An electron is accelrated by a unifor electric field (1000v/m) pointing vertically upward. Use energy methods to get the magnitu

de and direction of its velocity after it moves 0.10 cm form rest. Does the electron gain or lose potential energy?

Explanation:

In the given situation two forces are working. These are:

1) Electric force (acting in the downward direction) = qE

2) weight (acting in the downward direction) = mg

Therefore, work done by all the forces = change in kinetic energy

Hence, qE \times S + mg \times S = 0.5 \times mv^{2}

     1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 1000 + 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times 9.8 \times (\frac{0.10}{100}) = 0.5 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times v^{2}

It is known that the weight of electron is far less compared to electric force. Therefore, we can neglect the weight  and the above equation will be as follows.

   (1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 1000) \times (\frac{0.10}{100}) = 0.5 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times v^{2
}

         v = sqrt{\frac{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}{(0.5 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31})}

           = 592999 m/s

Since, the electron is travelling downwards it means that it looses the potential energy.

A subatomic particle X spontaneously decays into two particles, A and B, each of rest energy 1.40 × 10^2 MeV. The particles fly
adoni [48]

Answer:

E = 389 MeV

Explanation:

The total energy of particle A, will be equal to the sum of rest mass energy and relative energy of particle A. Therefore,

Total Energy of A = E = Rest Mass Energy + Relative Energy

Using Einstein's Equation: E = mc²

E = m₀c² + mc²

From Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity, we know that:

m = m₀/[√(1-v²/c²)]

Therefore,

E = m₀c² + m₀c²/[√(1-v²/c²)]

E = m₀c²[1 + 1/√(1-v²/c²)]

where,

m₀c² = rest mass energy = 140 MeV

v = relative speed = 0.827 c

Therefore,

E = (140 MeV)[1 + 1/√(1 - (0.827c)²/c²)]

E = (140 MeV)(2.78)

<u>E = 389 MeV</u>

You compress a spring by a distance of 0.2 m. The spring has a spring constant of 37 N/m. When you release the spring, it snaps
Serggg [28]
At that point it is no longer trying to uncompress nor is it trying to stretch.  This is the same thing as a pendulum at the bottom of its swing, no longer falling but not yet rising against gravity.  Thus the kinetic energy there is the same as the potential energy when it is compressed.  The energy of compression is
\frac{1}{2}k x^{2}
This gives E=0.5(37)(0.2)²=0.74J
This is the same as the kinetic energy when it is at natural length

a circuit contains 2 ohm and 4 ohm resistors connected in parallel, find the total resistance &amp; the amount of current in eac
Lynna [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Resistance

R = R1 * R2 / (R1 + R2)

R1 = 2

R2 = 4

R = 2*4 / (2 + 4)

R = 8 / 6

R = 1.3333

Current R1

R1 = 2 ohms

V = 12 volts

I = ?

V = I * R

12  = I * 2

12/2 = I

I = 6 amperes.

Current R2

V = 12 volts

R = 4 ohms

I = ?

V = I * R

12 = I * 4

12/4 = I

I = 3 amps

an electric device is plugged into a 110v wall socket. if the device consumes 500 w of power, what is the resistance of the devi
andreev551 [17]

Answer: R=24.2Ω

Explanation: <u>Power</u> is rate of work being done in an electric circuit. It relates to voltage, current and resistance through the following formulas:

P=V.i

P=R.i²

P=\frac{V^{2}}{R}

The resistance of the system is:

P=\frac{V^{2}}{R}

R=\frac{V^{2}}{P}

R=\frac{110^{2}}{500}

R = 24.2Ω

<u>For the device, resistance is 24.2Ω.</u>
