A car traveling at 24 m/s starts to decelerate steadily. It comes to a complete stop in 8 seconds. What is its acceleration?

Formula for velocity:
V(t) = Vi + at
Where V(t) is velocity at time t, Vi is initital velocity, and a is acceleration.
Solving for a:
V(8) = Vi + a(8)
V(8) = 0 (car has stopped)
0 = 24 + 8a
-24 = 8a
a = -3 m/s/s

The electron gun in a television tube accelerates electrons (mass = 9.11x10^-31 kg, charge = 1.6 x 10^-19C) from rest to 3 x10^7

stich3 [128]

Answer:

Electric field acting on the electron is 127500 N/C.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of an electron, $m=9.11\times 10^{-31}\ kg$

Charge on electron, $q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

Initial speed of electron, u = 0

Final speed of electron, $v=3\times 10^7\ m/s$

Distance covered, s = 2 cm = 0.02 m

We need to find the electric field required. Firstly, we will find the acceleration of the electron from third equation of motion as :

$a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}$

$a=\dfrac{(3\times 10^7)^2-0}{2\times 0.02}$

$a=2.25\times 10^{16}\ m/s^2$

According to Newton's law, force acting on the electron is given by :

F = ma

$F=9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 2.25\times 10^{16}$

$F=2.04\times 10^{-14}\ N$

Electric force is given by :

F = q E, E = electric field

$E=\dfrac{F}{q}$

$E=\dfrac{2.04\times 10^{-14}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}$

E = 127500 N/C

So, the electric field is 127500 N/C. Hence, this is the required solution.
