How much work is needed to assemble an atomic nucleus containing three protons (such as Li) if we model it as an equilateral triangle of side 2.00 x 10-15 m with a proton at each vertex? Assume the protons started from very far away.
A proton's potential energy as a function of distance x from an atomic nucleus, in nm, is given by the so called "Coulomb Potential" U(x) = 20 / x (keV). The proton is launched directly at the atom (assume the atom remains stationary) with kinetic energy 32 keV. Calculate how close the proton will get to the atom, in nm, before being reflected

- In the science fiction story "The little prince is an android" a second journey of the character from the novel by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry is proposed, in which he visits a planet where respect for the ecosystem is paramount. They have developed a technology capable of storing the energy released in electrical storms where 92 lightning strikes are produced every second. In a simplified way, lightning occurs when the potential difference between the cloud and the planet's surface reaches at least 2.6 cross times 10 to the power of 7 volts. The electrical currents generated in lightning are about 3.4 cross times 10 to the power of 4 amperes on average. Determine the average power of 92 lightning strikes produced with these values of potential difference and an electric current.
