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}) }

    V_1= 3.4*10^7m/s

Therefore the proton must be fired out with a speed of V_1= 3.4*10^7m/s

Q1 is located at the origin, Q2 is located at x = 2.50 cm and Q3 is located at x = 3.50 cm. Q1 has a charge of +4.92μC and Q3 ha
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

+1.11\mu C

Explanation:

A charge located at a point will experience a zero electrostatic force if the resultant electric field on it due to any other charge(s) is zero.

Q_1 is located at the origin. The net force on it will only be zero if the resultant electric field intensity due to Q_2 and Q_3 at the origin is equal to zero. Therefore we can perform this solution without necessarily needing the value of Q_1.

Let the electric field intensity due to Q_2 be +E_2 and that due to Q_3 be -E_3 since the charge is negative. Hence at the origin;

+E_2-E_3=0..................(1)

From equation (1) above, we obtain the following;

E_2=E_3.................(2)

From Coulomb's law the following relationship holds;

+E_2=\frac{kQ_2}{r_2^2}\\  

-E_3=\frac{kQ_3}{r_3^2}

where r_2 is the distance of Q_2 from the origin, r_3 is the distance of Q_3 from the origin and k is the electrostatic constant.

It therefore means that from equation (2) we can write the following;

\frac{kQ_2}{r_2^2}=\frac{kQ_3}{r_3^2}.................(3)

k can cancel out from both side of equation (3), so that we finally obtain the following;

\frac{Q_2}{r_2^2}=\frac{Q_3}{r_3^2}................(4)

Given;

Q_2=?\\r_2=2.5cm=0.025m\\Q_3=-2.18\mu C=-2.18* 10^{-6}C\\r_3=3.5cm=0.035m

Substituting these values into equation (4); we obtain the following;

\frac{Q_2}{0.025^2}=\frac{2.18*10^{-6}}{0.035^2}\\\\hence;\\\\Q_2=\frac{0.025^2*2.18*10^{-6}}{0.035^2}\\

Q_2=\frac{0.00136*10^{-6}}{0.00123}=1.11*10^{-6}C\\\\Q_3=+1.11\mu C

What amount of heat is required to raise the temperature of 200 g of water by 15°C (the specific heat of water is 1 cal/g°C)
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

Heat energy required (Q) = 3,000 J

Explanation:

Find:

Mass of water (M) = 200 g

Change in temperature (ΔT) = 15°C

Specific heat of water (C) = 1 cal/g°C

Find:

Heat energy required (Q) = ?

Computation:

Q = M × ΔT × C

Heat energy required (Q) = Mass of water (M) × Change in temperature (ΔT) × Specific heat of water (C)

Heat energy required (Q) = 200 g × 15°C × 1 cal/g°C

Heat energy required (Q) = 3,000 J
