The figure below shows the position-versus-force graphs, indicating the initial and final positions of the particle in each case. Find the work done by the force on the particle in each case.arrow_forward
- Coulomb’s law tells us that the electrostatic force between two charged objects can be calculated by: ?= ??1?2/?^2Where k is a constant with a value of 8.99x109 Nm2/C2; ?1 and ?2 are the charges of the two particles (1.602x10-19 C), and r is the distance between the two particles. The force is attractive if the charges of the two particles is opposite (one’s positive and one’s negative) and repulsive if the charges have the same charge (both positive or both negative). Calculate the electrostatic force on proton #1 from the other two protons.Will the gravitational force between the protons be attractive or repulsive? What about the electrostatic force? Which has the larger magnitude, the electrostatic force or the gravitational force? Can the electrostatic and gravitational forces alone create a stable Lithium nucleus?arrow_forwardFill in the blank: Calculate the work done by these forces.
