Answer:

The unknown quantities are:

E and F

The final velocity of the proton is:

√(8/3) k e^2/(m*r)

Explanation:

Hello!

We can solve this problem using conservation of energy and momentum.

Since both particles are at rest at the beginning, the initial energy and momentum are:

Ei = k (q1q2)/r

pi = 0

where k is the coulomb constant (= 8.987×10⁹ N·m²/C²)

and q1 = e and q2 = 2e

When the distance between the particles doubles, the energy and momentum are:

Ef = k (q1q2)/2r + (1/2)m1v1^2 + (1/2)m2v2^2

pf = m1v1 + m2v2

with m1 = m,   m2 = 4m,    v1=vf_p,    v2 = vf_alpha

The conservation momentum states that:

pi = pf      

Therefore:

m1v1 + m2v2 = 0

That is:

v2 = (1/4) v1

The conservation of energy states that:

Ei = Ef

Therefore:

k (q1q2)/r = k (q1q2)/2r + (1/2)m1v1^2 + (1/2)m2v2^2

Replacing

      m1 =  m, m2 = 4m, q1 = e, q2 = 2e

      and   v2 = (1/4)v1

We get:

(1/2)mv1^2 = k e^2/r + (1/2)4m(v1/4)^2 =  k e^2/r + (1/8)mv1^2

(3/8) mv1^2 = k e^2/r

v1^2 = (8/3) k e^2/(m*r)

A plant is thrown straight
olchik [2.2K]

The time taken for the plant to hit the ground from a distance of 7.01m and at a velocity of 8.84m/s is 1.59s.

<h3>How to calculate time?</h3>

The time taken for a motion to occur can be calculated using the following formula:

v² = u² - 2as

Where;

  • v = final velocity
  • u = initial velocity
  • s = distance
  • a = acceleration

8.84² = 0² + 2 × a × 7.01

78.15 = 14.02a

a = 5.57m/s²

V = u + at

8.84 = 0 + 5.57t

t = 1.59s

Therefore, the time taken for the plant to hit the ground from a distance of 7.01m and at a velocity of 8.84m/s is 1.59s.
