Answer:

the force experienced by both particles will be of same magnitude as the magnitude of charge is same for both particles but with different sign, the acceleration of both particles will be same in magnitude but opposite in direction, the direction of free electron will be opposite to the direction of electric field whereas the direction of proton will be in the direction of electric field,

Explanation:

the force experienced by both particles can be calculated by the formula

F=|q|E

the acceleration can be calculated by Newton's 2nd law i.e F=ma

the direction of electric field is always towards the positive charge so proton will be directed towards electric field and free electron will be directed away from the electric field.

Any push or pull on an object is Question 5 options: Acceleration Velocity Force Inertia
Kobotan [32]
This would be force. Acceleration is increasing the speed in an object and velocity is how fast an object is going. Also, inertia basically says that an object will stay at rest or in motion unless an outside force acts on it. So, for example, a ball will stay in the air unless gravity acts on it and pulls it down. By definition, force is any action, unopposed (or by itself without any other forces that would do the opposite) will change the motion of an object, so this definitely makes the most sense for the question. Hope this helps!

Q. No. 9 A body falls freely from the top of a tower and during the last second of its fall, it falls through 25m. Find the heig
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

45.6m

Explanation:

The equation for the position y of an object in free fall is:

y=-\frac{1}{2} gt^2+v_0t+y_0

With the given values in the question the equation has one unknown v₀:

v_0=\frac{y-y_0}{t}+\frac{1}{2}gt

Solving for t=1:

1) v_0=y-y_0+\frac{g}{2}

To find the hight of the tower you can use the concept of energy conservation:

The energy of the body 1 sec before it hits the ground:

2) E=\frac{1}{2}m{v_0}^2+mgy_0

If h is the height of the tower, the energy on top of the tower:

3) E=mgh

Combining equation 2 and 3 and solving for h:

4) h=\frac{{v_0}^2}{2g}+y_0

Combining equation 1 and 4:

h=\frac{{(y-y_0+\frac{g}{2}})^2}{2g}+y_0

How long does water evaporation take? What factors influence it?
svetoff [14.1K]
There is no certain time on how long it takes. Because the factors will always be different and the factors heavily affect the evaporation time. Some factors include: humidity, heat, how the sun is visible (whether clouds are covering it or not)
