Answer:

v₂ = 2* v₁

Explanation:

  • Assuming no friction present, the change in the electrostatic potential energy of the electron, must be equal in magnitude to the change in the kinetic energy:

       \Delta U_{ep} = (-e)*\Delta V= - \Delta K = -\frac{1}{2}*m*v^{2}

  • We know that ΔV = 0.2 V, so we can write the following equality:

        e* 0.2V = \frac{1}{2} * m *v_{1} ^{2} (1)

  • Now, if the voltage increases 4 times, we can write the following equality:

       e* 0.8V = \frac{1}{2} * m *v_{2} ^{2} (2)

  • Dividing both sides in (1) and (2), and simplifying common terms, we get:

        \frac{v_{2} ^{2}}{v_{1} ^{2}} = 4\\\\  v_{2} ^{2} = 4*v_{1} ^{2}

  • Taking square roots at both sides, we get:
  • v₂ = 2* v₁
  • The final speed, if the electron is accelerated through a potential difference four times larger, will be double than the one for a potential difference of 0.2 V.

What determines how long it takes for the capacitor to charge?
myrzilka [38]

The time constant determines how long it takes for the capacitor to charge.

To find the answer, we have to know more about the time constant of the capacitor.

<h3>What is time constant?</h3>
  • The time it takes for a capacitor to discharge 36.8% of its charge in a discharging circuit or charge up to 63.2% of its maximum capacity in a charging circuit, given that it has no initial charge, is the time constant of a resistor-capacitor series combination.
  • The circuit's reaction to a step-up (or constant) voltage input is likewise determined by the time constant.
  • As a result, the time constant determines the circuit's cutoff frequency.

Thus, we can conclude that, the time constant determines how long it takes for the capacitor to charge.

Tasting and smelling both involve the ability to sense chemicals. true or false
lara31 [8.8K]
TRUE.
Taste and smell senses are separate senses with their own receptor organs yet they are intimately entwined. Tastants, chemicals in foods are detected by taste buds which consist of special sensory cells.. When stimulated, these cells send signals to specific areas of the brain which then makes us conscious of the perception of taste. Also specialized cells in the nose pick up odorants, airborne odor molecules. Odorants stimulate receptor proteins found on hairlike cilia at the tips of the sensory cells, a process that initiates a neural response.
