consider a hypothetical case in which the charge on a proton is twice that of an electron . Using this hypothetical case , and the fact that atoms maintain a charge of 0 , how many protons , neutrons , and electrons would a potassium -39 atom contain ?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Charge on a proton is twice that of an electron menas atom lost two electrons.

Atomic number of Potassium(K) = 19 and it has dipositive charge.

Number of protons = 19

number of electrons = 17

number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number

                                = 39 - 19

                                = 20

Consider a charge configuration in which a point charge of strength +50 nC is placed at (x, y, z) = (+2.0, 0, 0) m, and another point charge, of strength −25 nC, is placed at (x, y, z) = (−2.0, 0, 0) m. (i) Calculate an expression for the electric potential along the x-axis between the two charges. Hint: exercise care with how you define the value for r for each charge. (ii) Make a rough plot (by hand) of...

(a) You decided to turn a neutron into a proton. Making sure that the charge is conserved, you wrote down n → p + e-. When you actually did the experiment, an antineutrino came out in addition, making the actual interaction n → p + e -+ ¯ν. Among what needs to be conserved, what was not conserved in the interaction without the antineutrino? (b) You managed to capture the emitted electron inside of a one-dimensional infinite potential well with...

An alpha particle is a nucleus of helium. It has twice the charge and four times the mass of the proton. When they were very far away from each other, but headed toward directly each other, a proton and an alpha particle each had an initial speed of 0.005c, where c is the speed of light. What is their distance of closest approach? Hint: There are two conserved quantities. Make use of both of them. (c = 3.00 × 108...

An alpha particle is a nucleus of helium. It has twice the charge and four times the mass of the proton. When they were very far away from each other, but headed toward directly each other, a proton and an alpha particle each had an initial speed of 4.1×10-3 c, where c is the speed of light. What is their distance of closest approach? There are two conserved quantities. Make use of both of them. (c = 3.00 × 10^8...

Consider a hypothetical economy in which the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.50. That is, if disposable income increases by $1, consumption increases by 50¢.
