A nucleus that captures a stray neutron must bring the neutron to a stop within the diameter of the nucleus by means of the strong
force. That force, which "glues" the nucleus together, is approximately zero outside the nucleus. Suppose that a stray neutron with an
initial speed of 1.1 × 10' m/s is just barely captured by a nucleus with diameter d = 1.5 × 1014 m. Assuming that the strong force on the
neutron is constant, find the magnitude of that force. The neutron's mass is 1.67 x 1027 kg.

A nucleus that captures a stray neutron must bring the neutron to a stop within the diameter of the nucleus by means of the strong
force. That force, which "glues" the nucleus together, is approximately zero outside the nucleus. Suppose that a stray neutron with an
initial speed of 1.9 × 107 m/s is just barely captured by a nucleus with diameter d = 1.3 × 10-¹4 m. Assuming that the strong force on the
neutron is constant, find the magnitude of that force. The neutron's mass is 1.67 × 10-27 kg.

An electron with a speed of 1.0 x 10' m/s moves horizontally into a region where a constant vertical force of 4.8 x 10 16 N acts on it. The mass of the electron is 9.11 x 1031 kg. Determine the vertical distance the
electron is deflected during the time it has moved 42 mm horizontally.

Assume that he pulled with a constant force that was 2.5 times his body weight, at an upward angle u of 30 from the horizontal. His mass was 80 kg, and he moved the cars by 1.0 m. Neglecting any retarding force from the wheel rotation, find the speed of the cars at the end of the pull.arrow_forward
