Coulomb's law is express as:
The concept of this problem is the Law of Conservation of Momentum. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity. To obey the law, the momentum before and after collision should be equal:
m₁ v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₁v₁' + m₂v₂', where
m₁ and m₂ are the masses of the proton and the carbon nucleus, respectively,
v₁ and v₂ are the velocities of the proton and the carbon nucleus before collision, respectively,
v₁' and v₂' are the velocities of the proton and the carbon nucleus after collision, respectively,
m(164) + 12m(0) = mv₁' + 12mv₂'
164 = v₁' + 12v₂' --> equation 1
The second equation is the coefficient of restitution, e, which is equal to 1 for perfect collision. The equation is
(v₂' - v₁')/(v₁ - v₂) = 1
(v₂' - v₁')/(164 - 0) = 1
v₂' - v₁'=164 ---> equation 2
Solving equations 1 and 2 simultaneously, v₁' = -138.77 m/s and v₂' = +25.23 m/s. This means that after the collision, the proton bounced to the left at 138.77 m/s, while the stationary carbon nucleus move to the right at 25.23 m/s.
Answer:
Explanation:
From the question;
We will make assumptions of certain values since they are not given but the process to achieve the end result will be the same thing.
We are to calculate the following task, i.e. to determine the electric field at the distances:
a) at 4.75 cm
b) at 20.5 cm
c) at 125.0 cm
Given that:
the charge (q) = 33.3 nC/m
= 33.3 × 10⁻⁹ c/m
radius of rod = 5.75 cm
a) from the given information, we will realize that the distance lies inside the rod. Provided that there is no charge distribution inside the rod.
Then, the electric field will be zero.
b) The electric field formula 
E = 1461.95 N/C
c) The electric field E is calculated as:
E = 239.76 N/C
Average speed = total distance traveled/total time taken
it is the total distance traveled in a total time the total distance is attained
