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

Answer:

minimum angle is 128.69°

Explanation:

given data

player velocity with respect ground v1 = 3.5 m/s

ball velocity with respect himself v2 = 5.6 m/s

to find out

smallest angle

solution

we know ball velocity with respect field will be

ball velocity = v1  +v2

ball velocity = 3.5 + 5.6 = 9.1m/s

we consider angle that player hit ball is θ

then by as per figure triangle

cosθ = \frac{v1}{v2}

cosθ = \frac{3.5}{5.6}

θ = 51.31

so minimum angle is 180 - 51.31 = 128.69°

What are two things that are infinite?
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

Infinity = Never ending

Explanation:

The universe could be infinite, both in terms of space and time, but there is currently no way to test whether it goes on forever or is just very big. The part of the universe we are able to observe is finite, measuring about 46 billion light years in diameter.

The set of natural numbers is an infinite set. This kind of infinity is, by definition, called countable infinity. All sets that can be put into a bijective relation to the natural numbers are said to have this kind of infinity. This is also expressed by saying that the cardinal number of the set is aleph-naught (ℵ0).

Hope this helps. Mark as brainliest!
