81. Take the derivative of the Lennard–Jones potential to express the force exerted on one atom by another as a function of the distance R between them. Calculate the forces (in joules per meter) on a pair of interacting argon atoms at distances of 3.0, 3.4, 3.8, and 4.2 × 10210 m. To calculate the direction of the force on each atom, assume that one Ar atom is at the origin and the other argon atom is at the coordinates (23.0 Å, 0), (23.4 Å, 0), (23.8 Å, 0), and (24.2 Å, 0). Calculate the vector components Fx and Fy for the force F5 (Fx, Fy) on the argon atom at the origin (particle 1 in the solutions) and the vector components for the force on the other atom (particle 2 in the solution), showing explicitly what you are using for the unit vector ˆ21 r or the unit vector ˆ12 r .

Four parallel plates are connected in a vacuum as shown in the picture. An electron with initial velocity, 1.02 x 10°m/s in the hole of plate X is accelerated to the right. Gravity is negligible once the electron passes through holes at W and Y. However due to the high air viscosity, the electrons loses 1.6 × 10-17) of 1V = energy between the plate W to plate Y. It then passes through the hole at Y and slows down as it heads to plate Z.
