A proton is moving toward a second, stationary proton. What happens as the protons get closer?

Physics

MatroZZZ [7]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

A. Kinetic energy is converted to electric potential energy, and the proton moves more slowly.

Explanation:

When a moving proton is brought close to a stationary one, the kinetic energy of the moving one is converted to electric potential  and the proton moves more slowly.

Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of a body. A moving proton will possess this form of energy.

Two protons according to coulombs law will repel each other with an electrostatic force because they both have similar charges. This will increase their electric potential energy of both of them.

Potential energy is the energy at rest of a body. As it increases, the motion of a body will be slower and it will tend towards being stationary.

Newton's third law of motion

Explanation:

Newton's third law of motion states that:

<em>"When an object A exerts a force on an object B (action force), then object B exerts an equal and opposite force (reaction force) on object A"</em>

It is important to note that this law is always valid, even when it seems it is not.

Consider for example the gravitational force that the Earth exerts on your body (= your weight). We can say that this is the action force. It may seems that there is no reaction force in this case. However, this is not true: in fact, your body also exerts an equal and opposite force on the Earth, and this is the reaction force. The reason that explains why we don't notice any effect on Earth due to this force is that the mass of the Earth is much larger than your mass, therefore the acceleration produced on the Earth because of the force you apply is negligible.

It is also important to note that the action-reaction pair of forces always act on two different objects, so they never appear in the same free-body diagram.

A train car has a mass of 10,000 kg and is moving at +3.0 m/s. It strikes an identical train car that is at rest. The train cars
VLD [36.1K]
In order to compute the final velocity of the trains, we may apply the principle of conservation of momentum which is:
initial momentum = final momentum
m₁v₁ = m₂v₂

The final mass of the trains will be:
10,000 + 10,000 = 20,000 kg
Substituting the values into the equation:

10,000 * 3 = 20,000 * v
v = 1.5 m/s

The final velocity of the trains will be 1.5 m/s

Add these measurements, using significant digit rules:
tia_tia [17]

Here we have to add the two measurements given in the question

The measurement values are given as 1.0090 cm and 0.02 cm.we have to  add them on the basis of significant figure rules.

As per the addition rule in terms of significant figures

1-First we have to select the number of significant digits after the decimal point of each quantity.

2-Now we have to remember that during the addition ,the resultant of two quantities will follow the quantity having least number of significant figures after the decimal point.

3-Here we are considering the minimum number of significant figures after the decimal points not the minimum number of significant figures in case of multiplication and division

Now we have to add these two quantities as per the above rule-

         1.0090 cm +0.02 cm

         =1.0290 cm

Here the result  will follow 0.02 which has minimum number of significant figures after the decimal points.

Hence we have to round off the number from 9 of 1.0290

As 9 is  greater than 5 ,so he actual result will be 1.03 cm
