Answer:
Range, 
Explanation:
The question deals with the projectile motion of a particle mass M with charge Q, having an initial speed V in a direction opposite to that of a uniform electric field.
Since we are dealing with projectile motion in an electric field, the unknown variable here, would be the range, R of the projectile. We note that the electric field opposes the motion of the particle thereby reducing its kinetic energy. The particle stops when it loses all its kinetic energy due to the work done on it in opposing its motion by the electric field. From work-kinetic energy principles, work done on charge by electric field = loss in kinetic energy of mass.
So, [tex]QER = MV²/2{/tex} where R is the distance (range) the mass moves before it stops
Therefore {tex}R = MV²/2QE{/tex}
Answer:
Explanation:
a ) starting from rest , so u = o and initial kinetic energy = 0 .
Let mass of the skier = m
Kinetic energy gained = potential energy lost
= mgh = mg l sinθ
= m x 9.8 x 70 x sin 30
= 343 m
Total kinetic energy at the base = 343 m + 0 = 343 m .
b )
In this case initial kinetic energy = 1/2 m v²
= .5 x m x 2.5²
= 3.125 m
Total kinetic energy at the base
= 3.125 m + 343 m
= 346.125 m
c ) It is not surprising as energy gained due to gravitational force by the earth is enormous . So component of energy gained due to gravitational force far exceeds the initial kinetic energy . Still in a competitive event , the fractional initial kinetic energy may be the deciding factor .
