Question

Problem 22.37 Part A The nucleus of a 2 Xe atom (an isotope of he elemenl xenon with mass 125 u) is 6.0 fm in diameter. It has 54 protons and charge q +51e.

Explanation / Answer

Here ,

q1 = 54e

part a) force acting on the proton = k * q1* e/r^2

force acting on the proton = 9 *10^9 * 54 * 1.602 *10^-19 * 1.602 *10^-19/(6/2 *10^-15 + 1 *10^-15)^2

force acting on the proton = 779.5 N

the force acting on the proton is 779.5 N

b)let the acceleration of the proton is a

using second law of motion

m * a = force

1.67 *10^-27 * a = 779.5

a = 4.66 *10^29 m/s^2

the acceleration of proton is 4.66 *10^29 m/s^2
