Answer:

a) 800 keV

b)  24.996 km.

Explanation:

(a) we have

\large \Delta K.E=q\Delta V  .............(1)

where,

\large \Delta K.E = Change in kinetic energy

q = charge of an electron

\Delta V = Potential difference

also

\large E=\frac{V}{d}       .......(2)

E = electric field

d = distance traveled

Now from (1) and (2) we have,

\large \Delta K. E=qV=qEd

substituting the values in the above equation, we get

\large \Delta K. E=(1.6\times 10^{-19}C)(2\times 10^6V/m)(0.400m)(\frac{1eV}{1.6\times 10^{-19}J})(\frac{1keV}{1000eV})

\large \Delta K. E=800keV

Thus, the energy gained by the electron is <u>800 keV</u> if it is accelerated over a distance of 0.400 m.

(b) Using the equation (1), we have

\large d=\frac{\Delta K.E}{qE}

\large d=\frac{(50\times 10^9eV)}{(1.6\times 10^{-19C})(2\times 10^6V/m)}(\frac{1.6\times 10^{-19}J}{1eV})

or

\large d=2.4996\times 10^4m

or

\large d=24.996\times 10^3m=24.996km

Thus, to gain 50.0 GeV of energy the electron must be accelerated over a distance of<u> 24.996 km.</u>

Answer:

a) 800 keV

b) 25 km

Explanation:

Strength\ of\ Electric\ field=2\times 10^6\ V/m\\a)\ Potential\ Difference=Strength\ of\ Electric\ field\times Distance\\\Rightarrow Potential\ Difference=Kinetic\ Energy\ =2\times 10^6\times 0.4\\\therefore Energy=0.8\times 10^6\ eV=800\ keV\\

b)\ Potential\ difference=50\ GeV=50\times 10^9\ eV\\Distance=\frac{Potential\ difference}{electric\ field}\\\Rightarrow Distance=\frac{50\times 10^9}{2\times 10^6}\\\Rightarrow Distance=25\times 10^3\ m\\\therefore Distance=25\ km

You can. But the gravity on the moon is 1/6th the gravity on Earth. This means 300 lbs man would only weigh 50 lbs.

Dimas [21]

Answer:

Abby is standing (4.5^2 + 2.3^2)^1/2   from the far speaker

D2 = 5.05 m from the far speaker

The difference in distances from the speakers is

5.05 - 4.5 = .55 m     (Let y be wavelength, lambda)

n y = 4.5

(n + 1) y = 5.05 for the speakers to be in phase at smallest wavelength

y = .55 m          subtracting equations

f = v / y = 340 / .55 = 618 / sec     should be the smallest frequency

Kobotan [32]

<span>The person is dragging with a force of 58 lbs at an angle of 27 degrees relating to the ground. We want to use cosine function to look for the horizontal force component. And then we can compute for W = (Horizontal Force) x (Distance). We want the horizontal force component since that is the component that is parallel to the direction the cart is moving. </span><span>

(cos 27 degrees)(58 lbs) = 51.69 lbs (This is the horizontal force component.) 
W = (51.69 lbs) x (70 ft) = 3618.3 ft*lbs</span>
