In a nuclear physics experiment, a proton (mass 1.67×10^(−27)kg, charge +e=+1.60×10^(−19)C) is fired directly at a target nucleu

s of unknown charge. (You can treat both objects as point charges, and assume that the nucleus remains at rest.) When it is far from its target, the proton has speed 2.50×10^6 m/s. The proton comes momentarily to rest at a distance 5.31×10^(−13)m from the center of the target nucleus, then flies back in the direction from which it came. What is the number of the protons the nucleus has? Assume no electron cloud is there, ε0=8.85x10^(-12) C^2/(Nm^2)

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

In a nuclear physics experiment, a proton (mass 1.67 \times 10^(-27)kg, charge +e = +1.60 \times 10^(-19) C) is fired directly at a target nucleus of unknown charge. (You can treat both objects as point charges, and assume that the nucleus remains at rest.) When it is far from its target, the proton has speed 2.50 \times 10^6 m/s. The proton comes momentarily to rest at a distance 5.31 \times 10^(-13) m from the center of the target nucleus, then flies back in the direction from which it came. What is the electric potential energy of the proton and nucleus when they are 5.31 \times 10^{-13} m apart?

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

Mass of proton = 1.67 \times 10^{-27} kg

Charge of proton = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C

Speed of proton = 2.50 \times 10^{6} m/s

Distance traveled = 5.31 \times 10^{-13} m

We will calculate the electric potential energy of the proton and the nucleus by conservation of energy as follows.

  (K.E + P.E)_{initial} = (K.E + P.E)_{final}

 (\frac{1}{2} m_{p}v^{2}_{p}) = (\frac{kq_{p}q_{t}}{r} + 0)

where,    \frac{kq_{p}q_{t}}{r} = U = Electric potential energy

     U = (\frac{1}{2}m_{p}v^{2}_{p})

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

        U = (\frac{1}{2}m_{p}v^{2}_{p})

            = (\frac{1}{2} \times 1.67 \times 10^{-27} \times (2.5 \times 10^{6})^{2})

            = 5.218 \times 10^{-15} J

Therefore, we can conclude that the electric potential energy of the proton and nucleus is 5.218 \times 10^{-15} J.

what principle is responsible for alternating light and dark bands when light passes through two or more narrow slits?
olya-2409 [2.1K]

The superposition principle is responsible for alternating light and dark bands when light passes through two or more narrow slits.

The intensity pattern that appears on the lit screen is determined by the superposition principle. When the difference in pathways from the two slits to a location on the screen equals an integral number of wavelengths (0,λ,2λ ,...), constructive interference takes place.

The fact that the two waves' crests follow different paths ensures that they do. A distinctive pattern of brilliant and dark fringes is seen when monochromatic light illuminates a distant screen after passing through two small openings. The superposition of overlapping light waves coming from the two slits results in this interference pattern.

You are driving at the speed of 27.7 m/s (61.9764 mph) when suddenly the car in front of you (previously traveling at the same s
marta [7]

1) Acceleration of the car in front: -7.89 m/s^2

The only data we need for this part of the problem is:

u = 27.7 m/s --> initial velocity of the car

\mu=0.804 --> coefficient of friction between the car wheels and the road

From the coefficient of friction, we can find the deceleration of the car. In fact, the force of friction is given by

F=-\mu mg

where m is the car's mass and g=9.81 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity. We can find the car's acceleration by using Newton's second law:

a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{-\mu mg}{m}=\mu g=(0.804)(9.81 m/s^2)=-7.89 m/s^2

And the negative sign means it is a deceleration.


2) Braking distance for the car in front: 48.6 m

This can be found by using the following SUVAT equation:

v^2 - u^2 = 2aS

where

v=0 is the final velocity of the car

u=27.7 m/s is the initial velocity of the car

a=-7.89 m/s^2 is the acceleration of the car

S is the braking distance

By re-arranging the formula, we find S:

S=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}=\frac{0-(27.7 m/s)^2}{2(-7.89 m/s^2)}=48.6 m


3) Minimum safe distance at which you can follow the car: 15.0 m

In this case, we must calculate the thinking distance, which is the distance you travel before hitting the brakes. During this time, the speed of your car is constant, so the thinking distance is given by

d_t = ut=(27.7 m/s)(0.543 s)=15.0 m

After hitting the brakes, your car decelerates at the same rate of the car in front of you, so the braking distance is the same of the other car:

d_b=48.6 m

So the total distance your car covers is

S'=d_t+d_b=15.0 m +48.6 m=63.6 m

At the same time, the car in front of you just covered a distance of 48.6 m. So, in order to avoid the collision, you should travel at a distance equal to

d=S'-S=63.6 m-48.6 m=15.0 m
