Answer:

The change in potential energy is  \Delta  PE =  -  3.8*10^{-16} \ J

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The  magnitude of the uniform electric field  is  E =  950 \ N/C

      The  distance traveled by the electron is  x =  2.50 \ m

Generally the force on this electron is  mathematically represented as

     F =  qE

Where F is the force and  q is the charge on the electron which is  a constant value of  q =  1.60*10^{-19} \ C

    Thus  

      F  =  950  * 1.60 **10^{-19}

      F  = 1.52 *10^{-16} \ N

Generally the work energy theorem can be mathematically represented as

          W =  \Delta  KE

Where W is the workdone on the electron by the  Electric field and  \Delta  KE  is the change in kinetic energy

Also  workdone on the electron can also  be represented as

        W =  F* x  *cos(  \theta )

Where  \theta  =  0 ^o considering that the movement of the electron is along the x-axis  

        So

             \Delta  KE  =  F  * x  cos  (0)

substituting values

         \Delta  KE  =  1.52 *10^{-16}  * 2.50   cos  (0)

          \Delta  KE   =  3.8*10^{-16} J

Now From the law of energy conservation

       \Delta PE  =  -  \Delta  KE

Where \Delta  PE is the change  in  potential energy  

Thus  

        \Delta  PE =  -  3.8*10^{-16} \ J

Explain the molecular concept of thermal energy.
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

The temperature of an object increases when the molecules that make up that object move faster. Thermal energy is energy possessed by an object or system due to the movement of particles within the object or the system.
