Review I Constants I Periodic Table
The nucleus of ?125xe atom (an isotope of the element xenon which has a total of 125 protons and neutrons) is 6.0fm in diameter. (1fm=1 femtometer =110-15m) Xenon has 54 protons; therfore, the nucleus has total charge q=+54e. Another proton (which is not part of the Xenon nucleus) is placed a distance d=1.0fm from the surface of the nucleus. (Figure 1)
Part A
What is the magnitude of the electric force on that other proton? Hint: Treat the spherical nucleus as if it were a point charge with the entirety of the +54e charge at its center.
Express your answer using three significant figures.
