Answer:
i) E = 269 [MJ] ii)v = 116 [m/s]
Explanation:
This is a problem that encompasses the work and principle of energy conservation.
In this way, we establish the equation for the principle of conservation and energy.
i)
At that point the speed 1 is equal to zero, since the maximum height achieved was 2.5 [km]. So this calculated work corresponds to the energy of the rocket.
Er = 269*10^6[J]
ii ) With the energy calculated at the previous point, we can calculate the speed developed.
Answer:
Explanation:
The speed increased from 2.0 * 10^7 m/s to 4.0 * 10^7 m/s over a 1.2 cm distance.
Let us find the acceleration:
Electric force is given as the product of charge and electric field strength:
F = qE
where q = electric charge
E = Electric field strength
Force is generally given as:
F = ma
where m = mass
a = acceleration
Equating both:
ma = qE
E = ma / q
For an electron:
m = 9.11 × 10^{-31} kg
q = 1.602 × 10^{-19} C
Therefore, the electric field strength of the electron is:
