Consider an electron and a proton that are initially at rest and are separated by 2.00 nm. Neglecting any motion of the much mor

e massive proton, what is the minimum (a) kinetic energy and (b) speed that the electron must be projected at so it reaches a point a distance of 12.0 nm from the proton? Assume the electron’s velocity is directed radially away from the proton. (c) How far will the electron travel away from the proton if it has twice that initial kinetic energy?

Answer:

a)W = 57.6\times10^{-19} J

b) v =   3.556\times10^6 m/s

c) displacment = 400nm

Explanation:

Given that

charge of the electron and proton q =1.6\times10^{-19} C

the distance between electron and proton = 2.0 nm

The force between the proton and electron

F = kq^/r^2

Here k = 9\times10^9 N.m^2/C^2

F = (9\times10^9)(1.6\times10^-19)(1.6\times10^-19)/(2.0\times10^-9)^2   \\= 5.76\times10^-11N

The work done in displacing the electron from 2.0 nm to 12 nm

is the minimum kinetic energy

W = F .s

W = (5.76\times10^{-11}N)(10\times10^{-9} m)\\W = 57.6\times10^{-19} J

(b)

If this energy is the kinetic energy of the electron

(1/2) m v^2 \\= 57.6\times10^{-19} J

Here m is the mass of the electron =9.0\times10^{-31} kg

The speed of the electron v =   3.556\times10^6 m/s

(c)

If the kinetic energy is twice the initial kinetic energy

2*(initial kinetic energy) = F*displacement

displacement = 2*(initial kinetic energy)/F

Displacement = 2(57.6\times10^{-19} J)/(5.76\time10^{-11}N)

displacement = 400 nm

The actual depth of a shallow pool 1.00 m deep is not the same as the apparent depth seen when you look straight down at the poo
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

d' = 75.1 cm

Explanation:

It is given that,

The actual depth of a shallow pool is, d = 1 m

We need to find the apparent depth of the water in the pool. Let it is equal to d'.

We know that the refractive index is also defined as the ratio of real depth to the apparent depth. Let the refractive index of water is 1.33. So,

n=\dfrac{d}{d'}\\\\d'=\dfrac{d}{n}\\\\d'=\dfrac{1\ m}{1.33}\\\\d'=0.751\ m

or

d' = 75.1 cm

So, the apparent depth is 75.1 cm.

An uniform electric field of magnitude E = 100 N/C is oriented along the positive y-axis. What is the magnitude of the flux of t
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

The magnitude of the flux of electric field through a square of surface area is zero.

Explanation:

E=100 NC^{-1}\\\\A=2 m^2\\\\Electic\,\,flux\,\,flux\,\,is\,\,given\,\,as:\\\\\phi_E=E.A\,cos\,\theta

It is given that square box is parallel to yz-plane which has normal vector perpendicular to plane in x-direction. Angle between normal vector of area and electric field is 90°. Substituting in (1)

\phi_E=E.A\,cos\,(90^o)\\\\\phi_E=0
