energetic electrically charged particles (mostly electrons) accelerate along the magnetic field lines into the upper atmosphere, where they collide with gas atoms, causing the atoms to give off light.

An electron has a constant acceleration of +3.3 m/s2. at a certain instant its velocity is +8.6 m/s. what is its velocity (a) 2.

Citrus2011 [14]

Hello!

The velocity function is:

$\mathsf{V = V_0 + at}\\ \\ \mathsf{V = 8.6 +3.3t}$

a) 2.3 s earlier, we can make t = -2.3 s, in relation to our initial time:

$\mathsf{V = 8.6 + 3.3\cdot(-2.3)}\\ \\ \mathsf{V = 8.8-7.59}\\ \\ \boxed{\mathsf{V = 1.21 \ m/s}}$

b) Now we can make t = 2.3 s:

$\mathsf{V = 8.6 + 3.3\cdot2.3}\\ \\ \mathsf{V = 8.6 + 7.59}\\ \\ \boxed{\mathsf{V = 15.59 \ m/s}}$

At what time after being ejected is the boulder moving at a speed 20.7 m/s upward?

Svetlanka [38]

The time after being ejected is the boulder moving at a speed 20.7 m/s upward is 2.0204 s.

<h3>What is the time after being ejected is the boulder moving at a speed 20.7 m/s upward?</h3>

The motion of the boulder is a uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration

a = g = -9.8 $$$m / s^2$

downward (acceleration due to gravity).

By using Suvat equation:

v = u + at

where: v is the velocity at time t

u = 40.0 m/s is the initial velocity

a = g = -9.8 $$$m/s^2$ is the acceleration

To find the time t at which the velocity is v = 20.7 m/s

Therefore,

$$t=\frac{v-u}{a}=\frac{20.7-40}{-9.8}=2.0204 \mathrm{~s}$

The time after being ejected is the boulder moving at a speed 20.7 m/s upward is 2.0204 s.

The complete question is:

A large boulder is ejected vertically upward from a volcano with an initial speed of 40.0 m/s. Ignore air resistance. At what time after being ejected is the boulder moving at 20.7 m/s upward?
