Consider two protons that are separated by 5.9 fm. What is the magnitude of the Coulomb repulsive force between them?

2 answers:

6 0

Assuming that these protons are on opossite sides of a nucleus, the strong force between them is zero. The magnitude of the repulsive force between them is given by:

$F=k\frac{e^2}{d^2}$

Where k is the coulomb constant, e is the proton charge and d its distance of separation. Replacing the given values and solving:

$F=8.99*10^{9}\frac{N\cdot m^2}{C^2}\frac{(1.6*10^{-19}C)^2}{(5.9*10^{-15}m)^2}\\F=6.61N$

Answer:

F = 6.604N

Explanation:

To find the electric force between the protons you use the Coulomb's formula:

$F=k\frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}=k\frac{q^2}{r^2}$

where you have used that both charges have the same charge.

K: Coulomb's constant = 8.98*10^9 Nm^2/C^2

r: distance between the charges = 5.9fm = 5.9*10^{-15}m

q: 1.6*10^{-19}C

By replacing the values of k, q and r you obtain:

$F=(8.98*10^9Nm^2/A^2)\frac{(1.6*10^{-19}C)^2}{(5.9*10^{-15}m)^2}=6.604N$

If you compare this force with the nuclear one Fn = 2000N you obtain:

$\frac{F_n}{F}=\frac{2000N}{6.604N}=302.8$

hence, the nuclear force is about 302.8 times stronger than the Coulomb's force

Most of the funding for research comes from the federal government or ? And is provided to Principal Investigators (PIs) through

densk [106]

Answer: is a term generally covering any funding for scientific research, in the areas of both "hard" science and technology and social science. The term often connotes funding obtained through a competitive process, in which potential research projects are evaluated and only the most promising receive funding. Such processes, which are run by government, corporations or foundations, allocate scarce funds.

A pencil rolls horizontally of a 1 meter high desk and lands .25 meters from the base of the desk. How fast was the pencil rolli

vovikov84 [41]

Answer: 0.55 m/s

Explanation:

This situation is related to projectile motion (also called parabolic motion), where the main equations are as follows:

$x=V_{o} cos\theta t$ (1)

$y=y_{o}+Vo sin \theta t + \frac{g}{2}t^{2}$ (2)

Where:

$x=0.25 m$ is the horizontal displacement of the pencil

$V_{o}$ is the pencil's initial velocity

$\theta=0\°$ since we are told the pencil rolls <u>horizontally</u> before falling

$t$ is the time since the pencil falls until it hits the ground

$y_{o}=1 m$ is the initial height of the pencil

$y=0$ is the final height of the pencil (when it finally hits the ground)

$g=-9.8m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity, always acting vertically downwards

Begining with (1):

$x=V_{o} cos(0\°) t$ (3)

$x=V_{o}t$ (4)

Finding $t$ from (2):

$0=1 m+ \frac{-9.8m/s^{2}}{2}t^{2}$ (5)

$t=\sqrt{\frac{-2y_{o}}{g}}$ (6)

Substituting (6) in (4):

$x=V_{o}\sqrt{\frac{-2y_{o}}{g}}$ (7)

Isolating $V_{o}$ :

$V_{o}=\frac{x}{\sqrt{\frac{-2y_{o}}{g}}}$ (8)

$V_{o}=\frac{0.25 m}{\sqrt{\frac{-2(1 m)}{-9.8m/s^{2}}}}$ (9)

Finally:

$V_{o}=0.55 m/s$

after a cannonball is fired into frictionless space, the amount of force needed to keep it going equals

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

0 N

Explanation:

According to Newton's first law of motion, an object in motion stays in motion until acted upon by an unbalanced force. With no friction in space to unbalance the cannonball, it will continue to keep going.
