To initiate a nuclear reaction, an experimental nuclear physicist wants to shoot a proton into a 5.50-fm-diameter 12C nucleus. T

he proton must impact the nucleus with a kinetic energy of 1.80 MeV. Assume the nucleus remains at rest.
Required:
a. With what speed must the proton be fired toward the target?
b. Through what potential difference must the proton be accelerated from rest to acquire this speed?

Answer:

Explanation:

kinetic energy required = 1.80 MeV

= 1.8 x 10⁶ x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

= 2.88 x 10⁻¹³ J

If v be the velocity of proton

1/2 x mass of proton x v² = 2.88 x 10⁻¹³

= .5 x 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ x v² = 2.88 x 10⁻¹³

v² = 3.45 x 10¹⁴

v = 1.86 x 10⁷ m /s

If V be the potential difference required

V x e = kinetic energy . where e is charge on proton .

V x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ = 2.88 x 10⁻¹³

V = 1.8 x 10⁶ volt .

Calculate the location xcm of the center of mass of the Earth-Moon system. Use a coordinate system in which the center of the Ea
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

The center of mass of the Earth-Moon system is 4.673 kilometers away from center of Earth.

Explanation:

Let suppose that planet and satellite can be treated as particles. The masses of Earth and Moon (m_{E}, m_{M}) are 5.972\times 10^{24}\,kg and 7.349\times 10^{22}\,kg, respectively. The distance between centers is 384,403 kilometers. The location of the center of mass can be found by using weighted averages:

\bar x = \frac{x_{E}\cdot m_{E}+x_{M}\cdot m_{M}}{m_{E}+m_{M}}

If x_{E} = 0\,km and x_{M} = 384,403\,km, then:

\bar x = \frac{(0\,km)\cdot (5.972\times 10^{24}\,kg)+(384,403\,km)\cdot (7.349\times 10^{22}\,kg)}{5.972\times 10^{24}\,kg+7.349\times 10^{22}\,kg}

\bar x = 4.673\,km

The center of mass of the Earth-Moon system is 4.673 kilometers away from center of Earth.

the gravitational force between two objects is 1600 and what will be the gravitational force between the objects if the distance
Xelga [282]

I believe this is what you have to do:

The force between a mass M and a point mass m is represented by

F = G\frac{Mm}{r^{2} }

So lets compare it to the original force before it doubles, it would just be the exact formula so lets call that F₁

So F₁ = G(Mm/r^2)

Now the distance has doubled so lets account for this in F₂:

F₂ = G(Mm/(2r)^2)

Now square the 2 that gives you four and we can pull that out in front to give

F₂ = \frac{1}{4} G(Mm/r^2)

Now we can replace G(Mm/r^2) with F₁ as that is the value of the force before alterations

now we see that:

F₂ = \frac{1}{4} F₁

So the second force will be 0.25 (1/4) x 1600 or 400 N.

A block of ice with mass 2.00 kg slides 0.750 m down an inclined plane that slopes downward at an angle of 36.9 degrees below th
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer: V_{f}=2.96m/s    

Firstly we have to draw the Free Body Diagram (FBD) as shown in the figure attached.

Where the weight w of the block has an x-component and y-component:

w_{x}=wsin(\theta)    (1)

w_{y}=wcos(\theta)    (2)

As well as the Normal Force N:

N_{x}=Nsin(\theta)    (3)

N_{y}=Ncos(\theta)    (4)

In addition, we know N=w, then \sum F_{y}=0

In the X-component:

\sum F_{x}=m.a

m.a=w_{x}    (5)

Substituting (1) in (5):

wsin(\theta)=m.a    (6)

In addition, we know w=m.g, where m is the mass of the block and g the gravity acceleration, which is equal to 9.8m/{s}^{2}  

So:

m.g.sin(\theta)=m.a   (7)

a=g.sin(\theta)    (8)

a=5.88m/{s}^{2}    (9)   >>>>This is the acceleration of the block

On the other hand, we have the following equation that expresses a <u>relation between</u> the distance d with the acceleration a and time t:

d=\frac{1}{2}a{t}^{2}   (10)

We already know the value of  d and calculated a, we have to find t:

t=\sqrt{\frac{2d}{a}}   (11)

t=\sqrt{\frac{2(0.75m)}{5.88m/{s}^{2}}}   (12)

t=0.50s   (13) >>>This is the time it takes to the block to go from the initial velocity V_{o} to its final velocity V_{f}

If the acceleration is the variation of the velocity in time, we can use the following equation to find V_{f}:

V_{f}-V_{o}=a.t   (13)

If V_{o}=0

V_{f}=a.t   (14)

V_{f}=(5.88m/{s}^{2})(0.50s)   (15)

Finally we get the value of the Final Velocity of the block:

V_{f}=2.96m/s
