In a certain particle accelerator, a proton reaches an acceleration of 9.0 Ă— 10 13 m/s 2. The mass of a proton is 1.67 Ă— 10 -27 kg. What is the force on the proton?
Added by Timothy S.
Step 1
According to Newton's second law of motion, force (F) is calculated using the formula: \[ F = m \cdot a \] where \( m \) is the mass and \( a \) is the acceleration. Show more…

In a particle accelerator, a proton has mass to a nar a paton has mass $1.67 \times 10^{-27} \mathrm{kg}$ and an initial speed of $2.00 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ It moves in a straight line, and its speed increases to $9.00 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ in a distance of $10.0 \mathrm{cm} .$ Assume that the acceleration is constant. Find the magnitude of the force exerted on the proton.

In a particle accelerator, a proton has a mass of 1.67 x 10^-27 kg and an initial speed of 3.00 x 10^5 m/s. It moves in a straight line, and its speed increases to 6.00 x 10^5 m/s in a distance of 20.0 cm. Assuming that the acceleration is constant, find the magnitude of the force (in N) exerted on the proton. A. 1.13 x 10^-15 N B. 8.41 x 10^-16 N C. 1.31 x 10^-15 N D. 8.14 x 10^-16 N
