Suppose you wanted to hold up an electron against the force of gravity by the attraction of a fixed proton some distance above i

t. How far above the electron would the proton have to be? (k = 1/4πε0 = 9.0 × 109 N ∙ m2/C2, e = 1.6 × 10-19 C, mproton = 1.67 × 10-27 kg, melectron = 9.11 × 10-31 kg)

Answer:

r = 5.08 m

Explanation:

The electric force of attraction or repulsion is given by :

F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

We need to find how far above the electron would the proton have to be if you wanted to hold up an electron against the force of gravity by the attraction of a fixed proton some distance above it.

So, the force from the proton is balanced by the mass of the electron.

\dfrac{kq_pq_e}{r^2}=mg

r is distance

r=\sqrt{\dfrac{kq_pq_e}{mg}} \\\\r=\sqrt{\dfrac{9\times 10^9\times (1.6\times 10^{-19})^2}{9.11\times 10^{-31}\times 9.8}} \\\\r=5.08\ m

So, proton have to be at a distance of 5.08 meters above the electron.

"When Baby Ian is held horizontally on his back, he sometimes makes an embracing motion by arching his back, extending his legs,
Burka [1]

Answer:

Moro reflex  

Explanation:

The baby has a series of reflexes in its first months of life and they are very important for the good development of the little ones. One of them is the Moro Reflex. In this reflection, the baby spreads his arms wide, stretches his legs and extends his neck. Moro's reflex begins from birth and continues until about four months of the baby. It occurs when the baby abruptly shifts position or falls backwards or feels in an insecure position, at which time the baby makes a hug movement by arching his back, extending his legs, throwing his arms out and then bringing his arms. towards the body.

In an engine, an almost ideal gas is compressed adiabatically to half its volume. In doing so, 1850 J of work is done on the gas
hammer [34]

Answer:

The value of change in internal energy of the gas = + 1850 J

Explanation:

Work done on the gas (W) =  - 1850 J

Negative sign is due to work done on the system.

From the first law  we know that Q = Δ U + W ------------- (1)

Where Q = Heat transfer to the gas

Δ U = Change in internal energy of the gas

W = work done on the gas

Since it is adiabatic compression of the gas so heat transfer to the gas is zero.

⇒ Q = 0

So from equation (1)

⇒ Δ U = - W ----------------- (2)

⇒ W = - 1850 J (Given)

⇒ Δ U = - (- 1850)

⇒ Δ U = + 1850 J

This is the value of change in internal energy of the gas.

Why is specific heat important
Ad libitum [116K]
Hey!!

here is your answer >>>

Specific heat is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit substance!. The most common example!. The specific heat of water is 1 !. And, lot of plays and animals live under the water and if the specific heat of the water would be low, then the aquatic organisms would die, but the specific heat is high and it is hard for the sun to increase the temperature!.

Hope my answer helps!
