How Does an Electric Force Alter the Energy of a Boron Nucleus?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the energy changes in a boron nucleus due to an electric force. Initially, the boron nucleus has a particle energy of 2.767e-9 J, rest energy of 7.65e-10 J, and kinetic energy of 2.002e-9 J. When an electric force does 2.4e-9 J of work on the nucleus, the new particle energy needs to be determined. The rest energy remains constant at 7.65e-10 J, while the kinetic energy will also change as a result of the work done. The focus is on understanding how the electric force impacts the total energy of the boron nucleus.

Homework Statement [/b]

A boron nucleus has mass 8.5e-27 kg. If its speed || is 0.961c (that is, ||/c = 0.961), what are the following values?

particle energy = 2.767e-9 J

rest energy = 7.65e-10 J

kinetic energy = 2.002e-9 J


Next an electric force acts on the boron nucleus and does 2.410-9 J of work on the particle. Now what are the following values?

particle energy = ? J

rest energy = 7.65e-10 J

kinetic energy = ? J

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
