Answer:

\vec{a} = -(9.8~{\rm m/s^2})\^y

Explanation:

Regardless of the initial velocity of the pebble, the acceleration of the pebble is equal to the gravitational acceleration which is equal to 9.8 m/s2 towards downwards direction.

This can be shown by Newton's Second Law. According to the law, the net force applied on an object is equal to mass times acceleration of that object.

During the downward motion, the only force acting on the pebble is the gravitational force, hence its acceleration is equal to gravitational acceleration.

Question #14

The decrease in energy in the hydrogen molecule is what allows its formation on Earth, but in stars the great energy of the explosion has a kinetic energy so great that electrons cannot bind to another atom, which is why hydrogen has a single atom.

The hydrogen molecule is a form that two hydrogen atoms share their electrons decreasing the total energy of the molecule, this bond has a covalent and hydrogen bonding characteristic.

In a stellar explosion, the energy released increases the energy of the hydrogen atom, for which we have two possibilities:

  • Its electron is lost, so we are in a single proton, in the case of structures where the proton and the elector are
  • The hydrogen atom remains but the energy of the atom is very high so the kinetic energy of the electron prevents the electron from being shared by the other atom and the molecule cannot be formed.

When the atoms are thrown into space, the separation between them is so high that it does not allow electrons to be shared and molecules cannot be formed either.

In conclusion, the decrease in energy in the hydrogen molecule is what allows its formation on Earth, but in stars the great energy of the explosion has a kinetic energy so great that electrons cannot join another atom, which is why the hydrogen has only one atom.

Answer:

v =  6.45 10⁻³ m / s

Explanation:

Electric force is

               F = q E

Where q is the charge and E is the electric field

Let's use Newton's second law to find acceleration

                F- W = m a

               a = F / m - g

               a = q / m E  g

Let's calculate

               a = -1.6 10⁻¹⁹ / 9.1 10⁻³¹ (-1.30 10⁻¹⁰) - 9.8

              a = 0.228 10² -9.8

              a=  13.0 m / s²

Now we can use kinematics, knowing that the resting parts electrons

              v² = v₀² + 2 a y

              v =√ (0 + 2 13.0 1.6 10⁻⁶)

            v =  6.45 10⁻³ m / s
