Which of the particles in Figure 22.47 has the greatest velocity, assuming they have identical charges and masses?
Nobel laureate Richard Feynman (19181088) once said that if two persons stood at arms length from each other and each person had 1% more electrons than protons, the force of repulsion between them would be enough to lift a weight equal to that of the entire Earth. Carry out an order-of-magnitude calculation to substantiate this assertion.
Integrated Concepts A lightning bolt strikes a tree, moving 20.0 C of charge through a potential difference of 1.00102 MV. (a) What energy was dissipated? (b) What mass of water could be raised from 15°C to the boiling point and then boiled by this energy? (c) Discuss the damage that could be caused to the tree by the expansion of the boiling steam.
Which of the particles in Figure 22.47 has the greatest mass, assuming all have identical charges and velocities?
Many textbooks claim Franklin decided that moving charged particles are positive. How would you correct this claim? Think about these questions in developing your answer: Did Franklins model include particles? What did the terms positive and negative mean to Franklin?
In 1911, Ernest Rutherford and his assistants Geiger and Marsden conducted an experiment in which they scattered alpha particles (nuclei of helium atoms) from thin sheets of gold. An alpha particle, having charge +2e and mass 6.64 10-27 kg, is a product of certain radioactive decay's. The results of the experiment led Rutherford to the idea that most of an atoms mass is in a very small nucleus, with electrons in orbit around it. (This is the planetary model of the atom, which well study in Chapter 42.) Assume an alpha particle, initially very far from a stationary gold nucleus, is fired with a velocity of 2.00 107 m/s directly toward the nucleus (charge +79e). What is the smallest distance between the alpha particle and the nucleus before the alpha particle reverses direction? Assume the gold nucleus remains stationary.
Integrated Concepts The classic Millikan oil drop experiment was the first to obtain an accurate measurement of the charge on an electron. In it, oil drops were suspended against the gravitational force by a vertical electric field. (See Figure 18.58.) Given the oil drop to be 1.00 m in radius and have a density of 920 kg/m3: Find the weight of the drop. (b) If the drop has a single excess electron, find the electric field strength needed to balance its weight.
Integrated Concepts The temperature near the center of the Sun is thought to be 15 million degrees Celsius (1.5 107). Through what voltage must a singly charged ion be accelerated to have the same energy as the average kinetic energy of ions at this temperature?
Review. From a large distance away, a particle of mass 2.00 g and charge 15.0 C is fired at 21.0 m/s straight toward a second particle, originally stationary but free to move, with mass 5.00 g and charge 8.50 C. Both particles are constrained to move only along the x axis. (a) At the instant of' closest approach, both particles will be moving at the same velocity. F'ind this velocity. (b) Find the distance of closest approach. After the interaction, the particles will move far apart again. At this time, find the velocity of (c) the 2.00-g particle and (d) the 5.00-g particle.
