The protons in a nucleus are approximately 2 ✕ 10−15 m apart. Consider the case where the protons are a distance d = 1.85 ✕ 10−15 m apart. Calculate the magnitude of the electric force (in N) between two protons at this distance.
A carbon nucleus and an iron nucleus are initially located 5.22 nm apart from one another. How much work would it take to move the carbon nucleus to a new distance of 2.27 nm from the iron nucleus?
Now you have a nucleus with 17 protons at x = 5.8 Angstroms on the x-axis. How much work would it take to bring in ANOTHER nucleus with 14 protons from 1 m away and place it at y = 8.0 Angstroms on the y-axis?
