The experiments that claimed to demonstrate cold fusion were found
to have been faulty by others who reviewed them. Also, nobody else
was
able to reproduce the finding in other laboratories. In the world
of
Science, this pretty much says that the initial claims were unfounded.
It would be the first option.
Explanation-
The number of protons is equal to the atomic number the number of neutrons is the mass minus the atomic number.
Answer:
The kinetic energy of the proton at the end of the motion is 1.425 x 10⁻¹⁶ J.
Explanation:
Given;
initial velocity of proton,
= 3 x 10⁵ m/s
distance moved by the proton, d = 3.5 m
electric field strength, E = 120 N/C
The kinetic energy of the proton at the end of the motion is calculated as follows.
Consider work-energy theorem;
W = ΔK.E

where;
K.Ef is the final kinetic energy
W is work done in moving the proton = F x d = (EQ) x d = EQd




Therefore, the kinetic energy of the proton at the end of the motion is 1.425 x 10⁻¹⁶ J.
