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.

Suggest reasons why poaching for subsistence is likely to be less damaging to the biodiversity of an area than poaching for prof
dlinn [17]
An example for ruining a biodiversity is fishing. The two factors that have contributed to increased fishing in deep ocean waters in recent years are the human population growth and decreased fishing opportunities inshore. Increase population growth increases the demand for food which also leads to increase in fish demand. Because the fish demand is high, inshore fishing opportunities decrease that is why deep ocean waters is the new venue for fishing. This may sound absurd but poaching for subsistence is likely to be less damaging to he biodiversity <span>of an area than poaching for profit. Because the people do not care anymore to the biodiversity that they interrupted just to get back more profit. They do not care what must be taken from it like getting bigger fishes and leaving the smaller ones behind to maintain productivity.</span>

Which describes the movement of a fluid during convection?
VikaD [51]
The movement of a fluid during convection is a circular/oval motion since the fluid at the top sinks and the fluid at the bottom rises.

Hope this helps :)
