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

A farmer using sustainable agriculrural practices will a. use increased crop diversity and fewer off the farm resources in order
kati45 [8]

a. use increased crop diversity and fewer off the farm resources in order to reduce pressure on resources

Explanation:

A farmer using sustainable agricultural practices will use increased crop diversity and fewer off the farm resources in order to reduce dependency on other resources.

The major goal of sustainable agriculture is to cultivate plants and groom livestock in the best way that won't alter the environment.

  • This usually entail the cultivation of different crops.
  • Diversity of crops provides the means to sustain and retain soil fertility naturally without having to add fertilizers.
  • In animal husbandry, some of wastes are used on farm and the excesses from the farm are used to feed livestock.
  • Sustainable agriculture is a practice of self-reliant agriculture without infringing on the environment.

List the types of electromagnetic radiation in order from lowest energy photons to highest energy photons.
frutty [35]

radio waves,X-rays,

Explanation:

In order from highest to lowest energy, the sections of the EM spectrum are named: gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet radiation, visible light, infrared radiation, and radio waves. Microwaves (like the ones used in microwave ovens) are a subsection of the radio wave segment of the EM spectrum.

An 75-kg hiker climbs to the summit of Mount Mitchell in western North Carolina. During one 2.0-h period, the climber's vertical
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

The change in gravitational potential energy of the climber-Earth system is  \Delta  PE  = 396900 \ J

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The mass of the hiker is  m = 75 \ kg

    The time  taken is  T  =  2 \ hr =  2 *  3600 =  7200 \ s

    The  vertical elevation after time  T is  H = 540 \ m

   

The  change  in gravitational potential is  mathematically represented as

         \Delta  PE  =  mgH

here g is the acceleration due to gravity with value  g =  9.8 \ m/s^2  

     substituting values  

        \Delta  PE  =  75  *  9.8  *  540

       \Delta  PE  = 396900 \ J
