Maybe around 350 years, depending on the carbon cycle and the time taken through steps.
It must gain an electron because if the proton number was to change it would no longer be the same element.
Answer:
A. Kinetic energy is converted to electric potential energy, and the proton moves more slowly.
Explanation:
When a moving proton is brought close to a stationary one, the kinetic energy of the moving one is converted to electric potential and the proton moves more slowly.
Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of a body. A moving proton will possess this form of energy.
Two protons according to coulombs law will repel each other with an electrostatic force because they both have similar charges. This will increase their electric potential energy of both of them.
Potential energy is the energy at rest of a body. As it increases, the motion of a body will be slower and it will tend towards being stationary.
Answer:
Explanation:
q = 2e = 3.2 x 10^-19 C
mass, m = 6.68 x 10^-27 kg
Kinetic energy, K = 22 MeV
Current, i = 0.27 micro Ampere = 0.27 x 10^-6 A
(a) time, t = 2.8 s
Let N be the alpha particles strike the surface.
N x 2e = q
N x 3.2 x 10^-19 = i t
N x 3.2 x 10^-19 = 0.27 x 10^-6 x 2.8
N = 2.36 x 10^12
(b) Length, L = 16 cm = 0.16 m
Let N be the alpha particles
K = 0.5 x mv²
22 x 1.6 x 10^-13 = 0.5 x 6.68 x 10^-27 x v²
v² = 1.054 x 10^15
v = 3.25 x 10^7 m/s
So, N x 2e = i x t
N x 2e = i x L / v
N x 3.2 x 10^-19 = 2.7 x 10^-7 x 0.16 / (3.25 x 10^7)
N = 4153.85
(c) Us ethe conservation of energy
Kinetic energy = Potential energy
K = q x V
22 x 1.6 x 10^-13 = 2 x 1.5 x 10^-19 x V
V = 1.17 x 10^7 V
