An accelerating voltage of 2.47 x 10^3 V is applied to an electron gun, producing a beam of electrons originally traveling horiz

ontally north in vacuum toward the center of a viewing screen 33.5 cm away.
(a) What is the magnitude of the deflection on the screen caused by the Earth's gravitational field?

Answer:

6.3445×10⁻¹⁶ m

Explanation:

E = Accelerating voltage = 2.47×10³ V

m = Mass of electron

Distance electron travels = 33.5 cm = 0.335 cm

E=\frac{mv^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\frac{2E}{m}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 2470\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{9.11\times 10^{-31}}}\\\Rightarrow v=29455356.08671\ m/s

Deflection by Earth's Gravity

\Delta =\frac {gt^2}{2}

Now, Time = Distance/Velocity

\Delta =\frac {g\frac{s^2}{v^2}}{2}\\\Rightarrow \Delta =\frac{9.81\frac{0.335^2}{29455356.08671^2}}{2}\\\Rightarrow \Delta =6.3445\times 10^{-16}\ m

∴ Magnitude of the deflection on the screen caused by the Earth's gravitational field is 6.3445×10⁻¹⁶ m

An object of mass m is initially at rest. After a force of magnitude F acts on it for a time T, the object has a speed v. Suppos
adell [148]

Answer:

It takes \frac{1}{2}T to accelerate the object from rest to the speed v.

Explanation:

From Newton's second law:

F=m\cdot a  (1)

and the definition of acceleration,

\displaystyle{a = \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}} (2)

we can solve this problem. Putting (2) in (1) we have:

\displaystyle{F = m\cdot \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}} and solving for \Delta t and considering the initial time as zero (t_0=0) and the initial velocity also zero (v_0=0) we have:

\displaystyle{T=\frac{mv}{F}}

Now, for a mass m^*= 2m and the F^*=4F we can wrtie the same equation:

\displaystyle{T^*=\frac{m^*v}{F^*}} and substituting m^* and F^*:

\displaystyle{T^*=\frac{2m\cdotv}{4F}=\frac{2}{4}T=\boxed{\frac{1}{2}T}}

So now, it only takes half the time to accelerate the object from rest to the speed v
