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!

1. A diver dives off of a raft - what happens to the diver? The raft? How does this relate to Newton's Third Law? Action Force:

Natali [406]

The Action Force of this scenario is the pushing force of the Diver. The Reaction Force is the raft pushing back on the diver.

The Third Law of Motion states that "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." Now when the diver dives off the raft, the raft is also pushing the same amount of force as the diver did as he dives off. The diver will then move forward and the raft on the other hand will move backwards.

The movement of the raft shows the opposite force. It will move backwards depending on how strong the diver will push off on the raft. And the amount of force he pushes on it, the raft will exert the same force so the stronger the force of the diver, the farther he will go because the raft will push him in that same direction as it goes backwards.

A city planner is working on the redesign of a hilly portion of a city. An important consideration is how steep the roads can be

Artyom0805 [142]

Explanation:

It is known that relation between force and acceleration is as follows.

F = $m \times a$

I is given that, mass is 1090 kg and acceleration is 21 m/s. Therefore, we will calculate force as follows.

F = $m \times a$

= $1090 \times (\frac{21}{16})$

= 1430.625 N

Also, it is known that

$sin(\theta) = \frac{\text{Force car can exert}}{\text{Force gravity pulls car}}$

$sin(\theta) = \frac{1430.625 N}{(1090 \times 9.8) N}$

$\theta$ = 7.70 degrees

Thus, we can conclude that the maximum steepness for the car to still be able to accelerate is 7.70 degrees.

there are two slides at the park between which you are deciding. Both start at the height of 6 meter. One is short and Steve whi

kumpel [21]

It doesn't matter. If the slides are truly frictionless, then
your kinetic energy at the bottom will be equal to the
potential energy you had at the top, no matter what kind
of route you took getting down.
___________________________

The only way I can think of that it would make a difference
would be if the shallow slide were REALLY REALLY long,
and you didn't have anything to eat all the way down.
Then you might lose some weight while you're on the slide,
and your mass might be less at the bottom than it was at the
top. Then, in order to have the same kinetic energy at the
bottom, you'd need to be going a little bit faster.

But if it takes less than, say, two or three days, to go down the
long, shallow slide, then this effect would probably be too small
to make any difference.

Modern human lifestyle depends on fossil fuels to generate electricity. Predict and explain the long term effect on the environm

Anit [1.1K]

Fossil fuels are non-renewable sources of energy as they are derived from pre-historic fossils and it is certain that they will deplete in the near future. 
The bigegst disadvantage of the fossil fuels is that they release carbon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide gasses, which lead to serious environmental issues such as air pollution. They are responsible for the global warming..
Besides the environmental effect, carbon dioxide can also cause serious health complications such as chronic asthma, low lung functioning, chronic bronchitis..
