Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

Distance is described with only magnitude. It is defined as the total path covered by an object, in other words it  is the length of a path followed by a particle.

Displacement is described with both magnitude and direction. It is distance traveled in a specified direction or  change in position in some time interval.

Therefore, the correct option is " a. True"

The surface charge density on an infinite charged plane is - 2.10 ×10−6C/m2. A proton is shot straight away from the plane at 2.
inn [45]

Explanation:

Formula to calculate electric field because of the plate is as follows.

         E = \frac{\sigma}{2 \times \epsilon_{o}}

            = \frac{2.10 \times 10^{-6}}{2 \times 8.85 \times 10^{-12}}

           = 1.18 \times 10^{5} N/C

Now, we will consider that equilibrium of forces are present there. So,

                   ma = qE

       a = \frac{1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 1.18 \times 10^{5}}{1.67 \times 10^{-27}}

          = 1.13 \times 10^{13} m/s^2

According to the third equation of motion,

         v^{2} = 2 \times a \times d

or,      d = \frac{v^{2}}{2d}

             = \frac{(2.4 \times 10^{6})^{2}}{2 \times 1.13 \times 10^{13}}

             = 0.254 m

Thus, we can conclude that the proton will travel 0.254 m before reaching its turning point.

In the equation for the gravitational force between two objects, which quantity must be squared?
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

The distance between the two objects must be squared.

Explanation:

Gravitational force always act between two objects that have mass. The gravitational force is a weak force and attractive in nature.

The force of pull depends on the masses of the two objects and the distance between them.

The formula to calculate gravitational force between two objects having masses 'm' and 'M' and separated by a distance 'd' is given as:

F_g=\frac{GmM}{d^2}

Where, 'G' is called the universal gravitational constant and its value is equal to 6.674\times10^{-11}\ m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2}.

Now, from the above formula, it is clear that, the force of gravitation is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two objects.

Thus, the quantity that must be squared in the equation of gravitational force between two objects is the distance 'd'.

According to the spectrum seen below, which set of photons were absorbed by the element?
Effectus [21]
The correct choice is ' D ' .

These are the numbers that are missing from the set of blocks at
the top, and also the bars missing from the graph in the middle.

I have no idea what the strip at the bottom labeled "full energy spectrum"
is trying to tell us.
