Get started for freeA proton travelling with a velocity of m/spasses the origin at a time 9.0 s after a proton detector is turned on. Assuming that the velocity of the proton does not change, what will be its position at time 9.7 s?
An electron with a speed of 0.95c is emitted by a supernova, where c is the speed of light. What is the magnitude of the momentum of this electron?
Question: In the periodic table on the inside front cover of this book (or one you find on the internet), for each element there is given the "atomic number," the number of protons or electrons in an atom, and the "atomic mass," which is essentially the number of nucleons, protons plus neutrons, in the nucleus, averaged over the various isotopes of the element, which differ in the number of neutrons. Make a graph of the number of neutrons vs. the number of protons in the elements. You needn't graph every element, just enough to see the trend. What do you observe about the data? (This reflects the need for more neutrons in proton-rich nuclei in order to prevent the electric repulsion of the protons of each other from destroying the nucleus.)
