Answer: particles move closer together
Explanation: If the motion of particles slows the particles move closer together. This is because the attraction between them pulls them toward each other. Strong attractive forces hold particles close together. As the motion of particles increases, particles move further apart.
The impulse J is equal to the magnitude of the force applied to the cannonball times the time it is applied:
But the impulse is also equal to the change in momentum of the cannonball:
If we put the two equations together, we find
And since we know the magnitude of the average force and the time, we can calculate the change in momentum:
The elastic potential energy (Ep) is given by
Data:
Ep = ? (Joule)
k = 20 N/m
x (displacement) = 0.20 m
Solving:
Answer: B - 8
Explanation: 8 protons because number of protons is equal to number of atoms in the nucleus.
