As a laudably skeptical physics student, you want to test Coulomb's law. For this purpose, you set up a measurement in which a p

roton and an electron are situated 971 nm from each other and you study the forces that the particles exert on each other. As expected, the predictions of Coulomb's law are well confirmed.
You find that the forces are attractive and the magnitude of each force is:______

Answer:

The magnitude of each force is 2.45 x 10⁻¹⁶ N

Explanation:

The charge of proton, +q = 1.603 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

The charge of electron, -q = 1.603 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

Distance between the two charges, r = 971 nm = 971 x 10⁻⁹ m

Apply Coulomb's law;

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

where;

k is Coulomb's constant = 8.99 x 10⁹ Nm²/C²

q₁ and q₂ are the charges of proton and electron respectively

F is the magnitude of force between them

Substitute in the given values and solve for F

F = \frac{(8.99*10^9)(1.603*10^{-19})^2}{(971*10^{-9})^2} \\\\F = 2.45*10^{-16} \ N

Therefore, the magnitude of each force is 2.45 x 10⁻¹⁶ N

Light is an oscillating magnetic field alone. an oscillating electric field alone. electric and magnetic fields that oscillate p
cupoosta [38]

Explanation:

  • As light is an electromagnetic wave that causes sensation of sight.  
  • Every electromagnetic wave has electrical and magnetic components in it which are perpendicular to the direction of propagation of wave.  
  • The electrical and magnetic components are mutually perpendicular to each other in an electromagnetic wave.
  • The speed of light in vacuum is c=3\times 10^{8}\ m.s^{-1}, which decreases when it passes through a matter (precisely a transparent medium) which allows the passage of light through it. When the light passes through some transparent matter then its speed decreases as compared to the speed of light in vacuum.

Which dog has the most kinetic energy
Blababa [14]
The formula to find the kinetic energy is:

Ek= 1/2 × m × v^2

1. Ek= 1/2×15×3^2
= 67.5 J

2.Ek= 1/2×8×4^2
=64 J

3.Ek= 1/2×12×5^2
= 150 J

4.Ek= 1/2×10×6^2
= 180 J

So the fourth dog has the most kinetic energy.

Which type of radiation can reach the furthest?<br> A. Beta<br><br> B. Gamma<br><br> C. Alpha
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

C. Alpha

Explanation:

Gamma radiation, unlike alpha or beta, does not consist of any particles, instead consisting of a photon of energy being emitted from an unstable nucleus. Having no mass or charge, gamma radiation can travel much farther through air than alpha or beta, losing (on average) half its energy for every 500 feet.
