Explanation:
Given that,
Initial speed of the bus, u = 0
Acceleration of the bus, a = 0.5 m/s²
Let v is the velocity at the end of 2 minutes. The change in velocity divided by time equals acceleration.
So,
Let d is the distance cover during that time. So,
So, the final speed is 60 m/s and the distance covered during that time is 3600 m.
Answer:
Strong nuclear force is 1-2 order of magnitude larger than the electrostatic force
Explanation:
There are mainly two forces acting between protons and neutrons in the nucleus:
- The electrostatic force, which is the force exerted between charged particles (therefore, it is exerted between protons only, since neutrons are not charged). The magnitude of the force is given by
where k is the Coulomb's constant, q1 and q2 are the charges of the two particles, r is the separation between the particles.
The force is attractive for two opposite charges and repulsive for two same charges: therefore, the electrostatic force between two protons is repulsive.
- The strong nuclear force, which is the force exerted between nucleons. At short distance (such as in the nucleus), it is attractive, therefore neutrons and protons attract each other and this contributes in keeping the whole nucleus together.
At the scale involved in the nucleus, the strong nuclear force (attractive) is 1-2 order of magnitude larger than the electrostatic force (repulsive), therefore the nucleus stays together and does not break apart.
