Answer:

(a) 1000 N/C

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of electron, K = 1.6 x 10^-17 J

distance, d = 10 cm = 0.1 m

Let the potential difference is V and the electric field is E.

(a) The relation between the kinetic energy and the potential difference is

K = e V

V = K / e

Where, e be the electronic charge = 1.6 x 10^-19 C

V = \frac{1.6\times 10^{-17}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}

V = 100 V

The relation between the electric field and the potential difference is given by

V = E x d

100 = E x 0.1

E = 1000 N/C

(b) The force acting on the electron, F = q E

where q be the charge on electron

So, F = -e x E

It means the direction of electric field and the force are both opposite to each other.

The direction of electric field and the force on electron is shown in the diagram.

Viefleur [7K]
According to the Law of Conservation of Energy, energy is neither created nor destroyed. They are just transferred from one system to another. To obey this law, the energy of the substances inside the container must be equal to the substance added to it. The energy is in the form of heat. There can be two types of heat energy: latent heat and sensible heat. Sensible heat is energy added or removed when a substance changes in temperature. Latent heat is the energy added or removed at a constant temperature during a phase change. Since there is no mention of phase change, we assume the heat involved here is sensible heat. The equation for sensible heat is:

H = mCpΔT
where
m is the mass of the substance
Cp is the specific heat of a certain type of material or substance
ΔT is the change in temperature.

So the law of conservation of heat tells that:

Sensible heat of Z + Sensible heat of container = Sensible heat of X

Since we have no idea what these substances are, there is no way of knowing the Cp. We can't proceed with the calculations. So, we can only assume that in the duration of 15 minutes, the whole system achieves equilibrium. Therefore, the equilibrium temperature of the system is equal to 32°C. The answer is C.

Energy of a wave:
E = nhc/λ
3000 = (n x 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ x 3 x 10⁸)/(510 x 10⁻⁹)
n = 7.69 x 10 ²¹ photons per second per meter²
2.70 cm² = 2.70/10,000 m²
= 2.7 x 10⁻⁴
Photons per second = 7.69 x 10 ²¹ x 2.7 x 10⁻⁴
= 2.08 x 10¹⁸ photons per second

A trick shot archer shoots an arrow with a velocity of 30.0 m/s at an angle of 20.0 degrees with respect to the horizontal. An a
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

u'=10.259\ m.s^{-1} is the initial velocity of tossing the apple.

the apple should be tossed after \Delta t=0.0173\ s

Explanation:

Given:

  • velocity of arrow in projectile, v=30\ m.s^{-1}
  • angle of projectile from the horizontal, \theta=20^{\circ}
  • distance of the point of tossing up of an apple, d=30\ m

<u>Now the horizontal component of velocity:</u>

v_x=v\ cos\ \theta

v_x=30\times cos\ 20^{\circ}

v_x=28.191\ m.s^{-1}

<u>The vertical component of the velocity:</u>

v_y=v.sin\ \theta

v_y=30\times sin\ 20^{\circ}

v_y=10.261\ m.s^{-1}

<u>Time taken by the projectile to travel the distance of 30 m:</u>

t=\frac{d}{v_x}

t=\frac{30}{28.191}

t=1.0642\ s

<u>Vertical position of the projectile at this time:</u>

h=v_y.t-\frac{1}{2}g.t^2

h=10.261\times 1.0642-\frac{1}{2} \times 9.8\times 1.0642^2

h=5.3701\ m

<u>Now this height should be the maximum height of the tossed apple where its velocity becomes zero.</u>

v'^2=u'^2-2g.h

0^2=u'^2-2\times 9.8\times 5.3701

u'=10.259\ m.s^{-1} is the initial velocity of tossing the apple.

<u>Time taken to reach this height:</u>

v'=u'-g.t'

0=10.259-9.8\times t'

t'=1.0469\ s

<u>We observe that </u>t>t'<u> hence the time after the launch of the projectile after which the apple should be tossed is:</u>

\Delta t=t-t'

\Delta t=1.0642-1.0469

\Delta t=0.0173\ s
