The potential energy of a pair of hydrogen atoms separated by a large distance .x is given by L/(x) = —C6/x6, where C6 is a posi

tive constant. What is the force that one atom exerts on the other? Is this force attractive or repulsive?

4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

The force that one atom exerts on the other is the negative derivative of the potential energy = \frac{-dL(x)}{dx}

F(x) = - \frac{d}{dx}( -C₆ / x⁷) = - (- (-6) C₆ x⁻⁶ ⁻¹) = - 6C₆ /x⁷

when xis negative, F is positive and when x is positive, F is negative. It is therefore and attractive force and F is always directed to the center

A -5.0 μC charge experiences a 11 i^ N electric force in a certain electric field. [Recall that i^ is a unit vector in the x-dir
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

\vec{F}= -3.52\times 10^{-13}\hat{i}\ N

Explanation:

given,

charge = -5.0 μC

Electric force, F = 11 i^ N

force would a proton experience = ?

we know

\vec{F} = q \vec{E}

11\hat{i} = -5 \times 10^{-6} \vec{E}

\vec{E} =-2.2 \times 10^{6}\hat{i}

we know charge of proton is equal to 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

using formula

\vec{F} = q \vec{E}

\vec{F}= 1.6 \times 10^{-19}\times -2.2 \times 10^{6}\hat{i}

\vec{F}= -3.52\times 10^{-13}\hat{i}\ N

Force experienced by the photon in the same field is equal to \vec{F}= -3.52\times 10^{-13}\hat{i}\ N

Which law of thermodynamics would be violated if heat were to spontaneously flow between two objects of equal temperature?
maks197457 [2]
<span>Actually the second law of thermodynamics would truly gets violated ie, which means that the entrophy changes of the isolated system can never be negative, which covers the above that if heat were to spontaneously flow between any two objects of equal temperature would be fully violated.</span>

Who water rocket starts from rest and roses straight up with an acceleration of 5 m/s until it runs out of water 2.5 seconds lat
Kitty [74]

Answer:

23. 4375 m

Explanation:

There are two parts of the rocket's motion

1 ) accelerating  (assume it goes upto  h1 height )

using motion equations upwards

s = ut+\frac{1}{2}*a*t^{2} \\h_1=0+\frac{1}{2}*5*2.5^{2} \\=15.625 m

Lets find the velocity after 2.5 seconds (V1)

V = U +at

V1 = 0 +5*2.5 = 12.5 m/s  

2) motion under gravity (assume it goes upto  h2 height )

now there no acceleration from the rocket. it is now subjected to the gravity

using motion equations upwards (assuming g= 10m/s² downwards)

V²= U² +2as

0 = 12.5²+2*(-10)*h2

h2 = 7.8125 m

maximum height = h1 + h2

                            = 15.625 + 7.8125

                            = 23. 4375 m

A 1.00 -kg object slides to the right on a surface having a coefficient of kinetic friction 0.250 (Fig. P8.62a). The object has
LekaFEV [45]

The distance D where the object comes to rest is 1.08.m.

<h3>What is the distance?</h3>
  • The separation of one thing from another in space; the distance or separation in space between two objects, points, lines, etc.; remoteness. The distance of seven miles cannot be accomplished in one hour of walking.
  • Learn how to use the Pythagorean theorem to get the separation between two points using the distance formula. The Pythagorean theorem can be rewritten as d==(((x 2-x 1)2+(y 2-y 1)2)
  • The distance between any two places is the length of the line segment separating them. By measuring the length of the line segment that connects the two points in coordinate geometry, the distance between them may be calculated.

(c) the distance D where the object comes to rest.

W_{total} =ΔKE ⇒ -0.25*1*9.8*D = 0-1/2*1*2.3^{2}

⇒D=\frac{0.5*2.3^{2} }{2.45}

⇒1.08.m

Which part of the electromagnetic spectrum is divided into seven ranges of wavelengths and is the part visible to the human eye
oksano4ka [1.4K]
In one of the most amazing coincidences in all of science,
the part of the electromagnetic spectrum that's visible to the
human eye is called "visible light".

Visible light is not 'divided' into anything. We mention the names
to seven of the colors in visible light. But all of the thousands of
OTHER colors that we can see are in there too, even though we
don't bother to list their names when we buzz through the rainbow
in the third grade.
