periodic table, mostly it refers with symbol. When two or more elements of different types or same types combine together, it is called as compound.

The compounds can be heterogeneous compounds and homogeneous compounds. Depending upon the combination of elements, this classification is done for compounds. The elements can form a compound by ionic, covalent, metallic or hydrogen bonding. The molecules can also be termed as compounds.
