Answer:

$1.6726\cdot 10^{-27} kg$

Explanation:

The three main particles that make an atom are:

- Proton: its mass is $1.6726\cdot 10^{-27} kg$ , it carries an electric charge of +e ( $e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C$ ), and it is located in the nucles of the atom

- Neutron: its mass is $1.6749 \cdot 10^{-27}kg$ , it carries no electric charge, and it is also located in the nucleus of the atom

- Electron: its mass is $9.1094 \cdot 10^{-31}kg$ , it carries an electric charge of -e ( $e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C$ ), and it is located outside the nucleus

Let's take two balls, each of radius 0.1 meters and charge them each to 3 microCoulombs. Then, let's put them on a flat surface

salantis [7]

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the electric potential energy of two charges at a distance R as follows.

R = 2r

= $2 \times 0.1 m$

= 0.2 m

where, R = separation between center's of both Q's. Hence, the potential energy will be calculated as follows.

U = $\frac{k \times Q \times Q}{R}$

= $\frac{8.98 \times 10^{9} \times (3 \times 10^{-6} C)^{2}}{0.1}$

= 0.081 J

As, both the charges are coming towards each other with the same energy so there will occur equal sharing of electric potential energy between these two charges.

Therefore, when these charges touch each other then they used to posses maximum kinetic energy, that is, $\frac{U}{2}$ .

Hence, K.E = $\frac{U}{2}$

= $\frac{0.081}{2}$

= 0.0405 J

Now, we will calculate the speed of balls as follows.

V = $\sqrt{\sqrt{\frac{2 \times K.E}{m}}$

= $\sqrt{\sqrt{\frac{2 \times 0.0405}{4 kg}}$

= 0.142 m/s

Therefore, we can conclude that final speed of one of the balls is 0.142 m/s.

What does the law of conservation of energy state?

VikaD [51]

The total amount of energy remains constant in an isolated system. It implies that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but can be change from one form to another.
