Let K.E_{i} be the intial K.E and K.E_{new} be new K.E,

I_{new} = \frac{2}{5} I _{i}

K.E_{i} =  \frac{I_{i} w^{2} }{2} --- (i)
K.E_{new} =  \frac{I_{new}w^{2}  }{2}

Therefore, 
K.E_{new} =  \frac{2I_{i}w^{2} }{5*2} ----(ii)


Dividing i and ii,

\frac{K.E_{new} }{K.E_{i} } =  \frac{2}{5}

The protons and electrons are held in place on the x axis.
The proton is at x = -d and the electron is at x = +d. They are released at the same time and the only force that affects movement is the electrostatic force that is applied on both subatomic particles. According to Newton's third law, the force Fpe exerted on protons by the electron is opposite in magnitude and direction to the force Fep exerted on the electron by the proton. That is, Fpe = - Fep. According to Newton's second law, this equation can be written as
                               Mp * ap = -Me * ae
where Mp and Me are the masses, and ap and ae are the accelerations of the proton and the electron, respectively. Since the mass of the electron is much smaller than the mass of the proton, in order for the equation above to hold, the acceleration of the electron at that moment must be considerably larger than the acceleration of the proton at that moment. Since electrons have much greater acceleration than protons, they achieve a faster rate than protons and therefore first reach the origin.

Reika [66]

Complete question:

The coordinate of a particle in meters is given by x(t)=1 6t- 3.0t³ , where the time tis in seconds. The

particle is momentarily at rest at t is:

Select one:

a. 9.3s

b. 1.3s

C. 0.75s

d.5.3s

e. 7.3s

​

Answer:

b. 1.3 s

Explanation:

Given;

position of the particle, x(t)=1 6t- 3.0t³

when the particle is at rest, the velocity is zero.

velocity = dx/dt

dx /dt = 16 - 9t²

16 - 9t² = 0

9t² = 16

t² = 16 /9

t = √(16 / 9)

t = 4/3

t = 1.3 s

Therefore, the particle is momentarily at rest at t = 1.3 s
