The acceleration of the electron is larger than the acceleration of the proton.

The reason for this is that the mass of the electron is smaller (about 1000 times smaller) than the mass of the proton. The two particles have same charge (e), so they experience the same force under the same electric field E:
F=eE 
However, according to Newton's second law, the force is the product between the mass particle, m, and its acceleration, a:
F=ma 
which can be rewritten as
a= \frac{F}{m}
we said that the force exerted on the two particles, F, is the same, while the mass of the electron is smaller: therefore, from the last formula we see that the acceleration of the electron will be larger than that of the proton.

You move a 25 n object 4 meters. find the work you did
d1i1m1o1n [39]
In physics, "work<span>" is when a force applied to an object moves the object in the same direction as the force. If someone pushes against a wall, no </span>work<span> is done on the system. It is calculated as follows:

Work = Force x distance
Work = 25 N x 4 meters
Work = 100 N.m</span>

What do we mean when we say that energy levels are quantized in atoms?
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

Electrons are located in specific orbit corresponding to discrete energy levels

Explanation:

In Bohr's model of the atom, electron orbit the nucleus in specific levels, each of them corresponding to a specific energy. The electrons cannot be located in the space between two levels: this means that only some values of energy are possible for the electrons, so the energy levels are quantized.

A confirmation of Bohr's model is found in the spectrum of emission of gases. In fact, when an electron jumps from a higher energy level to a lower energy level, it emits a photon whose energy is exactly equal to the difference in energy between the two levels: since the energy levels are discrete, this means that the emitted photons cannot have any value of wavelength, but also their wavelength will appear as a discrete spectrum. This is exactly what it is observed in the spectrum of emission of gases.

Volcanic Island Arcs, such as Japan, form when a(n) __________ plate is subducted below a(n) _________________ and takes seawate
MrMuchimi

Volcanic Island arcs form when an <u>oceanic tectonic</u> plate is subducted below a <u>tectonic plate </u>  taking seawater with it.

Volcanic island arcs occur offshore during volcanoes. They occur due to the subduction of an oceanic plate under another tectonic plate. Volcanic Island arcs occur mostly in ocean basins.

Due to the subduction of oceanic plates under tectonic plates, Island Arcs are found, mostly along the margins of continent.

Hence we can conclude that Volcanic Island arcs Form when an <u>oceanic tectonic</u> plate is subducted below a <u>tectonic plate </u>  taking seawater with it.

A bullet with a mass of 0.1 kg is travelling at
mel-nik [20]

The block with the bullet lodged in the block is now travelling at 2.133 m/s.

<h3>What is momentum conservation principle?</h3>

When there is no external force acting on the system, the momentum remains conserved.

For inelastic collision, after collision both objects travel with common speed.

m1u1 + m2u2 =(m1 +m2)v

Substitute initial velocity of bullet u1 =320 m/s , initial velocity of block u2 =0, mass of bullet m1 = 0.1 kg and mass of block m2 = 14.9 kg.

Solve for the final velocity of bullet,

0.1 x 320 + 14.9 x 0 = (0.1 +14.9) x v

v = 2.133 m/s

Thus, the  block with the bullet lodged in block now travelling at 2.133 m/s.
