The four 1.0 g spheres shown in FIGURE P25.42 are released simultaneously and allowed to move away from each other. What is the speed of each sphere when they are very far apart?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The value of the speed of each sphere are 0.49m/s

Step by step solution

01

Theory of the speed of each sphere 

The potential energy of each point

Uij=1/(4πε0)q1qjrijij=1,2.......q1toq4=qr13=2rU=41/(4πε0qqr+21/(4πε0(q)(q)2rq=10-18C

The equation of U is applicable for all position of particle with their different distance .

By separation of each charges

r12=10-2cmr13=10-22m

applying all data

U=41/(4πε0qqr+21/(4πε0(q)(q)2rU=9.5×10-5(5.1414)J

02

Definition of the speed of each sphere

Now the kinetic energy for the four charge is

k=412×10-3kgv2v=0.49m/s

The value of the speed of each sphere are 0.49m/s

In a semiclassical model of the hydrogen atom, the electron

orbits the proton at a distance of 0.053 nm.

a. What is the electric potential of the proton at the position of the electron?

b. What is the electron’s potential energy?

A +3.0 nC charge is at x = 0 cm and a -1.0 nC charge is at x = 4 cm. At what point or points on the x-axis is the electric potential zero?

Physicists often use a different unit of energy, the electron volt, when dealing with energies at the atomic level. One electron volt, abbreviated eV, is defined as the amount of kinetic energy gained by an electron upon accelerating through a 1.0 V potential difference. a. What is 1 electron volt in joules? b. What is the speed of a proton with 5000 eV of kinetic energy?

Two10-cm-diameter electrodes 0.50cmapart form a parallel plate capacitor. The electrodes are attached by metal wires to

the terminals of a 15Vbattery. After a long time, the capacitor is disconnected from the battery but is not discharged. What are the charge on each electrode, the electric field strength inside the capacitor, and the potential difference between the electrodes

a. Right after the battery is disconnected?

b. After insulating handles are used to pull the electrodes away from each other until they are 1.0cmapart?

c. After the original electrodes (not the modified electrodes of part b) are expanded until they are 20cmin diameter?

In proton-beam therapy, a high-energy beam of protons is fired at a tumor. As the protons stop in the tumor, their kinetic energy breaks apart the tumor’s DNA, thus killing the tumor cells. For one patient, it is desired to deposit 0.10J of proton energy in the tumor. To create the proton beam, protons are accelerated from rest through a 10,000kV potential difference. What is the total charge of the protons that must be fired at the tumor?
