It is required an infinite work. The additional electron will never reach the origin.

In fact, assuming the additional electron is coming from the positive direction, as it approaches x=+1.00 m it will become closer and closer to the electron located at x=+1.00 m. However, the electrostatic force between the two electrons (which is repulsive) will become infinite when the second electron reaches x=+1.00 m, because the distance d between the two electrons is zero:
F=k_e  \frac{q_e q_e}{d^2}
So, in order for the additional electron to cross this point, it is required an infinite amount of work, which is impossible.

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

Statement 1) False

Statement 2) False

Statement 3) True

Explanation:

The uncertainty principle states that " in a physical system certain quantities cannot be measured with random precision no matter whatever the least count of the instrument is" or we can say while measuring simultaneously the position and momentum of a particle the error involved is

P\cdot\delta x\geq \frac{h}{4\pi }

Thus if we measure x component of momentum of a particle with 100% precision we cannot measure it's position 100% accurately as the error will be always there.

Statement 1 is false since measurement of x and y positions has no relation to uncertainty.

Statement 2 is false as both the momentum components can be measured with 100% precision.

Statement 3 is true as as demanded by uncertainty principle since they are along same co-ordinates.

Ancient Greek philosophers spent lots of time thinking about science and imaging explanations for the natural world. What part o
Illusion [34]

Answer:

Testing

Explanation:

Ancient Greek philosophers lived with the ideology to simply contemplate life. This means that their whole life revolved around thinking and questioning everything. This would include creative thinking, because they would sometimes come up with theories which require creativeness. They would often debate with their friends as to why their theory should be accepted or what their opinions were on the matter. More often than not, they argued a lot, and many philosophers went against some powerful people in the community and some were even sentenced to death.

The main process they didn't/couldn't do was the testing. They could never test certain theories because they did not have the means to.

Tanya [424]

Answer: Normal force, N = 141.64 Newton

Explanation:

All the forces acting on the system and described in free body diagram  are:

1) gravitational pull in downward direction  

2) Normal force in upward direction

3) External force of 40 N acting at an angle of 37° with the horizontal can be resolved in two rectangular components:

  i) F Cos 37° along the horizontal plane  in forward direction and

  ii) F Sin 37° along the vertical plane in downward direction

Applying the Newton's second law, net forces in the vertical plane are:

Net force, f = N - (mg + F Sin 37°)

As there is no acceleration in the vertical plane hence, net force f = 0.

So,

N - (mg + F Sin 37°) = 0

Adding (mg + F Sin 37°) both the sides in above equation, we get

N = mg + F Sin 37°

N = 12 \times 9.8 + 40 \times 0.601      because (Sin 37° = 0.601)

N = 117.6 + 24.04

N = 141.64 Newton
