Calculate the force of gravity on the 0.60- kg mass if it were 1.3×107 m above Earth's surface (that is, if it were three Earth

nignag [31]

The gravitational force between two objects is given by:
$F=G \frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}$
where
G is the gravitational constant
m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects
r is their separation

In this problem, the first object has a mass of $m_1=0.60 kg$ , while the second "object" is the Earth, with mass $m_2=5.97 \cdot 10^{24}kg$ . The distance of the object from the Earth's center is $r=1.3 \cdot 10^7 m$ ; if we substitute these numbers into the equation, we find the force of gravity exerted by the Earth on the mass of 0.60 kg:
$F=G \frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11}) \frac{(0.60 kg)(5.97 \cdot 10^{24} kg)}{(1.3 \cdot 10^7 m)^2}= 1.41 N$

An electron is released from rest at a distance of 6.00 cm from a proton. If the proton is held in place, how fast will the elec

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

91.87 m/s

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

x = initial distance of the electron from the proton = 6 cm = 0.06 m

y = initial distance of the electron from the proton = 3 cm = 0.03 m
u = initial velocity of the electron = 0 m/s

<u>Assume:</u>

m = mass of an electron = $9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg$
v = final velocity of the electron
e = magnitude of charge on an electron = $1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

p = magnitude of charge on a proton = $1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

We know that only only electric field due to proton causes to move from a distance of 6 cm from proton to 3 cm distance from it. This means the electric force force does work on the electron to move it from one initial position to the final position which is equal to the change in potential energy of the electron due to proton.

Now, according to the work-energy theorem, the total work done by the electric force on the electron due to proton is equal to the kinetic energy change in it.

$\therefore \textrm{Kinetic energy change}= \textrm{Change in potential energy}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)= \dfrac{kpe}{y}-\dfrac{kpe}{x}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-(0)^2)= \dfrac{kpe}{0.03}-\dfrac{kpe}{0.06}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2= \dfrac{100kpe}{3}-\dfrac{100kpe}{6}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2= \dfrac{100kpe}{6}\\$

$\Rightarrow v^2= \dfrac{100kpe\times 2}{6m}\\\Rightarrow v^2= \dfrac{100kpe}{3m}\\\Rightarrow v^2= \dfrac{100\times 9\times 10^9\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{3\times 9.1\times 10^{-31}}\\\Rightarrow v^2=8.44\times 10^3\\\Rightarrow v=91.87\ m/s\\$
