Answer:

a) Speed of the electrons at maximum speed = (1.384 × 10⁴) m/s

The maximum speed occurs at the point where all of the initial potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.

b) Maximum acceleration of the protons = (2.660 × 10¹⁷) m/s²

The maximum acceleration occurs at the minimum distance apart for the two protons.

Explanation:

The maximum speed occurs when all the potential energy of the protons has been converted to kinetic energy.

The potential energy between the two protons at the instant of release is given by

U = (kq₁q₂/r)

k = Coulomb' s constant = (8.988 × 10⁹) Nm²/C²

q₁ = q₂ = charge on a proton = q = (1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹) C

r = separation between the two protons = 0.72 nm = (7.2 × 10⁻¹⁰) m

U = (kq²/r) = [(8.988 × 10⁹) × (1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹)²] ÷ (7.2 × 10⁻¹⁰) = (3.204 × 10⁻¹⁹) N/m or Joules

At the maximum speeds, the two protons will not possess any potential Energy, only kinetic energy.

The sum of kinetic and potential energies is always constant for the system

(Initial Kinetic Energy) + (Initial Potential Energy) = (Kinetic Energy at maximum speed) + (Potential Energy at maximum speed)

Initial Kinetic Energy of the system = 0 J (Since both protons were intially at rest)

Initial Potential Energy = (3.204 × 10⁻¹⁹) J

Kinetic Energy at maximum speed = Sum of the kinetic energies of the protons at this point = (½mv²) + (½mv²) = (mv²) J (Since theu are both protons, they have the same mass and the same speed at maximum speed)

Potential Energy at maximum speed = 0 J

0 + (3.204 × 10⁻¹⁹) = mv² + 0

mv² = (3.204 × 10⁻¹⁹)

m = mass of a proton = (1.673 × 10⁻²⁷) kg

v = speed of each of the protons at maximum speed = ?

v = √[(3.204 × 10⁻¹⁹) ÷ m]

v = √[(3.204 × 10⁻¹⁹) ÷ (1.673 × 10⁻²⁷)]

v = √(1.915 × 10⁸) = 13,838.8 m/s = (1.384 × 10⁴) m/s

b) Since the two protons repel each other and force of repulsion reduces as the dI stance between the protons increases, the maximum acceleration occurs at the minimum distance apart for the two protons.

Force of repulsion acting on each proton is given through Coulomb's law as

F = (kq₁q₂/r²)

And the force acting on each proton is obtainable using Newton's law that

F = ma

So, the acceleration of each proton at any time is obtainable through a relation of these 2 formulas.

ma = (kq₁q₂/r²)

a = (kq₁q₂/r²m)

k = Coulomb' s constant = (8.988 × 10⁹) Nm²/C²

q₁ = q₂ = charge on a proton = q = (1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹) C

r = separation between the two protons = 0.72 nm = (7.2 × 10⁻¹⁰) m

m = mass of a proton = (1.673 × 10⁻²⁷) kg

a = [(8.988 × 10⁹) × (1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹)²] ÷ [(7.2 × 10⁻¹⁰)² × (1.673 × 10⁻²⁷)]

a = (2.660 × 10¹⁷) m/s²

Hope this Helps!!!

A house is advertised as having 1460 square feet under roof. What is the area of this house in square meters?
Wewaii [24]

Answer: 131.92 m

Explanation: The problem give above is a conversion problem. To convert any measurement from one unit to another, we need a relation for the original units to that of the desired unit. This relation is called the conversion factor. It is used by multiplying or dividing the factor depending on what is the unit of the original measurement. For this case, we need to convert from ft^2 to m^2. The conversion factor would be 1 foot is equal to 0.3048 m. So, we would be getting the square of the factor and then multiply to the original value.

1420 ft^2 ( 0.3048 m / 1 ft)^2 = 131.92 m

What is the speed of sound in dry air at 0°C? A. 316 meters/second B. 331 meters/second C. 346 meters/second D. 373 meters/secon
amm1812

Answer:

The speed of sound in dry air at 0°C is 331 meters/second

Explanation:

Sound wave is a longitudinal wave. The speed of sound depends on the density and compressibility of the medium. If the density of the medium is less, then it will have faster speed of sound and if the compressibility of the medium is high, it will have slower speed of sound.

It also depends on the temperature. At 20 degrees Celsius, the speed of sound is 343 m/s. At 25 degrees Celsius, its speed is 346 m/s and at 0 degrees Celsius, the speed of sound in dry air is 331.3 m/s

The formula is as follows :

v=(331.3+0.606\times T)\ m/s

T = 0°C

v = 331.3 m/s

or

v = 331 m/s

So, the correct option is (b) "331 meters/second".

A 3-kg object is attached to a spring and moving in simple harmonic motion. Its angular frequency is 20 rads/sec. When the mass-
Trava [24]

Answer:19.5 J

Explanation:

Given

mass of block=3 kg

angular frequency=20 rad/sec

spring constant k=\omega _n^2m=1200 N/m

we know total energy remain conserved

E_T at x=0.1 m

E_T=E_P+E_K

Where E_K=kinetic energy

E_P=potential Energy

E_P=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

E_P=600\times 0.01=6 J

E_K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

E_K=\frac{1}{2}\times 3\times 3^2=13.5 J

E_T=13.5+6=19.5 J

When mass reaches amplitude its velocity becomes zero

there is only potential energy which is equal to Total energy

E_T=E_P=19.5 J

Suppose your salary in 2012 is $70,000. Assuming an annual inflation rate of 7%, what salary do you need to earn in 2020 in orde
s2008m [1.1K]

Annual salary(2012) = $70,000

Annual inflation = 7%

Therefore, the salary you need to earn in 2020 in order to have the same purchasing power can be calculated below

2020-2012=8\text{ years}FV=PV\times(1+r)^n

where

n = 8

r = 7/100 = 0.07

PV = 70, 000

\begin{gathered} FV=70,000(1+0.07)^8 \\ FV=70000(1.07)^8 \\ FV\text{ = 70000}\times1.71818617983 \\ FV=120273.032588 \\ FV=\text{  \$}120,273.03 \end{gathered}

The salary you need to earn in 2020 to have the same purchasing power = $120, 273.03
