An energetic proton is fired at a stationary proton. For the reaction to produce new particles, the two protons must approach each other to within a distance of about 7.8

In proton-beam therapy, a high-energy beam of protons is fired at a tumor. As the protons stop in the tumor, their kinetic energy breaks apart the tumor's DNA, thus killing the tumor cells. For one patient, it is desired to deposit 0.10 J of proton energy in the tumor. To create the proton beam protons are accelerated from rest through a 1.1x104 kV potential difference What is the total charge of the protons that must be fired at the tumor?...
Give answer in scientific notation. A proton is fired directly at a oxygen nucleus. The oxygen nucleus does not move. If the proton's velocity is 4.59 × 105 m/s when it is far from the nucleus, how close will the two particles get to each other before the proton stops and turns around?
Give answer in scientific notation. A proton is fired directly at a helium nucleus. The helium nucleus does not move. If the proton's velocity is 6.33 × 105 m/s when it is far from the nucleus, how close will the two particles get to each other before the proton stops and turns around?
Give answer in scientific notation. A proton is fired directly at a helium nucleus. The helium nucleus does not move. If the proton's velocity is 5.78 ×105 m/s when it is far from the nucleus, how close will the two particles get to each other before the proton stops and turns around?
Hello, I need help with this question with parts A&B: A proton is fired at 3.6 x 10^6 m/s directly towards a stationary +5 microC point charge that cannot move and is 60 cm away from the proton when the proton is first fired. A.) What distance separates the two charges when the speed of the proton has been reduced to 1.2 x 10^5 m/s? The answer for Part A is 0.316 meters. B.) What will be the speed of...
Two stationary particles with the charges q1 = 1.0 C and q2 = -3.0 C are located at a distance of 10 cm from each other. How far from each of the two would a third particle have to be positioned so that the resulting electrostatic force on that particle would be zero? What is the resulting electric field of the stationary particles at this point? We were unable to transcribe this imageWe were unable to transcribe this image
3. (10 pts) High energy particle accelerators convert part of the energy of colliding particles into the masses of particles produced in the collisions. Consider a collision of two protons that produces two charged kaons. The mass of the proton is mp- 938.3 MeV/c2, and the mass of each kaon is mK 493.7 MeV/c2. The reaction is a) The total energy (kinetic energy and rest energy) and total momentum is conserved. Suppose one of the protons is at rest in...
42. (a) The Large Hadron Collider accelerates protons to an energy of 7 TeV (7 * 1012 eV). What is the speed of these protons? Express the result as the difference between the proton speed and the speed of light. (b) Suppose this beam were directed against a fixed target of protons to obtain the reaction p+pp+p+ X, where X represents one or more new particles produced in the reaction. What is the maximum amount of energy available to produce...
The electric field between two parallel plates is uniform, with magnitude 576 N/C. A proton is held stationary at the positive plate, and an electron is held stationary at the negative plate. The plate separation is 4.30 cm. At the same moment, both particles are released (a) Calculate the distance (in cm) from the positive plate at which the two pass each other. Ignore the electrical attraction between the proton and electron cm (b) Repeat part (a) for a sodium...
1. A proton travels directly (head on) towards a stationary lead nucleus, with an initial speed v0, when the proton is a distance x0 from the nucleus. It undergoes an acceleration of magnitude a = kx−2 directed away from the nucleus, where x is the distance from the proton to the nucleus and k is a positive constant. (Assume the lead nucleus remains stationary throughout.) (a) Give an expression for how the velocity of the proton depends on x. (It...
