Initially, mg = kx. K = mg/x = 700/0.5x10^-3 = 1400000N/m. From second condition, applying work-energy theorem, potential enery- elastic potential energy = change in kinetic energy. Now change in kinetic energy is 0 since initial and final velocities are 0m/s. Therefore, potential energy = elastic potential energy. mgh = (1/2) * k* x^2. x^2 = 2(mg)h/k = 2 x 700 x 1.3/ 1400000. x = 0.036m. Hope it's clear.

Let's take two balls, each of radius 0.1 meters and charge them each to 3 microCoulombs. Then, let's put them on a flat surface
salantis [7]

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the electric potential energy of two charges at a distance R as follows.

                   R = 2r

                      = 2 \times 0.1 m

                      = 0.2 m

where,    R = separation between center's of both Q's. Hence, the potential energy will be calculated as follows.

                U = \frac{k \times Q \times Q}{R}

                    = \frac{8.98 \times 10^{9} \times (3 \times 10^{-6} C)^{2}}{0.1}

                    = 0.081 J

As, both the charges are coming towards each other with the same energy so there will occur equal sharing of electric potential energy between these two charges.

Therefore, when these charges touch each other then they used to posses maximum kinetic energy, that is, \frac{U}{2}.

Hence,   K.E = \frac{U}{2}

                     = \frac{0.081}{2}

                     = 0.0405 J

Now, we will calculate the speed of balls as follows.

                 V = \sqrt{\sqrt{\frac{2 \times K.E}{m}}

                     = \sqrt{\sqrt{\frac{2 \times 0.0405}{4 kg}}

                     = 0.142 m/s

Therefore, we can conclude that final speed of one of the balls is 0.142 m/s.

musickatia [10]

Ultravoilent rays is an type of an electromegnetic wave with wavelength 10nm .Ultraviolet wave is used by doctors in order to keep the wounds away from bacteria.

<h3>What is ultravoilent wave ?</h3>

Ultravoilent rays is an type of an electromegnetic wave with wavelength 10nm. Ultravoilent wave is directly comes frim the sun. It is classified into the UV(A) , UV(B),UV(B).

Ultravoilet rays also effects the human eyes that s why sun glasses are used. The experiments here are compared and quantified to the effectiveness of the sunscreens with various strengths.

Over [174]
The protons and electrons are held in place on the x axis.
The proton is at x = -d and the electron is at x = +d. They are released at the same time and the only force that affects movement is the electrostatic force that is applied on both subatomic particles. According to Newton's third law, the force Fpe exerted on protons by the electron is opposite in magnitude and direction to the force Fep exerted on the electron by the proton. That is, Fpe = - Fep. According to Newton's second law, this equation can be written as
                               Mp * ap = -Me * ae
where Mp and Me are the masses, and ap and ae are the accelerations of the proton and the electron, respectively. Since the mass of the electron is much smaller than the mass of the proton, in order for the equation above to hold, the acceleration of the electron at that moment must be considerably larger than the acceleration of the proton at that moment. Since electrons have much greater acceleration than protons, they achieve a faster rate than protons and therefore first reach the origin.
