Answer:

It is directed downward. Its relative magnitude is a= qp*E/mp = 0.96*10⁸*E m/s².

Explanation:

Assuming  gravitational force to be negligible, the only force acting on the proton once within the vacuum chamber, is the one due to the electric field.

As the proton is a positive charge, the electric force on it due to the field has the same direction than the field, as the direction of the field by convention, is the one that would take a positive test charge.

According to electric field definition, and to Newton's 2nd Law, we can find the acceleration of the proton as follows:

F = m*a = q*E ⇒ a= q*E / m = 1.6*10⁻¹⁹ C * E (N/C) / 1.67*10⁻²⁷ kg

⇒ a = 0.96* 10⁸ * E m/s²

Difference between male and female gamete​
Inga [223]

Answer:

The male gamete is smaller in comparison to that of the female gamete.

The male gamete is conical from the front while the female gamete is spherical.

The cytoplasm in the male gamete is less in comparison to that of the female gamete.

The male gamete can move with the help of the tail while the female gametes are immobile and do not have any tail or flagella present.

The number of mitochondria present in the sperm is less than the number of mitochondria present in the ovum.

The male gamete has acrosome present in the head region that contains enzymes for dissolving the membranes present around the ovum. The ovum does not contain such digestive enzymes.

Which of the following is not an indication of a chemical reaction? a substance dissolves formation of a precipitate color chang
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

a substance dissolves.  


like adding a soluble salt to water, it just dissolves, i.e dissociates homogeneously as water is able to dissociate salts (ionic compounds) into its ions. (it can also dissociate other non-ionic compounds like HCL)  


the salt still remains chemically as a salt and is unchanged chemically thus it is not an indication of a chemical reaction as no chemical reaction has taken place.  


the formation of a precipitate is a chemical reaction because a new substance (i.e new chemical) is formed. For example adding aqueous sodium hydroxide into an aqueous solution with CU2+ cations will form a blue precipitate (that is copper (II) hydroxide which is insoluble, hence it precipitates). Since a new chemical is formed, a chemical reaction has taken place and thus indicates a chemical reaction.  


color change... im not sure but usually a color change will only occur when a new substance is formed. Like iron corrodes (i.e rust) slowly in moist air to form hydrated iron (III) oxide that is rust. (brown color).  


usually adding a mixture to a mixture has little energy change, i.e little heat taken in by the reaction mixture or little heat given out by the reaction mixture. Whereas when a new substance is formed, there is usually noticeable energy change like the container gets colder or hotter (without heat being supplied of course). For example dissolving basic oxides into water releases energy ( more energy released than gained = exothermic reaction).  


i think that should be the answer... hope it helped :D

What is a difference between a law and a hypothesis?
AnnZ [28]

Which has a greater force: a semi-truck at rest or a moving bicycle?
Wittaler [7]

Although the semi truck certainly has a larger mass, it is not in motion and therefore does not have any momentum. The bicycle however has both mass and velocity and therefore has the larger momentum of the pair.
