Answer: a) 127 eV; b) there is no change of kinetic energy.

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we have to use the change of potentail energy ( conservative field) is equal to changes in kinetic energy. So for the proton ther move to lower potential then they gain kinetic energy from the electric field.  This means the electric force do work in this trayectory and then the protons increased changes its speed.

If we replace the proton by a electron we have a very different situaction, the electrons are located in a lower potental then  they can not move to higher potential  if any  external force does work on the system.

In resumem, the electrons do not move from a point with V=87 to other point with V=-40 V. The electric force point to high potential so the electrons  can not move to lower potential region (V=-40V).

4. A 1,000 kg truck moving at 10 m/s runs into a concrete wall. It takes 0.5 seconds for the truck to conipietery
Maru [420]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{h. 20 000 N}}  

Explanation:

Force is the change in momentum over time

F = Δp/Δt

1. Calculate the change in momentum

p₁ = mv₁ = 1000 kg × 10 m/s = 10 000 kg·m·s⁻¹

p₂ = 0

Δp = p₂ - p₁= (0 - 10 000) kg·m·s⁻¹ = -10 000 kg·m·s⁻¹

2. Calculate the force

\begin{array}{rcl}F & = & \dfrac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}\\\\& = & \dfrac{-10 000 \text{ kg$\cdot$m$\cdot$ s}^{-1}}{\text{ 0.5 s}}\\\\& = & \textbf{-20 000 N}\\\end{array}\\\text{The negative sign shows that the force is exerted opposite to the direction of motion.}\\\text{The magnitude of the force is $\large \boxed{\textbf{20 000 N}}$}

How do modern scientist describe the make up of matter
lbvjy [14]

The matter is a collection or composition of extremely small particles called "Atoms".

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • The matter is anything that has mass and which utilizes space by having volume.
  • Modern scientists describe the makeup of matter as a collection of tiny substances called atoms.
  • Matter can either be in solid, liquid, or gaseous state and even appear in plasma form.
  • Matter can neither be created nor be destroyed but only transferred from one form to the other.
  • Atoms are composed protons, neutrons and electrons. The protons and neutrons are contained in the nucleus, while the electrons orbit around the nucleus of the atom.
  • Protons are positively charged, neutrons are neutral and electrons are negative.
