What provides the energy for the conversion from the open complex to chain elongation?

Two protons are maintained at a separation of nm. Calculate the electric potential due to the two particles at the midpoint betw

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

The electric potential is approximately 5.8 V

The resulting direction of the electric field will lie on the line that joins the charges but since it is calculated in the midpoint and the charges are the same we can directly say that its magnitude is zero

Explanation:

The two protons can be considered as point charges. Therefore, the electric potential is given by the point charge potential:

$\displaystyle{U=\frac{q}{4\pi \epsilon_0r}}$ (1)

where $q$ is the charge of the particle, $\epsilon_0$ the electric permittivity of the vacuum (I assuming the two protons are in a vacuum) and $r$ is the distance from the point charge to the point where the potential is being measured. Because the electric potential is an scalar, we can simply add the contribution of the two potentials in the midpoint between the protons. Thus:

$\displaystyle{U_{midpoint}=\frac{q}{4\pi \epsilon_0r}}+\frac{q}{4\pi \epsilon_0r}}=\frac{q}{2\pi \epsilon_0r}}}$

Substituting the values $q=1.602 \cdot10^{-19}\ C$ , $\displaystyle{\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}=8.99\cdot 10^9 N\cdot m^2\cdot C^{-2}}$ and $r=0.5 \cdot 10^{-9} m$ we obtain:

$\displaystyle{U_{midpoint}=\frac{q}{2\pi \epsilon_0r}}=5.759 \approx 5.8 V}$

The resulting direction of the electric field will lie on the line that joins the charges but since it is calculated in the midpoint and the charges are the same we can directly say that its magnitude is zero.

Your friend says that if Newton’s third law is correct, no object would ever start moving. Here is his argument: You pull a sled

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

You pull a sled exerting a 50 N force on it , sled also exerts a force on you . These forces are action and reaction force , as per third law of Newton . These two forces are equal and opposite . But they do not act on the same object so they do not cancel each other . They act on different objects , one on the sledge and the other on you . Due to force on sledge , sledge moves in the direction of force or towards you . You will start moving in opposite direction if frictional force of ground is nil or less .

You kick a soccer ball across a field the ball travels across the field and slowly comes to a stop. Since the ball slowly comes

Answer:

It slowly decreases and the friction acting on it slowing it down becomes the bigger net force, if that makes sense :)

Water _____.

Water expands when it freezes (that's why you should never put closed, fully filled water bottles in the freezer !)
