The CERN particle accelerator is circular with a circumference of 7.0 km.

Contact [7]

Answer:

$a_c=2.0196\times 10^{13}\ m/s^2$

$F=3.37273\times 10^{-14}\ N$

Explanation:

m = Mass of proton = $1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg$

v = Speed of proton = 0.5c = $0.5\times 3\times 10^8=1.5\times 10^8\ m/s$

Circumference of the colider is 7 km

$P=2\pi r\\\Rightarrow r=\frac{P}{2\pi}\\\Rightarrow r=\frac{7000}{2\pi}\ m$

$a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow a_c=\frac{\left(1.5\times 10^8\right)^2}{\frac{7000}{2\pi}}\\\Rightarrow a_c=2.0196\times 10^{13}\ m/s^2$

Centripetal acceleration is $2.0196\times 10^{13}\ m/s^2$

$F_c=ma_c\\\Rightarrow F_c=1.67\times 10^{-27}\times 2.0196\times 10^{13}\\\Rightarrow F=3.37273\times 10^{-14}\ N$

Force on protons is $3.37273\times 10^{-14}\ N$

What happens when multiple forces act on an object?

kozerog [31]

They can either cancel each other or add up to a resultant force with a certain direction and modulus.
Newton's second law states that F=m*a, where F is the resultant force, ie ΣF.

What is the repulsive force between two pith balls that are 8.00 cm apart and have equal charges of – 30.0 nC?

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

$F=1.26*10^{-3}N$

Explanation:

Assuming the pith balls as point charges, we can calculate the repulsive force between them, using Coulomb's law:

$F=\frac{kq_1q_2}{d^2}$

We observe that the magnitude of the electric force is directly proportional to the product of the magnitude of both signed charges( $q_1,q_2$ ) and inversely proportional to the square of the distance(d) that separates them.
