Answer:

The magnitude of the electric field is 3.8 × 10⁵⁸ N/C and it is in the negative x- direction.

Explanation:

From work-kinetic energy principles, the kinetic energy change of the proton equals the work done by the electric field.

So, ΔK = W

1/2m(v₂² - v₁²) = qEd where m = mass of proton = 1.673 × 10⁻²⁷ kg, v₁ = initial speed of proton = 3.5 × 10⁶ m/s, v₂ = final speed of proton = 0 m/s, q = proton charge = + e = 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C, E = electric field and d = distance moved by proton = x₂ - x₁ , x₁ = 20 cm and x₂ = 80 cm. So, d = 80 cm - 20 cm = 60 cm = 0.6 m

1/2m(v₂² - v₁²) = qEd

E = (v₂² - v₁²)/2mqd

substituting the values of the variables into E, we have

E = ((0 m/s)² - (3.5 × 10⁶ m/s)²)/(2 × 1.673 × 10⁻²⁷ kg × 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C × 0.6 m)

E = - 12.25 × 10¹² m²/s² ÷ 3.22 × 10⁻⁴⁶

E = -3.8 × 10⁵⁸ N/C

So, the magnitude of the electric field is 3.8 × 10⁵⁸ N/C and it is in the negative x- direction.

How does solubility change with temperature changes?
matrenka [14]

Answer:

Solubility increases with temperature.

Explanation:

-Increasing temperatures, increases the kinetic energy that allows solvent molecules to more effectively break apart the solute molecules.

-This solute molecules are held together by intermolecular attractions which weakens in higher temperatures.

-Solubility therefore increases with increasing temperatures.

A ball is launched with initial speed v from ground level up a frictionless slope (This means the ball slides up the slope witho
amid [387]

Answer:

hmax = 1/2 · v²/g

Explanation:

Hi there!

Due to the conservation of energy and since there is no dissipative force (like friction) all the kinetic energy (KE) of the ball has to be converted into gravitational potential energy (PE) when the ball comes to stop.

KE = PE

Where KE is the initial kinetic energy and PE is the final potential energy.

The kinetic energy of the ball is calculated as follows:

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

Where:

m = mass of the ball

v = velocity.

The potential energy is calculated as follows:

PE = m · g · h

Where:

m = mass of the ball.

g = acceleration due to gravity (known value: 9.81 m/s²).

h = height.

At  the maximum height, the potential energy is equal to the initial kinetic energy because the energy is conserved, i.e, all the kinetic energy was converted into potential energy (there was no energy dissipation as heat because there was no friction). Then:

PE = KE

m · g · hmax = 1/2 · m · v²

Solving  for hmax:

hmax = 1/2 · v² / g

Amanda [17]

Answer:

(A) 667.5 N/m

(B)

Explanation:

(A) Let the spring constant be k.

Using the formula F = kx

k = 251 / 0.376

K = 667.5 N/m

(B)

Work done

W = 0.5 × kx^2

W = 0.5 × 667.5 × 0.376 × 0.376

W = 47.2 J
