Let the sphere is having charge Q and radius R

Now if the proton is released from rest

By energy conservation we can say

U = K

\frac{kQe}{R} = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

\frac{2kQe}{mR} = v^2

now take square root of both sides

v =\sqrt{\frac{2kQe}{mR}}

so the proton will move by above speed and

here Q = charge on the sphere

R = radius of sphere

k = 9 * 10^9

The speed of proton is about 1 × 10⁷ m/s

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Electric charge consists of two types namely positive electric charge and negative electric charge.

There was a famous scientist who investigated on this matter. His name was Coulomb and succeeded in formulating a force of attraction or repulsion between two charges.

\large {\boxed {F = k \frac{Q_1 Q_2}{R^2} } }

<em>F = electric force(N)</em>

<em>k = electric constant (N m² / C²)</em>

<em>q = electric charge (C)</em>

<em>r = distance between charges (m)</em>

<em>The value of k in a vacuum = 9 x 10⁹ (N m² / C²)</em>

Let us now tackle the problem!

Let me repeat the question!

<em>A 3.0 cm -diameter isolated metal sphere carries a net charge of 0.90 μC. If a proton were released from rest at the sphere's surface, what would be its speed far from the sphere?</em>

<u>Given:</u>

diameter of sphere = d = 3 cm

charge of sphere = 0.90 μC

mass of proton = 1.67 × 10⁻²⁷ kg

charge of proton = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

<u>Unknown:</u>

speed of proton = v = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

We will use the law of conservation of energy to solve this problem.

The potential energy of proton on the surface of the sphere will be the same as the kinetic energy when it is far from the sphere.

Ek = Ep

\frac{1}{2} m_{proton}v^2 = k \frac{Q_{sphere} ~ q_{proton}}{R}

\frac{1}{2} (1.67 \times 10^{-27})v^2 = 9 \times 10^9 \times \frac{0.9 \times 10^{-6} \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}}{\frac{1}{2} \times 3 \times 10^{-2}}

\large {\boxed {v \approx 1 \times 10^7 ~ m/s} }

When you heat a certain substance with a difference of temperature \Delta T the heat (energy) you must give to it is
E(=Q) =mc\Delta T
where c is the specific heat of that substance (given in J/(g*Celsius))
In this case
E=645*0.3850*(28.22-13.20) =3729.8 (Joule)

Observation: the specific heat of a substance is given in J/(g*Celsius) or J/(g*Kelvin)  because on the temperature scale a difference of 1 degree Celsius = 1 degree Kelvin

a ballistic pendulum is used to measure the speed of high-speed projectiles. A 6 g bullet A is fired into a 1 kg wood block B su
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

(a) v-bullet = 399.04 m/s

(b) I = 2.38 kg m/s

(c) T = 2.59 N

Explanation:

(a) To calculate the initial speed of the bullet, you first take into account that the kinetic energy of both wood block and bullet, just after the bullet impacts the block, is equal to the potential gravitational energy of block and bullet when the cord is at 60° respect to the vertical.

The potential energy is given by:

U=(M+m)gh       (1)

U: potential energy

M: mass of the wood block = 1 kg

m: mass of the bullet = 6g = 6.0*10^-3 kg

g: gravitational constant = 9.8m/s^2

h: distance to the ground

The distance to the ground is calculate d by using the information about the length of the cord and the degrees of the cord respect to the vertical:

h=l-lsin\theta\\\\h=2.2m-2,2m\ sin60\°=0.29m

The potential energy is:

U=(1kg+6*10^{-3}kg)(9.8m/s^2)(0.29m)=2.85J

Next, the potential energy is equal to kinetic energy of the block and the bullet at the beginning of its motion:

U=\frac{1}{2}(M+m)v^2\\\\v=\sqrt{2\frac{U}{M+m}}=\sqrt{2\frac{2.85J}{1kg+6*10^{-3}kg}}=2.38\frac{m}{s}

Next, you use the momentum conservation law, in order to calculate the speed of the bullet before the impact:

Mv_1+mv_2=(M+m)v    (2)

v1: initial velocity of the wood block = 0m/s

v2: initial speed of the bullet

v: speed of bullet and block = 2.38m/s

You solve the equation (2) for v2:

M(0)+mv_2=(M+m)v    

v_2=\frac{M+m}{m}v=\frac{1kg+6*10^{-3}kg}{6*10^{-3}kg}(2.38m/s)\\\\v_2=399.04\frac{m}{s}

The speed of the bullet before the impact with the wood block is 399.04 m/s

(b) The impulse is gibe by the change in the velocity of the block, multiplied by the mass of the block:

I=M\Delta v=M(v-v_1)=(1kg)(2.38m/s-0m/s)=2.38kg\frac{m}{s}

The impulse is 2.38 kgm/s

(c) The force on the cord after the impact is equal to the centripetal force over the block and bullet. That is:

T=F_c=(M+m)\frac{v^2}{l}=(1.006kg)\frac{(2.38m/s)^2}{2.2m}=2.59N    

The force on the cord after the impact is 2.59N
