Hydrogen has a single proton and a single electron. Find the electric potential at a distance of 0.50 * 10^(-10) (m) from the proton.

Ve = kQ/r = ((8.99 * 10^9) * (1.6 * 10 ^-19))/(0.5 * 10^-10) = 28.77 = 29 V

A car of mass 1000 kg is travelling at 20 (m/s). The car crashes into a tree, and comes to a complete halt in 0.05s. Calculate the force acting on the car during the collision.

We are asked for the force acting on the car and we know from Newton's second law that F = ma Therefore, we need to calculate the acceleration first. We use a = (vf - vo)/(t - to) where vf = final speed, ...

The perimeter of a right-angled triangle is 72 cm. The lengths of its sides are in the ratio 3 : 4 : 5. Work out the area of the triangle.

As we know the ratio of the sides is 3:4:5, label the sides x,y and z respectively. Side x is of length (3/12)*72, side y is of length (4/12)*72 and side z is of length (5/12)72. Giving, x = 18cm, y =...
