A proton initially moves left to right along the x-axis at a speed of 2.00 x 103 m/s. It moves into an uniform electric field, w

hich points in the negative x direction, and travels a distance of 0.200 m before coming to rest. If the proton's mass and charge are 1.67 x 10-27 kg and 1.60 x 10-19 C respectively, what is the magnitude of the electric field?

Answer:

E = 1.04*10⁻¹ N/C

Explanation:

Assuming no other forces acting on the proton than the electric field, as this is uniform, we can calculate the acceleration of the proton, with the following kinematic equation:

vf^{2} -vo^{2} = 2*a*x

As the proton is coming at rest after travelling 0.200 m to the right,  vf = 0, and x = 0.200 m.

Replacing this values in the equation above, we can solve for a, as follows:

a = \frac{vo^{2}*mp}{2*x} = \frac{(2.00e3m/s)^{2}}{2*0.2m} = 1e7 m/s2

According to Newton´s 2nd Law, and applying the definition of an electric field, we can say the following:

F = mp*a = q*E

For a proton, we have the following values:

mp = 1.67*10⁻²⁷ kg

q = e = 1.6*10⁻¹⁹ C

So, we can solve for E (in magnitude) , as follows:

E = \frac{mp*a}{e} =\frac{1.67e-27kg*1e7m/s2}{1.6e-19C} = 1.04e-1 N/C

⇒ E = 1.04*10⁻¹ N/C

A college friend of yours who has been postponing taking any science courses hears you talking about the generation of nuclear e
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

It's held together by the nuclear force.

Explanation:

There are <em>more</em> elemental forces than just the electromagnetic one. In this case, it is the nuclear force (called also strong force) the one that holds the nucleus together because it is stronger than the electromagnetic force over such short distances as the one inside the atomic nucleus.

Why are strong forces able to hold atomic nuclei together?
Galina-37 [17]
The nucleons(protons and neutrons) are held together by means of this strong force. If this strong never existed, all the nucleus will blow themselves due to strong repulsive force between protons(neutron has no charge).
Thats it!
If I explain beyond, it will surely bounce off your head. Anyways, if you wanna know more bout it, ping me. (:

What are some different kinds of bias and how can they ruin a research project
m_a_m_a [10]

Three types of bias can be distinguished: information bias, selection bias, and confounding. These three types of bias and their potential solutions are discussed using various examples.

Bias can damage research, if the researcher chooses to allow his bias to distort the measurements and observations or their interpretation. When faculty are biased about individual students in their courses, they may grade some students more or less favorably than others, which is not fair to any of the students.
