Two protons in an atomic nucleus are typically separated by a distance of 2 ✕ 10-15 m. The electric repulsion force between the

protons is huge, but the attractive nuclear force is even stronger and keeps the nucleus from bursting apart. What is the magnitude of the electric force between two protons separated by 2.00 ✕ 10-15 m

The magnitude of the electric force between two protons separated by 2.00 × 10⁻¹⁵ m is about 57.6 Newton

$\texttt{ }$

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Electric charge consists of two types i.e. positively electric charge and negatively electric charge.

$\texttt{ }$

There was a famous scientist who investigated about this charges. His name is Coulomb and succeeded in formulating the force of attraction or repulsion between two charges i.e. :

$\large {\boxed {F = k \frac{Q_1Q_2}{R^2} } }$

<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's tackle the problem now !

$\texttt{ }$

<u>Given:</u>

distance between protons = d = 2 × 10⁻¹⁵ m

charge of proton = q = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

<u>Unknown:</u>

electric force = F = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

$F = k \frac{q_1 q_2}{(d)^2}$

$F = k \frac{q^2}{(d)^2}$

$F = 9 \times 10^9 \times \frac{(1.6 \times 10^{-19})^2}{(2 \times 10^{-15})^2}$

$F = 57.6 \texttt{ Newton}$

Answer:

The magnitude of the electric force between the to protons will be 57.536 N.

Explanation:

We can use Coulomb's law to find out the force, in scalar form, will be:

$F \ = \ \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 } \frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}$ .

Now, making the substitutions

$d \ = \ 2.00 * 10 ^{-15} \ m$ ,

$q_1 = q_2 = 1.60 * 10 ^ {-19} \ C$ ,

$\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}=8.99 * 10^9 \frac{Nm^2}{C^2}$ ,

we can find:

$F \ = \ 8.99 * 10^9 \frac{Nm^2}{C^2} \frac{(1.60 * 10 ^ {-19} \ C)^2}{(2.00 * 10 ^{-15} \ m)^2}$ .

$F \ = 57.536 N$ .

Not so big for everyday life, but enormous for subatomic particles.

Along some shorelines, incoming waves cause the water to simply rise and fall rather that form a surf zone. What does this tell

NARA [144]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Along some shorelines, incoming waves cause the water to simply rise and fall and not form surfs because of the steepness of the shorelines. Long period waves wont form surfs at steep shores because of the breaking and unstability of waves. Wave breaks at the shallow waters. The breaking of the waves depends upon H/L ratio.

A skydiver jumps out of a hovering helicopter. A few seconds later, another diver jumps out, so they both fall along the same ve

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

distance difference would a) increase

speed difference would f) stay the same

Explanation:

Let t be the time the 2nd skydiver takes to travel, since the first skydiver jumped first, his time would be t + Δt where Δt represent the duration between the the first skydiver and the 2nd one. Remember that as t progress (increases), Δt remain constant.

Their equations of motion for distance and velocities are

$s_2 = gt^2/2$

$s_1 = g(t + \Delta t)^2/2$

$v_2 = gt$

$v_1 = g(t + \Delta t)$

Their difference in distance are therefore:

$\Delta s = s_1 - s_2 = g(t + \Delta t)^2/2 - gt^2/2$

$\Delta s = g/2((t + \Delta t)^2 - t^2)$

$\Delta s = g/2(t + \Delta t - t)(t + \Delta t + t)$ (As $A^2 - B^2 = (A-B)(A+B)$

$\Delta s = g\Delta t/2(2t + \Delta t)$

So as time progress t increases, Δs would also increases, their distance becomes wider with time.

Similarly for their velocity difference

$\Delta v = v_1 - v_2 = g(t + \Delta t) - gt$

$\Delta v = gt + g\Delta t - gt = g\Delta t$

Since g and Δt both are constant, Δv would also remain constant, their difference in velocity remain the same.

This of this in this way: only the DIFFERENCE in speed stay the same, their own individual speed increases at same rate (due to same acceleration g). But the first skydiver is already at a faster speed (because he jumped first) when the 2nd one jumps. The 1st one would travel more distance compare to the 2nd one in a unit of time.

A sinusoidal voltage is given by the expression ????(????)=20cos(5π×103 ????+60°) V. Determine its (a) frequency in hertz, (b) p

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

<em>There are some placeholders in the expression, but they can be safely assumed</em>

Answer:

(a) $f=1617.9\ Hz$

(b) $T=0.618\ ms$

(c) $A=20 \ Volts$

(d) $\varphi=60^o$

Explanation:

<u>Sinusoidal Waves </u>

An oscillating wave can be expressed as a sinusoidal function as follows

$V(t)&=A\cdot \sin(2\pi ft+\varphi )$

Where

$A=Amplitude$

$f=frequency$

$\varphi=Phase\ angle$

The voltage of the question is the sinusoid expression

$V(t)=20cos(5\pi\times 103t+60^o)$

(a) By comparing with the general formula we have

$f=5\pi\times 103=1617.9\ Hz$

$\boxed{f=1617.9\ Hz}$

(b) The period is the reciprocal of the frequency:

$\displaystyle T=\frac{1}{f}$

$\displaystyle T=\frac{1}{1617.9\ Hz}=0.000618\ sec$

Converting to milliseconds

$\boxed{T=0.618\ ms}$

(c) The amplitude is

$\boxed{A=20 \ Volts}$

(d) Phase angle:

$\boxed{\varphi=60^o}$

One mole of magnesium (6 × 1023 atoms) has a mass of 24 grams, as shown in the periodic table on the inside front cover of the t

natka813 [3]

This question involves the concepts of density, volume, and mass.

The approximate diameter of a magnesium atom is "3.55 x 10⁻¹⁰ m".

<h3>STEP 1 (FINDING MASS OF INDIVIDUAL ATOM)</h3>

It is given that:

Mass of one mole = 24 grams

Mass of 6 x 10²³ atoms = 24 grams

Mass of 1 atom = $\frac{24\ grams}{6\ x\ 10^{23}\ atoms}$ = 4 x 10⁻²³ grams

<h3>STEP 2 (FINDING VOLUME OF A SINGLE ATOM)</h3>

$\rho = \frac{m}{V}\\\\V=\frac{m}{\rho}$

where,

$\rho$ = density = 1.7 grams/cm³
m = mass of single atom = 4 x 10⁻²³ grams
V = volume of single atom = ?

Therefore,

$V=\frac{4\ x\ 10^{-23}\ grams}{1.7\ grams/cm^3}$

V = 2.35 x 10⁻²³ cm³

<h3>STEP 3 (FINDING DIAMETER OF ATOM)</h3>

The atom is in a spherical shape. Hence, its Volume can be given as follows:

$V =\frac{\pi d^3}{6}\\\\d=\sqrt[3]{ \frac{6V}{\pi}}\\\\d=\sqrt[3]{ \frac{6(2.35\ x\ 10^{-23}\ cm^3)}{\pi}}$

d = 0.355 x 10⁻⁷ cm = 3.55 x 10⁻¹⁰ m
