- Review. From a large distance away, a particle of mass m1, and positive charge q1 is fired at speed in the positive x direction straight toward a second particle, originally stationary but free to move, with mass m2, and positive charge q2. Both particles are constrained to move only along the x axis. (a) At the instant of closest approach, both particles will be moving at the same velocity. Find this velocity, (b) Find the distance of closest approach. After the interaction, the particles will move far apart again. At this time, find the velocity of (c) the particle of mass m1, and (d) the particle of mass m2.arrow_forwardNobel laureate Richard Feynman (19181088) once said that if two persons stood at arms length from each other and each person had 1% more electrons than protons, the force of repulsion between them would be enough to lift a weight equal to that of the entire Earth. Carry out an order-of-magnitude calculation to substantiate this assertion.arrow_forwardThe liquid-drop model of the atomic nucleus suggests high-energy oscillations of certain nuclei can split the nucleus into two unequal fragments plus a few neutrons. The fission products acquire kinetic energy from their mutual Coulomb repulsion. Assume the charge is distributed uniformly throughout the volume of each spherical fragment and. immediately before separating each fragment is at rest and their surfaces are in contact. The electrons surrounding the nucleus can be ignored. Calculate the electric potential energy (in electron volts) of two spherical fragments from a uranium nucleus having the following charges and radii: 38e and 5.50 10-15 m. and 54e and 6.20 10-15 m.arrow_forward

They are released from rest when their centers are separated by 1.00 m. (a) How fast will each be moving when they collide? (b) What If? It the spheres were conductors, would the speeds be greater or less than those calculated in part (a)? Explain.arrow_forwardA 1.75-nC charged particle located at the origin is separated by a distance of 0.0825 m from a 2.88-nC charged particle located farther along the positive x axis.

- A certain five cent coin contains 5.00 g of nickel. What fraction of the nickel atoms’ electrons, removed and placed 1.00 m above it, would support the weight of this coin? The atomic mass of nickel is 53.7, and each nickel atom contains 28 electrons and 28 protonsarrow_forwardIn 1911, Ernest Rutherford and his assistants Geiger and Marsden conducted an experiment in which they scattered alpha particles (nuclei of helium atoms) from thin sheets of gold. An alpha particle, having charge +2e and mass 6.64 10-27 kg, is a product of certain radioactive decay's. The results of the experiment led Rutherford to the idea that most of an atoms mass is in a very small nucleus, with electrons in orbit around it. (This is the planetary model of the atom, which well study in Chapter 42.) Assume an alpha particle, initially very far from a stationary gold nucleus, is fired with a velocity of 2.00 107 m/s directly toward the nucleus (charge +79e). What is the smallest distance between the alpha particle and the nucleus before the alpha particle reverses direction? Assume the gold nucleus remains stationary.arrow_forwardUnreasonable Results A proton has a mass of 1.671027 kg. A physicist measures the proton's total energy to be 50.0 MeV.

- Review. A particle with a charge of 60.0 nC is placed at the center of a nonconducting spherical shell of inner radius 20.0 cm and outer radius 25.0 cm. The spherical shell carries charge with a uniform density of 1.33 C/m3. A proton moves in a circular orbit just outside the spherical shell. Calculate the speed of the proton.arrow_forwardTwo small charged balls have a repulsive force of 0.12 N who they are separated by a distance of 0.85 m. The balls are moved closer together, until the repulsive force is 0.60 N. How far apart are they now?arrow_forwardAdding a proton to a nucleus The nucleus of an atom is positively charged because it consists of positively charged protons and uncharged neutrons. To bring a free proton toward a nucleus, a repulsive force F(r) = kqQ/r2 must be overcome, where q = 1.6 × 10-19 C (coulombs) is the charge on the proton, k = 9 × 109 N · m2/C2, Q is the charge on the nucleus, and r is the distance between the center of the nucleus and the proton. Find the work required to bring a free proton (assumed to be a point mass) from a large distance (r → ∞) to the edge of a nucleus that has a charge Q = 50q and a radius of 6 × 10-11 m.arrow_forward
