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.

Differentiate between angular displacement and linear displacement.​
Sauron [17]

Answer:

The angular displacement is not a length (not measured in meters or feet), so an angular displacement is different than a linear displacement. ... As the object rotates through the angular displacement phi, the point on the edge of the disk moves distance sa along a circular path.

alexira [117]

Complete question is;

A microwave oven operates at a frequency of 2400 MHz. The height of the oven cavity is 25 cm and the base measures 30 cm by 30 cm. Assume that microwave energy is generated uniformly on the upper surface of the cavity and propagates directly

downward toward the base. The base is lined with a material that completely absorbs microwave energy. The total microwave energy content of the cavity is 0.50 mJ.

Answer:

Power ≈ 600,000 W

Explanation:

We are given;

Frequency; f = 2400 Hz

height of the oven cavity; h = 25 cm = 0.25 m

base area; A = 30 cm by 30 cm = 0.3m × 0.3m = 0.09 m²

total microwave energy content of the cavity; E = 0.50 mJ = 0.5 × 10^(-3) J

We want to find the power output and we know that formula for power is;

P = workdone/time taken

Formula for time here is;

t = h/c

Where c is speed of light = 3 × 10^(8) m/s

Thus;

t = 0.25/(3 × 10^(8))

t = 8.333 × 10^(-10) s

Thus;

Power = (0.5 × 10^(-3))/(8.333 × 10^(-10))

Power ≈ 600,000 W

A soccer ball is traveling at a velocity of 50 m/s. The kinetic energy of the ball is 500 J. What is the mass of the soccer ball
Savatey [412]
A soccer ball is traveling at a velocity of 50 m/s. The kinetic energy of the ball is 500 J.The mass of the soccer ball is 0.4 kgs. This answer is derived from the formula K=1/2 MV^2.So velocity and kinetic energy are given from that mass of the ball is calculated.By substituting the values 500=1/2*M*50*50 which gives M=0.4 Kgs.<span>

The mass of the particles that a river can transport is proportional to the sixth power of the speed of the river. A certain riv
kow [346]

Answer:

1.122 m/s

Explanation:

So usually a river with a speed of 1 meters per second can transport particle that weighs:

1^6 = 1 kg

If the particle is twice as massive as usual, then its weights would be 1 * 2 = 2kg

This means the river must be flowing at a speed of

2^{\frac{1}{6}} = 1.122 m/s
