Water falls without splashing at a rate of 0.250 L/s from a height of 2.60 m into abucket of mass 0.750 kg on a scale. If the bucket is originally empty, what does thescale read in newtons 3.00 s after water starts to accumulate in it?
A nucleus that captures a stray neutron must bring the neutronto a stop within the diameter of the nucleus by means of thestrong force. That force, which “glues” the nucleus together, is approximatelyzero outside the nucleus. Suppose that a stray neutronwith an initial speed of 1.4 * 107 m/s is just barely captured by anucleus with diameter d = 1.0 * 10-14 m. Assuming the strongforce on the neutron is constant, find the magnitude of that force.The neutron’s mass is 1.67 * 10-27 kg.
