Explanation :

From the given figure, point P is located in the electric field between two oppositely charged parallel plates.

If an electron is placed at point P, it will repel by the negative plate of the capacitor and will move towards positive plate i.e. from the negative plate to positive plate.

Similarly, when a proton is placed at point P, it will attract towards the negative plate i.e. the direction of the proton will be from positive plate to negative plate.

We know that the electrostatic force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance.

So, the electrostatic force on a proton placed at point P has a greater magnitude and the opposite direction".

As proton is heavier then electron, and electrostatic force is directly proportional to mass, so it would be greater and direction would be changed 'cause of different charges.

In short, Your Answer would be Option 4

Hope this helps!

If chilled coke and hot tea are <br> kept together tea cools down but ko gets warm why<br>

olga55 [171]

Tea gets cool beacuse of heat tranfer through convenction
Heat transfers from a area of hot region to cold.
The tea is hot in this case, due to taht factor the heat will move towards teh cooler region which is coke and will make the coke warm

You and a highway patrolman are driving at constant speeds in opposite directions on a straight highway. The patrolman is drivin

kompoz [17]

Answer: 75 mph

Explanation:

The Relative Speed for a mobile is equal to the diference between the object and the observer:

Relative Speed (Rs) = Object's Velocity - Observer's Velocity

Thinking on those terms, we would need to have a universal observer to do any understandable measurement on daily basics. This is why we all use earth as a Static Observer for every measurement we do everyday.

Using Earth as an observer, the Velocity for the Patrolman is:

Patrolman Velocity (Vp) = 60 mph

Because the radar gun does measure the Relative Speed for the object, which is 135 mph, we need to work with the equation to find the Velocity using Earth as a reference.

Object's Relative Velocity = Object's Velocity - Patrolman's Velocity

Object's Velocity = Object's Relative Velocity + Patrolman's Velocity

We need to keep in mind, the Patrolman is going on the opposite direction. Because of this the sign for his velocity should be negative.

Object's Velocity = 135 mph + ( -60 mph)

Object's Velocity = 135 mph - 60 mph

Object's Velocity = 75 mph
