Answer:

 r^2 = \frac{ 2 k  \ Ze^2}{ 2m}

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use the principle of conservation of energy

starting point. The proton very far from the nucleus

          Em₀ = K = ½ m v²

final point. The point where the proton is stopped (v = 0)

          Em_f = U = q V

where the potential is

          V = k Ze / r²

Let us consider that all the charge of the nucleus is in the center, therefore r is the distance from this point to the proton that is approaching

Energy is conserved

          Em₀ = Em_f

           ½ m v² = e (k \frac{Ze}{r^2})

          r^2 = \frac{ 2 k  \ Ze^2}{ 2m}

with this expression we can find the closest approach distance (r)

An ice skater is spinning at 6.00 rev/s with his moment of inertia being 0.400 kg/m2. Calculate his new moment of inertia if he
labwork [276]

Answer:

New moment of inertia will be I=1.92kgm^2

Explanation:

It is given initially angular velocity \omega =6rev/sec=6\times 2\pi =37.68rad/sec

Moment of inertia I=0.4kgm^2

Angular momentum is equal to L=I\omega =37.68\times 0.4=15.072kgm^2/sec

Now angular velocity is decreases to \omega =1.25rev/sec=1.25\times 2\times 3.14=7.85rad/sec

As we know that angular momentum is conserved

So 15.072=I\times 7.85

I=1.92kgm^2

So new moment of inertia will be I=1.92kgm^2

The mass of an object is 60kg on the surface of the earth what will be its weight on the surface of the moon
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Wm = 97.2 [N]

Explanation:

We must make it clear that mass and weight are two different terms, the mass is always preserved that is to say this will never vary regardless of the location of the object. While weight is defined as the product of mass by gravitational acceleration.

W = m*g

where:

m = mass = 60 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 10 [m/s²]

But in order to calculate the weight of the body on the moon, we must know the gravitational acceleration of the moon. Performing a search of this value on the internet, we find that the moon's gravity is.

gm = 1.62 [m/s²]

Wm = 60*1.62

Wm = 97.2 [N]

The closest distance a book can be read from a pair of reading eyeglasses (Power = 1.55 dp) is 26.0 cm. What is the near distanc
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

The image distance is 20.0 cm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Power = 1.55 dp

Distance between book to eye = 26.0+3.00=29.0 cm

We need to calculate the focal length

Using formula of focal length

f = \dfrac{1}{P}

Put the value into the formula

f=\dfrac{1}{1.55}

f=0.645\ m

f=64.5\ cm

We need to calculate the image distance

Using lens formula

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{u}+\dfrac{1}{v}

\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{f}-\dfrac{1}{-u}

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{64.5}-\dfrac{1}{-29}

\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{187}{3741}

v=20.0\ cm

Hence, The image distance is 20.0 cm.
