A proton is projected toward a fixed nucleus of charge Ze with velocity vo. Initially the two particles are very far apart. When
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

The value is R_f =  \frac{4}{5}  R

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  initial velocity of the  proton is v_o

    At a distance R from the nucleus the velocity is  v_1 =  \frac{1}{2}  v_o

    The  velocity considered is  v_2 =  \frac{1}{4}  v_o

Generally considering from initial position to a position of  distance R  from the nucleus

 Generally from the law of energy conservation we have that  

       \Delta  K  =  \Delta P

Here \Delta K is the change in kinetic energy from initial position to a  position of  distance R  from the nucleus , this is mathematically represented as

      \Delta K  =  K__{R}} -  K_i

=>    \Delta K  =  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  v_1^2  -  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  v_o^2

=>    \Delta K  =  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  * (\frac{1}{2} * v_o )^2  -  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  v_o^2

=>    \Delta K  =  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  * \frac{1}{4} * v_o ^2  -  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  v_o^2

And  \Delta  P is the change in electric potential energy  from initial position to a  position of  distance R  from the nucleus , this is mathematically represented as

          \Delta P =  P_f - P_i

Here  P_i is zero because the electric potential energy at the initial stage is  zero  so

             \Delta P =  k  *  \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R}  - 0

So

           \frac{1}{2}  *  m  * \frac{1}{4} * v_o ^2  -  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  v_o^2 =   k  *  \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R}  - 0

=>        \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *v_0^2 [ \frac{1}{4} -1 ]  =   k  *  \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R}

=>        - \frac{3}{8}  *  m  *v_0^2  =   k  *  \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R} ---(1 )

Generally considering from initial position to a position of  distance R_f  from the nucleus

Here R_f represented the distance of the proton from the nucleus where the velocity is  \frac{1}{4} v_o

     Generally from the law of energy conservation we have that  

       \Delta  K_f  =  \Delta P_f

Here \Delta K is the change in kinetic energy from initial position to a  position of  distance R  from the nucleus  , this is mathematically represented as

      \Delta K_f   =  K_f -  K_i

=>    \Delta K_f  =  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  v_2^2  -  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  v_o^2

=>    \Delta K_f  =  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  * (\frac{1}{4} * v_o )^2  -  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  v_o^2

=>    \Delta K_f  =  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  * \frac{1}{16} * v_o ^2  -  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  v_o^2

And  \Delta  P is the change in electric potential energy  from initial position to a  position of  distance R_f  from the nucleus , this is mathematically represented as

          \Delta P_f  =  P_f - P_i

Here  P_i is zero because the electric potential energy at the initial stage is  zero  so

             \Delta P_f  =  k  *  \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R_f }  - 0      

So

          \frac{1}{2}  *  m  * \frac{1}{8} * v_o ^2  -  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  v_o^2 =   k  *  \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R_f }

=>        \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *v_o^2 [-\frac{15}{16} ]  =   k  *  \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R_f }

=>        - \frac{15}{32}  *  m  *v_o^2 =   k  *  \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R_f } ---(2)

Divide equation 2  by equation 1

              \frac{- \frac{15}{32}  *  m  *v_o^2 }{- \frac{3}{8}  *  m  *v_0^2  } }   =  \frac{k  *  \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R_f } }{k  *  \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R } }}

=>           -\frac{15}{32 } *  -\frac{8}{3}   =  \frac{R}{R_f}

=>           \frac{5}{4}  =  \frac{R}{R_f}

=>             R_f =  \frac{4}{5}  R

What is the average speed of an object that travels 400 meters in 80 seconds?
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

<h2>5 m/s</h2>

Explanation:

The average speed of the object can be found by using the formula

v =  \frac{d}{t}  \\

d is the distance

t is the time taken

From the question we have

v =  \frac{400}{80}  =  \frac{40}{8}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>5 m/s</h3>

Hope this helps you
