Q3. Two protons in an atomic nucleus are typically sepa- rated by a distance of 2.3*10^-15 m. The electric repulsive force between the protons is huge, but the attractive nuclear force is even stronger and keeps the nucleus from bursting apart. What is the magnitude of the electric force between two protons separated by 2.3*10^-15 m (if you know that the charge of proton = 1.6*10-19)?
Problem A newly discovered light positively charged particle has a mass of m and charge q. Suppose it moves within the vicinity of an extremely heavy (fixed in place) particle with a positive charge Q and mass M. When the light particle is xi distance from the heavy particle, it is moving directly away from the heavy particle with a speed of vi. a) What is the lighter particle's speed when it is xf away from the heavy particle? (Consider the Newtonian Gravitation acting between the two charged particles. Ignore the effects of external forces) Solution: We may solve this using two approaches. One involves the Newton's Laws and the other involving Work-Energy theorem. To avoid the complexity of vector solution, we will instead employ the Work-Energy theorem, more specifically, the Conservation of Energy Principle. Let us first name the lighter particle as object 1 and the heavy particle as object 2. Through work-energy theorem, we will take into account all of the energy of the…

(d) What is the potential difference (in V) between A and B?
Shown are the configuration of a gel electrophoresis experiment. Charged plates establish an electric field on a region of gel between the plates. A solution of DNA fragments, which acquire a negative charge in solution, is analyzed by using an electric field to drive the fragments through the gel. A drag force opposes the motion, causing the fragments to move at a constant speed. Larger fragments move more slowly, so the fragments separate by size to give a “fingerprint” of the sample. In the system shown , the electric field is directed to the _____; the DNA fragments move to the _____.A. right, right B. right, leftC. left, right D. left, left

A positron has the charge and mass of an electron except that the charge is positive. A positron that is initially at rest at a distance of 2.0 nm away from a stationary carbon nucleus is then allowed to move freely. What will be the speed of the positron when it is infinitely far away from the carbon nucleus? Since the carbon nucleus is much more massive than the positron, it remains at rest. The mass and charge of a positron are m = 9.11 x 10-31 kg and e = 1.602 x 10-19 C, respectively, while the charge of a carbon nucleus is 6e. a. 3.0 x 106 m/s b. 2.4 x 106 m/s c. 1.8 x 106 m/s d. 3.6 x 106 m/s e. 1.2 x 106 m/s
Multiple-Concept Example 3 provides some pertinent background for this problem. Suppose a single electron orbits about a nucleus containing two protons (+2e), as would be the case for a helium atom from which one of the naturally occurring electrons is removed.
