a. The kinetic energy of an electron moving with a speed of 5.0×106m/s.

b. The potential energy of an electron and a proton 0.10nmapart.

c. The kinetic energy of a proton that has accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 5000V.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The kinetic energy of an electron isEk=71.17eV

b. The potential energy of an electron and a proton 0.10nmapart isU=-14.42eV.

c. The kinetic energy of a proton isEk=5keV.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) step 1: Given information

We have given that the express in eV.

We need to find kinetic energy of an electron moving with a speed of5.0×106m/s.

02

Part (a) step 2: Simplify

The expression for kinetic energy

Ek=12mv2Ek=12(9.11)(10-31)(5(106))2 Ek=1.13875(10-17)J

03

Part (b) step 1: Given information 

We have given that the express ineV

We need to find potential energy of an electron and a proton 0.10nmapart.

04

Part (b) step 2: Simplify

Using formula for potential energy :

U=q1q24π∈0rU=e(-e)4π∈0(0.1)(10-9)U=-2.307(10-18)J=-14.42eV

05

Part (c) step 1: Given information

We have given that the express in eV

We need to find the kinetic energy of a proton that has accelerated from rest through a potential difference of5000V.

06

Part (c) step 2: Simplify

The expression for kinetic energy when charge accelerating with a potential difference ∆V:

Ek=q∆VEk=e∆VEk=e(5000)Ek=5keV

Through what potential difference would you need to accelerate an alpha particle, starting from rest, so that it will just reach the surface of a 15-fm-diameter 238U nucleus?

A classical atom orbiting at frequency f would emit electromagnetic waves of frequency f because the electron’s orbit, seen edge-on, looks like an oscillating electric dipole.

a. At what radius, in nm, would the electron orbiting the proton in a hydrogen atom emit light with a wavelength of 6?

b. What is the total mechanical energy of this atom?

The Large Hadron Collider accelerates two beams of protons, which travel around the collider in opposite directions, to a total energy of 6.5TeVper proton. ( 1TeV=1teraelectron volt 1012eV) The beams cross at several points, and a few protons undergo headon collisions. Such collisions usually produce many subatomic particles, but in principle the colliding protons could produce a single subatomic particle at rest. (It would be unstable and would almost instantly decay into other subatomic particles.) What would be the mass, as a multiple of the proton's mass, of such a particle?

A cosmic ray travels 60kmthrough the earth’s atmosphere in400ms, as measured by experimenters on the ground. How long does the journey take according to the cosmic ray?

An unknown charged particle passes without deflection through crossed electric and magnetic fields of strengths 187,500V/mand 0.1250T, respectively. The particle passes out of the electric field, but the magnetic field continues, and the particle makes a semicircle of diameter 25.05cm. What is the particle's charge-to-mass ratio? Can you identify the particle?
