Sunny_sXe [5.5K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

a)  equal 1, b) less than 1

Explanation:

a) the electric force is given by

         Fe = q E

The charge of the electron and proton has the same value, that of the proton is positive and that of the electron is negative

Proton

        Fp = qE

Electron

         Fe = - q E

         Fp / Fe = -1

If we do not take into account the sign the relationship is equal to one (1)

b) to calculate the force we use Newton's second law

           F = ma

           qE = m a

           a = q E / m

The mass of the proton much greater than the mass of the electron

          ap = q E / m_{p}

          ae = - q E /  m_{e}

          ap / ae =  m_{e} /  m_{p} =  m_{e}/1600  m_{e} =1/1600

 It is much smaller than 1

What is the velocity of a proton that has been accelerated by a potential difference of 15 kV? (i)\:\:\:\:\:9.5\:\times\:10^5\:m
andre [41]

Answer:

Velocity of a proton, v=1.7\times 10^6\ m/s    

Explanation:

It is given that,

Potential difference, V=15\ kV=15\times 10^3\ V

Let v is the velocity of a proton that has been accelerated by a potential difference of 15 kV.

Using the conservation of energy as :

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=qV

q is the charge of proton

m is the mass of proton

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2qV}{m}}

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C\times 15\times 10^3\ V}{1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg}

v=1695361.75\ m/s

v=1.69\times 10^6\ m/s

or

v=1.7\times 10^6\ m/s

So, the velocity of a proton is 1.7\times 10^6\ m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

A string that is restricted at both ends has a length of 1.50 m. what is the wavelength of the string’s fundamental frequency?
lara31 [8.8K]
Since it is restricted at both ends, λ/2 = length of string

λ/2 = 1.5m
λ = 1.5*2 = 3m

A bulb converts 9J of energy in each second from an input of 100J of energy. Calculate efficiency of this light bulb
77julia77 [94]
Efficiency is calculated through dividing the actual mechanical advantage by the hypothetical mechanical advantage:

- the actual mechanical advantage is 9J because that's how much work the light bulb doing

- the hypo. mechanical advantage is 100J. Ideally, in a perfect world, the light bulb can convert 100J input into 100J output, but do to resistance and other factors it is not possible.

\frac{9}{100}  = .09
change the decimal to a percentage:

.09 = 9\%
the light bulb had 9% efficiency
