Which one of the following distances is the shortest?

A proton and an electron are released from rest, with only the electrostatic force acting. Which of the following statements mus

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

their electrical potential energy decreases. True, because of the negative sign as the distance decreases, it becomes more negative.

The kinetic energy increases. True, the force is attractive as the distance decreases the force increases, so acceleration and therefore the speed

Explanation:

The only force between the proton and the electron is electric

Fe = k q1q2 / r2

Fe = - k e2 / r2

We can see that it is an attractive force (negative sign)

The electric power energy is

U = k q1 q2 / r

U = -k e2 / r

The kinetic energy is

K = ½ m v2

With the expressions for each term we can analyze the sentences :

Their electric potential energy increases. False,

their electrical potential energy decreases. True, because of the negative sign as the distance decreases, it becomes more negative.

The kinetic energy increases. True, the force is attractive as the distance decreases the force increases, so acceleration and therefore the speed

Kinetic energy decreases False

The acceleration decreases. False, as the force increases so does the acceleration

A pan hangs from a 50 cm spring. When a 10 kg mass is placed in the pan, it stretches the spring 6 cm. What is a function rule l

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

Explanation:

A Spring stretches / compresses when force is applied on them and they are governed by the Hookes Law which states that the force required to stretch or compress a spring is directly proportional to the distance it is stretched.

$F = -kx$

F is the force applied and x is the elongation of the spring

k is the spring constant.

negative sign indicates the change in direction from equilibrium position.

In the given question, we dont have force but we know that the pan is hanging. We also know from the Newton's second law of motion that

$F=mg$

Inserting this into Hooke's Law

$mg=-kx$

computing it for x,

$-x=mg/k$

This is the model which will tell the length of the spring against change in the mass located in the pan.

A horse pulls on a wagon. The reaction force is the wagon pulls on the horse.<br><br> true or false?

Katen [24]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

the horse pull on the wagon but friction and the wight + gravity make the wagon pull on the horse ( newton's 2ed law)

Answer:

Pressure, P = 32666.66 Pa

Explanation:

It is given that,

Surface area of foot of Bimaba is 150 cm² or 0.015 m².

Her weight is 50 kg

We need to find the pressure does she exert on the ground, as she stands on her one foot. The force acting per unit area is called pressure. It can be given by :

$P=\dfrac{F}{A}\\\\P=\dfrac{mg}{A}\\\\P=\dfrac{50\times 9.8}{0.015}\\\\P=32666.66\ Pa$

So, the pressure is 32666.66 Pa.

The sun will probably end up as a white dwarf. How will it be different then from what it is today

just olya [345]

Answer:

The differences that will be observed are;

1) The Sun will become faint and will no longer be yellow but rather appear white and will no longer be visible (become invisible) by unassisted vision as we can see the Sun today

2) The size of the Sun will shrink to a size comparable to the size of the Earth

3) The Sun will cool down and will no longer radiate as much heat

4) The nuclear reactions that generate energy on the Sun's will seize and the and the heat from the Sun will be from residual thermal energy

5) The core, which is the hottest part of the Sun will no longer be hydrogen but carbon and oxygen
