A simple and common technique for accelerating electrons is shown in the figure, where there is a uniform electric field between

two plates. Electrons are released, usually from a hot filament, near the negative plate, and there is a small hole in the positive plate that allows the electrons to pass through.
Calculate the horizontal component of the acceleration of the electron if the field strength is 2.55*10^4 N/C. Express your answer in m/s^2 and assume the electric field is pointing in the negative x-direction.

Answer : 4.483\times 10^{15}\ m/s^2.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Electric field strength, E=2.55\times 10^{4}\ N/C

We know that,

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

Mass of electron, m=9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg

From the definition of electric field, F=qE...............(1)

According to Newton's second law, F = ma..........(2)

From equation (1) and (2)

ma=qE

a=\dfrac{qE}{m}

a=\dfrac{1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C\times 2.55\times 10^{4}\ N/C }{9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg}

a=0.4483\times 10^{16}\ m/s^2

or

a=4.483\times 10^{15}\ m/s^2

So, the horizontal component of acceleration of an electron is 4.483\times 10^{15}\ m/s^2.

Hence, it is the required solution.

From a lake, water is pumped at a rate of 67 L/s to a storage tank positioned 14 m above while consuming 16.4 kW of electrical p
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

57 %

Explanation:

input power = 16.4 kW = 16.4 x 10^3 W = 16400 W

Water pumped per second = 67 L/s

Mass of water pumped per second, m = Volume of water pumped epr second x density of water

m = 67 x 10^-3 x 1000 = 67 kg/s

height raised, h = 14 m

Output Power = m x g x h / t = 67 x 10 x 14 = 9380 W

efficiency = output power / input power = 9380 / 16400 = 0.57

% efficiency = 57 %

thus, the efficiency of the pump is 57 %.

A piano emits frequencies that range from a low of about 28 hertz to a high of about 4200 hz.find the range of wavelength in air
AVprozaik [17]
The solution for this problem is:
A velocity of wave is given as V = λ⋅f
V - velocity of wave
f - frequency of wave
λ -  wave length

So getting the wave length is:
λ = V/f
λminimum = V / fmaximum
λminimum = 342 / 4200
λminimum = 0.081 m

λmaximum = V/ fminimum
λmaximum = 342 / 28
λmaximum = 12.214 m
