Transcribed Image Text:Elements that appear in the same column of the periodic table
oflen share sinmilar chemical properties, In the case of the
alkaline earth metals, this is troublesome since the body treats
calcium (necessary for proper bone growth) and radium (a
radioactive element) as chemically similar, storing both in
bone marrow, The radium then bombards nearby bone cells
with alpha particles, causing them to "crumble."
lonized
Radium poisoning investigations often center on the
identification of radium and its isotopes in bone samples using
isotope
a mass spectrometer. Pictured is a schematic of a simplified
mass spectrometer that shows the paths of calcium isotopes,
barium (another alkaline earth metal) isotopes, and radium
isotopes entering the chamber. The region shown is immersed
in a constant magnetic field of 0.352 T pointing out of the

plane of the schematic. Motion of the positively-charged
isotopes toward the right was initiated by a potential
difference of 2876 V on the two plates shown.

- Q 4 pleasearrow_forwardUse the following constants if necessary. Coulomb constant, k = 8.987 x 10° N m2 /C. Vacuum permitivity, eo = 8.854 x 10 12 F/m. Magnitude of the Charge of one electron, e =-1.60217662 x 10-19 C. Mass of one electron, m, = 9.10938356 x 10-31 kg. Unless specified otherwise, each symbol carries their usual meaning. For example, uC means micro coulomb. Y R. Suppose you have 5 point charges q to q, distributed along a semi-circle maintaining equal distance. The charge q6 is on the center of the circle which is also the origin of given coordinate system. The radius of the semi-circle is R = 34 cm and the magnitude of the charges are as follows : 91 = = 19 µC, q2 = q4 = 32 µC and q = q6 = -25 µC. a) Find the vector that points from q to g6 and call it F1,6- b) Calculate the coulomb force on g6 due to q in unit vector notation and call it F16 c) Find the vector that points from q3 to g6 and call it F3,6- d) Calculate the coulomb force on q6 due to g in unit vector notation and call it F36. e)…arrow_forwardCoulomb’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_forward
- Plz correct solutionarrow_forwardThe ratio of the electrostatic force to the gravitational force is different between two electrons and two protons. Why? I. The magnitude of the fundamental charge of an electron is different from a proton. II. Electrons and protons have different masses. III. False. The ratio is the same A. III only B.
