It is called "distance". In fact, distance measures how far apart two points are from each other, and it is always a positive number.
In mathematics, for instance, the distance between two points of coordinates (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) on a xy-plane is defined as
d= \sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2 + (y_1-y_2)^2}
and by definition, this number is always positive.

bulgar [2K]
<span>Mass of rock 1 is m1 = 10 kg Mass of rock 2 is m2 = 20 kg 10-kg rock takes T (the same time ) to reach the ground as similar to 20-kg rock that takes time T to reach the ground. If no air resistance is present, the rate of descent depends only on how far the object has fallen, no matter how heavy the object is. This means that two objects will reach the ground at the same time if they are dropped simultaneously from the same height. This statement follows from the law of conservation of energy and has been demonstrated experimentally by dropping a feather and a lead ball in an airless tube. When air resistance plays a role, the shape of the object becomes important. THUS 10-KG & 20-KG ROCK reaches the ground in T-time</span>

A proton moves through an electric potential created by a number of source charges. Its speed is 2.5X105 m/s at a point where th
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

(6.67 × 10⁵) m/s

Explanation:

What will be the proton's speed a short time later when it reaches a point where the potential is -500V.

According to the law of comservation of energy, the sum of potential and kinetic energy of the proton at any point in time is always constant.

P.E₁ + K.E₁ = P.E₂ + K.E₂

P.E₁ = U₁ = qV₁

q = charge on the proton = (1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹) C

V₁ = 1500 V

P.E₁ = U₁ = (1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹) × (1500) = (2.403 × 10⁻¹⁶) J

K.E₁ = (1/2)mv₁²

m = mass of a proton = (1.673 × 10⁻²⁷) kg

v₁ = (2.5 × 10⁵) m/s

K.E₁ = (1/2)(1.673×10⁻²⁷)(2.5 × 10⁵)² = (5.23 × 10⁻¹⁷) J

P.E₂ = U₂ = qV₂

q = charge on the proton = (1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹) C

V₂ = -500 V

P.E₂ = U₂ = (1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹) × (-500) = (-8.01 × 10⁻¹⁷) J

K.E₂ = ?

P.E₁ + K.E₁ = P.E₂ + K.E₂

(2.403 × 10⁻¹⁶) + (5.23 × 10⁻¹⁷) = (-8.01 × 10⁻¹⁷) + K.E₂

K.E₂ = (2.403 × 10⁻¹⁶) + (5.23 × 10⁻¹⁷) + (8.01 × 10⁻¹⁷) = (3.727 × 10⁻¹⁶) J

K.E₂ = (1/2)mv₂²

m = (1.673 × 10⁻²⁷) kg

v₂ = ?

(3.727 × 10⁻¹⁶) = (1/2)(1.673 × 10⁻²⁷)v₂²

v₂² = (4.455 × 10¹¹)

v₂ = 667,457.863839 m/s = (6.67 × 10⁵) m/s

Hope this Helps!!!!
