The difference in electric potential energy between the two points is
where q is the magnitude of the charge and
is the electric potential difference.
But for energy conservation, the difference in electric potential energy
between the two points is equal to the work done to move the charge between A and B:
so we have
and by substituting the numbers of the problem, we find the value of
:
<span>We can use Coulomb's law to find the force F acting on the proton that is released.
F = k x Q1 x Q2 / r^2
k = 9 x 10^9
Q1 is the charge on one proton which is 1.6 x 10^{-19} C
Q2 is the same charge on the other proton
r is the distance between the protons
F = (9x10^9) x (1.6 x 10^{-19} C) x (1.6 x 10^{-19} C) / (10^{-3})^2
F = 2.304 x 10^{-22} N
We can use the force to find the acceleration.
F = ma
a = F / m
a = (2.304 x 10^{-22} N) / (1.67 x 10^{-27} kg)
a = 1.38 x 10^5 m/s^2
The initial acceleration of the proton is 1.38 x 10^5 m/s^2</span>
To solve this problem we will apply the principle of conservation of energy. For this purpose, potential energy is equivalent to kinetic energy, and this clearly depends on the position of the body. In turn, we also note that the height traveled is twice that of the rigid rod, therefore applying these concepts we will have
Therefore the minimum speed at the bottom is required to make the ball go over the top of the circle is 4.67m/s
K=1400*V^2/2
K=20000*25^2/2. => 1400*V^2/2=20000*25^2/2 <=> 1400*V^2=20000*25^2
14*V^2=200*225
v^2=100*225/7
v=250/7^(1/2)
Answer: 250*7^(1/2)/7
