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.

When she starts out, he is (40x2.5)= 100 miles ahead of her.

She gains (65-40)= 25 miles on him every hour.

It takes her (100/25)= 4 hours to catch up to him.

mylen [45]
The category of galaxy which does not have a distinctive shape is D. an irregular galaxy.
A spiral galaxy has a spiral shape, an elliptical galaxy has an elliptical shape, and a barred-spiral galaxy has a barred-spiral shape. The only galaxy type which does not have a constant shape is an irregular galaxy.

How is force related to math
dybincka [34]

Answer:

Newton's second law of motion describes the relationship between force and acceleration. They are directly proportional. If you increase the force applied to an object, the acceleration of that object increases by the same factor. In short, force equals mass times acceleration.

physical changes occur when existing bonds break and new bonds form
Luba_88 [7]
<span>A physical change is any change that alters the form or appearance of a substance but does not change it into another substance 
-Some of the physical properties may be altered, but the chemical composition stays the same 
-Examples: Bending, Crushing, Cutting, Melting, Freezing, Boiling</span>
