Protons and neutrons are spin-1/2 particles in the nucleus. Find the average energy of the protons as well as the neutrons in the nucleus of a uranium atom, which contains 92 protons and 143 neutrons and has the shape of a sphere of radius of 7.4 × 10−15 m.
An old model of a hydrogen atom has the charge +e of the proton uniformly distributed over a sphere of radius a0, with the electron of charge -e and mass m at its center. (a) What would then be the force on the electron if it were displaced from the center by a distance r # a0? (b) What would be the angular frequency of oscillation of the electron about the center of the atom once the electron was released?
(a) Find the mass density of a proton, modeling it as a solid sphere of radius 1.00 x 10-15 m. (b) What If? Consider a classical model of an electron as a uniform solid sphere with the same density as the proton. Find its radius. (c) Imagine that this electron possesses spin angular momentum Iω = h/2 because of classical rotation about the z axis. Determine the speed of a point on the equator of the electron. (d) State how this speed compares with the speed of light.
