Speed is the rate of change of distance with time while velocity is the rate of change of displacement with time.
Speed is a scalar quantity while velocity is a vector quantity.
Speed cannot be negative but velocity can be negative.

Hope you could get an idea from here.

Atomic physicists usually ignore the effect of gravity within an atom. To see why, we may calculate and compare the magnitude of

STatiana [176]

Answer:

$2.27\cdot 10^{49}$

Explanation:

The gravitational force between the proton and the electron is given by

$F_G=G\frac{m_p m_e}{r^2}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

$m_p$ is the proton mass

$m_e$ is the electron mass

r = 3 m is the distance between the proton and the electron

Substituting numbers into the equation,

$F_G=(6.67259\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg s^{-2})\frac{(1.67262\cdot 10^{-27}kg) (9.10939\cdot 10^{-31}kg)}{(3 m)^2}=1.13\cdot 10^{-68}N$

The electrical force between the proton and the electron is given by

$F_E=k\frac{q_p q_e}{r^2}$

where

k is the Coulomb constant

$q_p = q_e = q$ is the elementary charge (charge of the proton and of the electron)

r = 3 m is the distance between the proton and the electron

Substituting numbers into the equation,

$F_E=(8.98755\cdot 10^9 Nm^2 C^{-2})\frac{(1.602\cdot 10^{-19}C)^2}{(3 m)^2}=2.56\cdot 10^{-19}N$

So, the ratio of the electrical force to the gravitational force is

$\frac{F_E}{F_G}=\frac{2.56\cdot 10^{-19} N}{1.13\cdot 10^{-68}N}=2.27\cdot 10^{49}$

So, we see that the electrical force is much larger than the gravitational force.

Describe two sources of earth's energy that are not produced

Anvisha [2.4K]

Here is the answer. Two sources of Earth's energy that are not produced would be Cosmic rays and Tidal Energy. Cosmic rays <span>are high-energy protons and atomic nuclei that come from outside the solar system. Whereas, tidal energy is the energy produced by both the moon (2/3) and the sun (1/3). Hope this answers your question.</span>

The Assignment: A fixed quantity of an ideal gas (R 0.28 kJ/kgK; Cv-0.71kJ/kgK) is expanded from an initial condition of 35 bar,

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Index of expansion: 4.93

Δu = -340.8 kJ/kg

q = 232.2 kJ/kg

Explanation:

The index of expansion is the relationship of pressures:

pi/pf

The ideal gas equation:

p1*v1/T1 = p2*v2/T2

p2 = p1*v1*T2/(T2*v2)

500 C = 773 K

20 C = 293 K

p2 = 35*0.1*773/(293*1.3) = 7.1 bar

The index of expansion then is 35/7.1 = 4.93

The variation of specific internal energy is:

Δu = Cv * Δt

Δu = 0.71 * (20 - 500) = -340.8 kJ/kg

The first law of thermodynamics

q = l + Δu

The work will be the expansion work

l = p2*v2 - p1*v1

35 bar = 3500000 Pa

7.1 bar = 710000 Pa

q = p2*v2 - p1*v1 + Δu

q = 710000*1.3 - 3500000*0.1 - 340800 = 232200 J/kg = 232.2 kJ/kg

How does a large star create the elements? at what element does the star stop making new elements?

Dahasolnce [82]

They are fused in the core of the star due to great pressures and temperatures. They are made all the way through iron. At that point the star dies. If it is a really large star it will become a supernova when it dies, creating all of the elements beyond iron as well, but only in its death. No star can create anything beyond iron in its life cycle

Question 4 options: The steps that lead you from dependence to independence are referred to as The _________ to Lifetime Fitness

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

Stairway.

Explanation:

The steps that lead you from dependence to independence are referred to as the stairway to Lifetime Fitness, Health, and Wellness.

This ultimately implies that, these stairway or steps are very important and essential for all humans who seek Lifetime Fitness, Health, and Wellness.

A good health can be defined as the state of well-being (wellness) in which all of the components of an individual's health are balanced. These state of wellness comprises of six (6) important components and they are;

1. Physical: this is a measure of the state of an individual's body or the way the body functions. It is enhanced by eating right, working out or exercising, avoiding drugs and alcohol, maintaining a good body mass index etc.

2. Emotional: this deals with the state of an individual's mind being void of worries, negativity etc.

3. Social: this involves keeping a good relationship with friends, family and many others around.

4. Environmental: it deals with maintaining a hygienic surrounding, that is devoid of pollutants.

5. Mental or intellectual: avoiding unnecessary stress and anxiety while dealing or coping with the realities of life.

6. Spiritual: it encompasses belief systems, values, ideals, morality etc.

Hence, when an individual is able to balance all of these above mentioned components, then he or she is said to be healthy.
