- A uranium ion and an iron ion are separated by a distance of ?=57.10 nm, as shown in the figure. The uranium atom is singly ionized; the iron atom is doubly ionized. Calculate the distance ? from the uranium atom at which an electron will be in equilibrium. Ignore the gravitational attraction between the particles. ?= What is the magnitude ?U of the force on the electron from the uranium ion?arrow_forwardYou are asked to consult for the city’s research hospital, where a group of doctors is investigating the bombardment of cancer tumors with high-energy ions. The ions are fired directly toward the center of the tumor at speeds of 5.0×10^6m/s. To cover the entire tumor area, the ions are deflected sideways by passing them between two charged metal plates that accelerate the ions perpendicular to the direction of their initial motion. The acceleration region is 5.0cm long, and the ends of the acceleration plates are 1.5m from the patient. What is the horizontal speed of the ion as it leaves the metal plates?arrow_forward4. A particle of mass m slides without friction along a wire bent into the shape of a circular helix whose equation is z=a0, r=R, where r, 0, and z are the usual cylindrical coordinates, and a is a constant. The particle is attracted to the origin with a force equal to k times the distance from the origin. Write and solve the equation of motion, using the constrains to reduce the problem to one involving a single variable.arrow_forward

- You are asked to consult for the city's research hospital, where a group of doctors is investigating the bombardment of cancer tumors with high-energy ions. The ions are fired directly toward the center of the tumor at speeds of 5.0 x 10°m/s. To cover the entire tumor area, the ions are deflected sideways by passing them between two charged metal plates that accelerate the ions perpendicular to the direction of their initial motion. The acceleration region is 5.0cm long, and the ends of the acceleration plates are 1.5m from the patient. Target Acceleration plates Ion 5.0 cm 1.5 m a. What sideways acceleration (between the plates) is required to deflect an ion 2.0 cm to one side? b. What is the horizontal speed of the ion as it leaves the metal plates? c.

- In your own words, describe the difference between the terms gravitational force and gravitational field.arrow_forwardWhen a star dies, much of its mass may collapse into a single point known as a black hole. The gravitational force of a black hole on surrounding astronomical objects can be very great. Astronomers estimate the strength of this force by observing the orbits of such objects around a black hole. What is the gravitational force exerted by a black hole on a 1-solar-mass star whose orbit has a 1.4 1010 m radius and a period of 5.6 days?arrow_forwardplease answer the second part of this questionarrow_forward
