Using Newton's second law of motion:

F=ma ; [ F = force (N: kgm/s^2);m= mass (kg); a = acceleration (m/s^2)

Given: Find: Formula: Solve for m:

F: 2500N mass:? F=ma Eq.1 m=F/a Eq. 2

a= 200m/s^2

Solution:

Using Eq.2

m= (2500 kgm/s^2)/ (200m/s^2) = 12.5 kg

A +26.3 uC charge qy is repelled by a force

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

+1.46×10¯⁶ C

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Charge 1 (q₁) = +26.3 μC = +26.3×10¯⁶ C

Force (F) = 0.615 N

Distance apart (r) = 0.750 m

Electrical constant (K) = 9×10⁹ Nm²/C²

Charge 2 (q₂) =?

The value of the second charge can be obtained as follow:

F = Kq₁q₂ / r²

0.615 = 9×10⁹ × 26.3×10¯⁶ × q₂ / 0.750²

0.615 = 236700 × q₂ / 0.5625

Cross multiply

236700 × q₂ = 0.615 × 0.5625

Divide both side by 236700

q₂ = (0.615 × 0.5625) / 236700

q₂ = +1.46×10¯⁶ C

NOTE: The force between them is repulsive as stated from the question. This means that both charge has the same sign. Since the first charge has a positive sign, the second charge also has a positive sign. Thus, the value of the second charge is +1.46×10¯⁶ C

To initiate a nuclear reaction, an experimental nuclear physicist wants to shoot a proton into a 5.50-fm-diameter 12C nucleus. T

Fantom [35]

Answer:

$V_1= 3.4*10^7m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Nucleus diameter $d=5.50-fm$

a 12C nucleus

Required kinetic energy $K=2.30 MeV$

Generally initial speed of proton must be determined,applying the law of conservation of energy we have

$K_2 +U_2=K_1+U_1$

where

$K_1$ =initial kinetic energy

$K_2$ =final kinetic energy

$U_1$ =initial electric potential

$U_2$ =final electric potential

mathematically

$U_2 = \frac{Kq_pq_c}{r_2}$

where

$r_f$ =distance b/w charges

$q_c$ =nucleus charge $=6(1.6*10^-^1^9C)$

$K$ =constant

$q_p$ =proton charge

Generally kinetic energy is know as

$K=\frac{1}{2} mv^2$

Therefore

$U_2 = \frac{Kq_pq_c}{r_2} + K_2=\frac{1}{2} mv_1^2 +U_1$

Generally equation for radius is $d/2$

Mathematically solving for radius of nucleus

$R=(\frac{5.50}{2}) (\frac{1*10^-^1^5m}{1fm})$

$R=2.75*10^-^1^5m$

Generally we can easily solving mathematically substitute into v_1

$q_p$ $=6(1.6*10^-^1^9C)$

$K_1=9.0*10^9 N-m^2/C^2$

$U_1= 0$

$R=2.75*10^-^1^5m$

$K=2.30 MeV$

$m= 1.67*10^-^2^7kg$

$V_1= (\frac{2}{1.67*10^-^2^7kg})^1^/^2 (\frac{(9.0*10^9 N-m^2/C^2)*(6(1.6*10^-^1^9C)(1.6*10^-^1^9C)}{2.75*10^-^1^5m+2.30 MeV(\frac{1.6*10^-^1^3 J}{1 MeV}) }$
