If proton and an electron have the same speed which has the longer de Broglie wavelength?

It is electron since wavelength = h/(mv), and since proton's mass > electron's mass, electron's wavelength is longer.


Proton and an alpha particle are released from rest when they are 0.225 apart. The alpha particle has four times the mass and two times the charge of a proton. What is the max speed of the proton?

From energy conservation set the initial electric potential energy = to the electrical potential energy at an arbitrary separation (as they fly apart) + the kinetic energy of each particle. Next write alpha velocity in terms of proton velocity by requiring momentum conservation (total momentum is always zero because they started from rest). Next solve for proton velocity. By inspection see that the max will occur when the arbitrary separation distance ,used above, is infinite. This should give you an equation for max proton velocity in terms of proton mass & charge & initial separation & Coulomb constant. PS: If the proton speed is close to the speed of light you would have to solve the problem relativistically,to get a correct answer, but should still be doable using conservation of energy & momentum.

Determine the speed of an electron moving in a circle about the proton using the attractive electric force between an electron and a proton separated by this distan?

E=zce^2/4pi r = mv^2 =nhv/w wherer w is the wavelength.zce^2/2w = nhv/w and v= zce^2/2nh = c Alpha/n where Alpha is the Fine Structure Constant 7.2e-3.V= 7.2e-3c/n = 2.16e6/n m/s. The speed of the electron is 2.16 mega m/s when n=1 the lowest level.


Does an electron have the same speed as a proton?

Both electrons and protons can travel at different speeds. However, since a proton has about 1800 more mass than an electron, the same voltage will make an electron move faster than a proton.Both electrons and protons can travel at different speeds.

If an electron and a proton have the same momentum which has the higher speed?

The electron, because it has much less mass than the proton and momentum is the product of mass and speed.

What is the mass of a proton moving at a speed of 2370 meters per second?

The mass of a proton is approximately 1.67 x 10^-27 kilograms. To calculate the relativistic mass of a proton moving at a speed of 2370 meters per second, you would need to use the formula for relativistic mass, which takes into account the increase in mass due to the proton's speed approaching the speed of light.


What speed of a proton that is accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 120V?

The speed of the proton can be calculated using the formula for kinetic energy: KE = 1/2 mv^2, where KE is the kinetic energy, m is the mass of the proton, and v is the speed of the proton. The potential energy gained by the proton is equal to qV, where q is the charge of the proton and V is the potential difference. Setting the potential energy gained equal to the kinetic energy, we can solve for v.

When A proton initially at rest falls through a p.d of 25000v .what speed does it gain?

The kinetic energy gained by the proton is equal to the work done on it by the electric field. Using the equation for work, you can find the final velocity of the proton. Given the potential difference (voltage) of 25000 V, you can calculate the speed gained by the proton.


When a proton move freely in a magnetic field what will be effect on momentum and speed?

When a proton moves freely in a magnetic field, its momentum will not change but its direction will be affected. The proton will experience a force perpendicular to its velocity, causing it to move in a circular path, hence its speed will remain constant.


Does protons have the same mass?

Each proton has the same mass as any other proton, as long as the proton is not in motion. Motion close to the speed of light can increase the mass for quantum theory reasons.
