Two electrons are initially at rest separated by a distance of 2nm. At time t=0, they start to move apart due to Coulombic repulsion. How long does it take for them to separate to a distance of 20nm?

Answer:

[tex]t=2.5\times 10^{-14}\ s[/tex]

Explanation:

We know that charge on electron

[tex]q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C[/tex]

r= 2 nm

We know that force between two charge given

[tex]F=K\dfrac{Q_1Q_2}{r^2}[/tex]

Now by putting the value

[tex]F=9\times10^9\dfrac{1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{(2\times 10^{-9})^2}[/tex]

[tex]F=5.67\times 10^{-11}\ N[/tex]

We know that mass of electron

The mass of electron

[tex]m=9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg[/tex]

F= m a

a= Acceleration of electron

a= F/m

[tex]a=\dfrac{5.67\times 10^{-11}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}\ m/s^2[/tex]

[tex]a=6.2\times 10^{19} m/s^2[/tex]

[tex]S=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2[/tex]

initial velocity given that zero ,u=0

[tex]20\times 10^{-9}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 6.2\times 10^{19} t^2[/tex]

[tex]t=\sqrt {\dfrac{40\times 10^{-9}}{6.2\times 10^{19}}}[/tex]

[tex]t=2.5\times 10^{-14}\ s[/tex]
