Answer:

The average acceleration during the 6.0 s interval was -27 m/s².

Explanation:

Hi there!

The average acceleration is defined as the change in velocity over time:

a = Δv/t

Where:

a = acceleration.

Δv = change in velocity = final velocity - initial velocity

t = elapsed time

The change in velocity will be:

Δv = final velocity - initial velocity

Δv = -74 m/s - 87 m/s = -161 m/s

(notice the negative sign of the velocity that is in opposite direction to the direction considered positive)

Then the average acceleration will be:

a = Δv/t

a = -161 m/s / 6.0 s

a = -27 m/s²

The average acceleration during the 6.0 s interval was -27 m/s².

If an electron is accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 9.9 kV, what is its resulting speed
beks73 [17]

Answer:

v = 5.9 x 10⁷ m/s

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of the electron in terms of potential difference is given as:

K.E = eV--------------- equation (1)

where,

e = charge on electron = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

V = Potential Difference = 9.9 KV = 9900 Volts

The kinetic energy in general is given as:

K.E = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}\\--------- equation (2)

where,

m = mass of electron = 9.1 x 10⁻³¹ kg

v = speed of electron = ?

Therefore, comparing equation (1) and equation (2), we get:

\\\frac{1}{2}mv^{2} = eV\\\\\frac{1}{2}(9.1\ x\ 10^{-31}\ kg)v^{2} = (1.6\ x\ 10^{-19}\ C)(9900\ volts)\\\\v = \sqrt{34.81\ x\ 10^{14}} \\

<u>v = 5.9 x 10⁷ m/s</u>
