A proton is fired from far away toward the nucleus of an iron atom. Iron is element number 26, and the diameter of the nucleus is 9.0 fm. What initial speed does the proton need to just reach the surface of the nucleus? Assume the nucleus remains at rest
Lab 2: Kinematics Members: Samantha Rubin, Marguerite Furlong, Zoe Gaber Table Number: 2 Introduction Kinematics explores the relationship between objects and motion, particularly for this lab, an object in free fall. Velocity and acceleration are mathematically represented with their derivatives in respect to either position or velocity in terms of time: Here, Δx is identified as the initial position of x subtracted from the final position of x, and Δv, is the initial velocity subtracted from the final velocity. When acceleration is constant with respect to time, we can relate the following kinema
