Answer:

Work done by the electric force as one of the charges moves to an empty corner is 25.71 KJ

Explanation:

Work done on a unit positive charge = Electric field potential X distance moved by the charge.

Electric field potential = (Kq)/r²

Where;

k is coulomb's constant = 8.99 X 10⁹ Nm²/C²

q is magnitude of point charge = 4.0 x 10⁻⁶ C

r is the distance between the point charges = 0.715 m

Then, Work done on a unit positive charge =  (Kq)/r² X r

Work done on a unit positive charge = (kq)/r

Work done on a unit positive charge = (8.99 X 10⁹ X 4.0 x 10⁻⁶)/0.715

Work done on a unit positive charge = 25.71 X 10³ J = 25.71 KJ

Therefore, work done by the electric force as one of the charges moves to an empty corner is 25.71 KJ

Soloha48 [4]

An object with non-zero mass (even negligible mass is non-zero) will never reach the speed of light. Due to relativistic effects, each "unit" of acceleration becomes less effective at increasing your velocity (relative to some other object, of course) as your relative velocity approaches the speed of light.

And even if there was a way, If you would accelerate to the 99,99% of the speed light in just 1 second, you would experience a G-force of aprox. 30,600,000 g's which is enough to kill you in a few seconds

STatiana [176]

Answer:

2.27\cdot 10^{49}

Explanation:

The gravitational force between the proton and the electron is given by

F_G=G\frac{m_p m_e}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

m_p is the proton mass

m_e is the electron mass

r = 3 m is the distance between the proton and the electron

Substituting numbers into the equation,

F_G=(6.67259\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg s^{-2})\frac{(1.67262\cdot 10^{-27}kg) (9.10939\cdot 10^{-31}kg)}{(3 m)^2}=1.13\cdot 10^{-68}N

The electrical force between the proton and the electron is given by

F_E=k\frac{q_p q_e}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb constant

q_p = q_e = q is the elementary charge (charge of the proton and of the electron)

r = 3 m is the distance between the proton and the electron

Substituting numbers into the equation,

F_E=(8.98755\cdot 10^9 Nm^2 C^{-2})\frac{(1.602\cdot 10^{-19}C)^2}{(3 m)^2}=2.56\cdot 10^{-19}N

So, the ratio of the electrical force to the gravitational force is

\frac{F_E}{F_G}=\frac{2.56\cdot 10^{-19} N}{1.13\cdot 10^{-68}N}=2.27\cdot 10^{49}

So, we see that the electrical force is much larger than the gravitational force.

Vlada [557]

Answer:

The answer is "telescopes".

Explanation:

Throughout ancient times, astronomical observatories have indeed been available, and so many historical locations were reserved for astronomical observations. All contemporary astronomers lacked within those older telescopes were lenses until 1610. A telescope is indeed an instrument used to view far-off objects. Telescopes often are being used to look at planets and stars.
