What is the change in potential energy if the distance separating the electron and proton is increased to 1.0 nm?

Physics

Vlada [557]2 years ago

Answer:

Ep=-2.3*10^{-19}J

Explanation:

The change in potential energy can be expressed as:

Ep=K.\frac{q1.q2}{r}

where K is a constant with a value of 9*10^{9}\frac{N.m^{2}}{C^{2}}, q1 and q2 are the charges of the proton and the electron and r is the distance between them.

The charge for the proton is +1.6*10^{-19}C and the charge for the electron is -1.6*10^{-19}C.

Converting r=1.0nm to m:

1.0nm*\frac{1*10^{-9}m}{1.0nm}=1*10^{-9}m

Replacing values:

Ep=9*10^{9}\frac{N.m^{2}}{C^{2}}.\frac{(+1.6*10^{-19}C).(-1.6*10^{-19}C)}{1*10^{-9}m}

Ep=-2.3*10^{-19}J

Help me please Which of the following statements best describes the atoms and molecules that make up a glass
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

The correct option is;

The atoms and molecules of the liquid water are moving, while the atoms and molecules of the glass are not moving

Explanation:

Matter that exist in the liquid or gaseous state consist of molecules that move freely about in the entire containing medium for gas, while the molecules move freely  in the portion of the container occupied by the fluid in the case of liquid fluids

However, the molecules of a solid are fixed within the current shape of the solid and are only free to vibrate within a fixed location and the allow the passage of subatomic particles such as electrons

As such, the glass cup being a solid, consists of molecules fixed in space, while the liquid water consists of molecules which can translate within the portion of the volume of the glass filled with the water.

Look at the equation. What detail is missing? 3 m/s2= (33 m/s - X)/30 S <br>​
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

The starting velocity.

Explanation:

We must understand that this equation comes from the following equation of kinematics.

v_{f}=v_{o}+a*t

where:

Vf = final velocity = 33 [m/s]

Vo = starting velocity [m/s]

a = acceleration = 3 [m/s²]

t = time = 30 [s]

So, these values can be assembly in the following way:

v_{f}=v_{o}+a*t\\a*t=v_{f}-v_{o}\\3=\frac{33-v_{o}}{30}

A bungee cord has a spring constant of 82.5 N/m. After jumping, a person oscillates with a period of 7.50 s. What is the mass of
Arada [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

T = 2π √ (m/k)

T / 2π = √ (m/k)

T√k = 2π √m

(T√k) / 2π = √m

( (T√k) / 2π)^2 = m

m = ( (7.5√82.5) / 2π)^2

m = 117.66 Kg
