Electric Potential and Potential Energy (Uniform Fields) The potential difference ∆V needed to stop a moving charged particle is called the “stopping potential.” Suppose a proton is moving in the +x direction with an initial speed of 7.1 x 106 m/s. Assume the electric force is the only relevant force in this problem. a) Find the stopping potential necessary to bring the proton to rest. b) In which direction is the electric field pointing in order to slow the proton down? c) At the initial position of the proton, the electric potential is 220,000 Volts (220 kilovolts or kV). What is the electric potential at the position where the proton comes to rest? d) Would an electron traveling at the same speed requires greater or lesser magnitude stopping potential? Explain your answer (hint: do an electron and proton moving at the same speed have the same kinetic energy?).
........
An electron is initially at ground level, and the electric potential at that point is assumed to be exactly zero. The electron is immersed in a uniform electric field that points down with a magnitude of 4.4 x 10-11 N/C as well as Earth’s gravitational field (9.8 N/kg, pointing down). Only gravity and the electric force have any effect in this problem. a) If the electron is given an initial upward velocity of 36 m/s, to what maximum height above ground level does it reach? b) What is the change in electric potential energy (final - initial) during this motion? c) How much work is done by the electric force during this motion? d) What is the voltage at the electron’s maximum height?

1.The Celestar 8 telescope available in the Physics Lab is described on Blackboard. The primary mirror of a Celestar 8 has an aperture of 203 mm, and the secondary mirror that blocks the primary mirror has a diameter of 70 mm. The focal length of the primary mirror is 2032 mm. Using this information calculate the following:
a) [2 marks] The fraction of the incoming light blocked by the secondary mirror.
b) [3 marks] The light gathering power of the Celestar 8 telescope, relative to the human eye with a pupil size of 7 mm, in each of these cases: i) Taking into account that the secondary mirror blocks some of the incoming light. ii) Ignoring the blockage of light by the secondary mirror.
c) [2 marks] The resolution of the telescope under ideal conditions (no air turbulence) measured in seconds of arc. Assume that you are observing with the visible wavelength of 550 nm.
d) [2 marks] The diameter, in metres, of the smallest crater that you can observe on the Moon’s surface with the Celestar 8 telescope, assuming ideal seeing conditions (no atmospheric turbulence), visible light with wavelength 550 nm, and the distance to the Moon found on the course formula sheet.
e) [1 mark] The magnification of the Celestar 8 telescope if a 15 mm focal length eyepiece is used.

A 7800 kg rocket blasts off vertically from the launch pad with a constant upward acceleration of 2.15 m/s2 and feels no appreciable air resistance. When it has reached a height of 575 m , its engines suddenly fail so that the only force acting on it is now gravity. A) What is the maximum height this rocket will reach above the launch pad? b)How much time after engine failure will elapse before the rocket comes crashing down to the launch pad? c)How fast will it be moving just before it crashes?

Beginning with the Weizsäcker semi-empirical mass formula, show that the minimum in a mass parabola occurs at a value of atomic number, Zmin, given by
Note: The Weizsäcker semi-empirical mass formula for the binding energy, B, of a nucleus is where A is the atomic mass number of the nucleus and Z is the atomic number of the nucleus. Hint: Although atomic number, Z, only takes integer values, assume it is a continuous variable for the purpose of this exercise.
The expression for atomic mass, m, at the bottom of Page 4/10 of the lecture notes can then be regarded as a quadratic function of Z.
Take ¶m/¶Z, the partial derivative of the expression as a function of Z. ¶m/¶Z is zero at the minimum value of m. Therefore, setting ¶m/¶Z to zero and solving for Z gives you Zmin. Zmin = mn −m p ( −me )c2 +aC A−1/3 +4asym 2aC A−1/3 +8asym A−1 B=+ aV A − aS A2/3 − aC Z(Z −1) A1/3 − asym (A−2Z ) 2 A −aP 1 A3/4
