The gravitational force is much larger than the electrical force for any distance between the particles.

Explanation:

The gravitational force between two particles is given by:

$F=\frac{Gm_1 m_2}{r^2}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

m1, m2 are the masses of the two particles

r is the separation between the two particles

The electric force between two particles is given by:

$F=\frac{kq_1 q_2}{r^2}$

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1, q2 are the charges of the two particles

r is the separation between the two particles

In this problem, we are comparing the gravitational force and the electric force between a proton and a neutron.

We must immediately notice that the charge of the neutron is zero, since it is electrically neutral:

q = 0

This means that the electric force between the proton and the neutron is always zero, regardless of their distance. And therefore, since their masses is not zero (and the gravitational force is never zero), the correct answer is

The gravitational force is much larger than the electrical force for any distance between the particles.

Hi!

Neutrons are neutral, which means they don't exactly have an electrical charge. It's because of this neutral charge that it is represented with a '0'.

On the other hand, protons and electrons <em>do </em>have electrical charges. Electrons flow around the outside of the nucleus, with a negative charge.

Protons are stored in the nucleus with the neutrons, holding a positive charge.

Hopefully, this helps! =)

A 2 N and an 8 N force pull on an object to the right and a 4 N force pulls on the same object to the left. If the object has a

Elden [556K]

Answer:

a = 12 [m/s²]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law which tells us that the sum of forces on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

ΣF = m*a

where:

ΣF = sum of forces acting on a body [N] (units of Newtons)

m = mass = 0.5 [kg]

a = acceleration [m/s²]

Let's take the direction of positive forces to the right and negative forces directed to the left

2 + 8 - 4 = 0.5*a

6 = 0.5*a

a = 12 [m/s²]

Which is a characteristic that makes electromagnetic waves and water waves different

Paraphin [41]

We know that a wave is a disturbance that transfers energy through matter or space There are two main types of waves: Mechanical and Electromagnetic. Water waves are mechanical. A mechanical wave is an oscillation of matter to transfers energy, but you always need a medium (substance such as: solid, liquid, gas, plasma) to transport it. The medium for water waves is, in fact, the water. For example, ripple in water is a surface wave. On the other hand, electromagnetic waves don't need a medium to transport, they can do it through the empty space. Then, this is the major characteristic that makes these two types of waves different.
