A proton with mass 1.67*10^-27kg is propelled at an initialspeed of 3.00*10^5m/s directly toward a uranium nucleus 5.00maway. Th
Tresset [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

F = 2.12 x 10⁻²⁶ / x²

Work done by electric field of nucleus

W = ∫ Fdx

= ∫2.12 x 10⁻²⁶ / x² dx

= 2.12 x 10⁻²⁶ ( - 1 / x )

= - 2.12 x 10⁻²⁶ ( 1/5 - 1 / 8 x 10⁻¹⁰ )

= - .265 x 10⁻¹⁶ J

1/ 2 x mv² = .5 x 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ x 9 x 10¹⁰ - .265 x 10⁻¹⁶

= 7.515 x 10⁻¹⁷ - .265 x 10⁻¹⁶

=( .7515 - .265 )x 10⁻¹⁶

= .4865 x 10⁻¹⁶

.5 x 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ x v² = .4865 x 10⁻¹⁶

v² = .5826 x 10¹¹

v² = 5.826 x 10¹⁰

v = 2.41 x 10⁵ m /s

b )

Let r be the closest distance

Potential at this point

2.12 x 10⁻²⁶ (  1 / r )

Kinetic energy

= 0

Total energy = 2.12 x 10⁻²⁶ (  1 / r )

Total energy at 5 m

= .5 x 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ x 9 x 10¹⁰ + 0 ( potential energy at 5 m will be negligible as compared with that near the center )

= 7.515 x 10⁻¹⁷ J

So ,

2.12 x 10⁻²⁶ (  1 / r ) = 7.515 x 10⁻¹⁷

r = 2.12 x 10⁻²⁶ / 7.515 x 10⁻¹⁷

= .282 x 10⁻⁹

= 2.82 x 10⁻¹⁰ m

c ) As electric field is conservative , no dissipation of energy takes place . Hence its speed at 5m on returning back to this point will be same as

3.00 x 10⁵ m /s

What happens to the forces acting on a falling object at terminal velocity?
xenn [34]

Answer: Objects falling through a fluid eventually reach terminal velocity. At terminal velocity, the object moves at a steady speed in a constant direction because the resultant force acting on it is zero.

Why is it important to have a balanced centrifuge?
ratelena [41]

It is important to properly balance a centrifuge because an unbalanced machine can damage the rotor, cause catastrophic damage to the machine itself, or even injure or kill lab personnel working in the room. Balancing a centrifuge involves spreading the weight of the samples across the entire rotor.
