Answer:

a)E=2.88*10^{11}N/C

b)E=1.44*10^{11}N/C

c)F=4.61*10^{-8}N

Explanation:

We use the definition of a electric field produced by a point charge:

E=k*q/r^2

<u>a)Electric Field  due to the alpha particle:</u>

E=k*q_{alpha}/r^2=9*10^9*3.2*10^{-19}/(10^{-10})^2=2.88*10^{11}N/C

<u>b)Electric Field  due to electron:</u>

E=k*q_{electron}/r^2=9*10^9*1.6*10^{-19}/(10^{-10})^2=1.44*10^{11}N/C

<u>c)Electric Force on the alpha particle, on the electron:</u>

The alpha particle and electron feel the same force but with opposite direction:

F=k*q_{electron}*q_{alpha}/r^2=9*10^9*1.6*10^{-19}*3.2*10^{-19}/(10^{-10})^2=4.61*10^{-8}N

A hydrogen fuel cell supplies power for a small motor. the fuel cell delivers a current of 0.5 a and a voltage of 0.43 v. what i
gogolik [260]
We want to know what is the power supplied by the power cell if the current I=0.5 A and the voltage V=0.43 V. The equation for power P is P= I*V, so:

P=I*V=0.5*0.43=0.215 W

So the correct answer is that the power cell is supplying the motor with P=0.215 W of power.

The composition of the protoplanetary disk varies with distance from the protostar due to temperature.
lesantik [10]

Answer:

b) 1. Iron, silicates, carbon

   2. Water

   3. Methane, Ammonia, Carbon Dioxide.

Explanation:

Protoplanetry disk is the disk of gases and clouds of dust that rotates around the newly made star. The temperature of the protoplanetry disk actually determines the type of the planet that is to be formed. Inner part of the protoplanetry disk is closer to the sun thats why it is the hottest and denser part and composed of the materials like Iron, silicates, carbon as they have high melting points. Then comes those materials that exist in the solid form at lower temperatures such as the volatile materials like water. Ater that the protoplanetry disk is made of highly volatile materials that exists in solid from only at low coldest temperatures. So the outer part of the protoplanetry disk  is made up of the Methane, Ammonia and Carbon Dioxide.

a plane travels 204 km, northeast in 15.0 minutes. It also increases elevation by 1.6 km, upward in the same amount of time. Wha
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

230 m/s northeast, 1.8 m/s up

Explanation:

204 kilometres = 204000 metres

15.0 minutes = 900 seconds

Velocity = Distance / Time

= 204000 / 900

= 230 m/s northeast (to 2 sf.)

1.6km = 1600 metres

Velocity = 1600 / 900

= 1.8 m/s up (to 2 sf.)
