Answer:
the kinetic energy lost due to friction is 22.5 J
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the block, m = 0.2 kg
initial velocity of the block, u = 25 m/s
final velocity of the block, v = 20 m/s
The kinetic energy lost due to friction is calculated as;
Therefore, the kinetic energy lost due to friction is 22.5 J
Answer:
Explanation:
For this exercise we must use the principle of conservation of energy
starting point. The proton very far from the nucleus
Em₀ = K = ½ m v²
final point. The point where the proton is stopped (v = 0)
Em_f = U = q V
where the potential is
V = k Ze / r²
Let us consider that all the charge of the nucleus is in the center, therefore r is the distance from this point to the proton that is approaching
Energy is conserved
Em₀ = Em_f
½ m v² = e ()
with this expression we can find the closest approach distance (r)
