What is seafloor spreading

If you throw a raw egg against a wall, you'll break it, but if you throw it with the same speed into a sagging sheet it won't br

SashulF [63]

<span>The egg doesn't break when it hits the sheet because the impact time is longer. Momentum means the egg is slowed rather than coming to an abrubt halt. The softer the object that the egg hits, the longer the time it takes to break. A sheet is so soft that the force is never high enough for the egg to break.</span>

Two protons are maintained at a separation of nm. Calculate the electric potential due to the two particles at the midpoint betw

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

The electric potential is approximately 5.8 V

The resulting direction of the electric field will lie on the line that joins the charges but since it is calculated in the midpoint and the charges are the same we can directly say that its magnitude is zero

Explanation:

The two protons can be considered as point charges. Therefore, the electric potential is given by the point charge potential:

$\displaystyle{U=\frac{q}{4\pi \epsilon_0r}}$ (1)

where $q$ is the charge of the particle, $\epsilon_0$ the electric permittivity of the vacuum (I assuming the two protons are in a vacuum) and $r$ is the distance from the point charge to the point where the potential is being measured. Because the electric potential is an scalar, we can simply add the contribution of the two potentials in the midpoint between the protons. Thus:

$\displaystyle{U_{midpoint}=\frac{q}{4\pi \epsilon_0r}}+\frac{q}{4\pi \epsilon_0r}}=\frac{q}{2\pi \epsilon_0r}}}$

Substituting the values $q=1.602 \cdot10^{-19}\ C$ , $\displaystyle{\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}=8.99\cdot 10^9 N\cdot m^2\cdot C^{-2}}$ and $r=0.5 \cdot 10^{-9} m$ we obtain:

$\displaystyle{U_{midpoint}=\frac{q}{2\pi \epsilon_0r}}=5.759 \approx 5.8 V}$

The resulting direction of the electric field will lie on the line that joins the charges but since it is calculated in the midpoint and the charges are the same we can directly say that its magnitude is zero.

Hi i have homework can you help me

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Explanation:

The particle will be at rest when its velocity $v(t)$ is equal to zero. Recall that the velocity is simply the derivative of the position $x(t)$ with respect to time:

$v(t) = \dfrac{dx}{dt}$

Since $x(t) = t^2 - 2t + 2$

then

$v(t) = \dfrac{d}{dt}(t^2 - 2t + 2) = 2t - 2 = 0$

Solving for t, we find that the particle will be at rest at

$t = 1\:\text{s}$
