An electron in a cathode-ray beam passes between 2.5cm long parallel-plate electrodes that are 6.0mm apart. A 2.1mT, 2.5-cm-wide

magnetic field isperpendicular to the electric field between the plates. The electron passes through the electrodes without being deflected if the potential difference between the plates is 700V.
Part A:What is the electron's speed?(Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.)

Part B: If the potential difference between the plates is set to zero, what is the electron's radius of curvature in the magnetic field?(Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.)

Answer:

(a). The speed of electron is 1.56\times10^{7}\ m/s.

(b). The radius of electron is 4.2\ cm

Explanation:

Given that,

Length = 2.5 cm

Distance = 6.0 mm

Magnetic field = 2.1 T

Potential difference = 700 V

(a). We need to calculate the electron's speed

Using formula of speed

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2eV}{m}}

Put the value into the formula

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times1.6\times10^{-19}\times700}{9.1\times10^{-31}}}

v=15689290.81\ m/s

v=1.56\times10^{7}\ m/s

(b). We need to calculate the radius of electron

Using formula of centripetal force

\dfrac{mv^2}{r}=qvB

r=\dfrac{mv}{qB}

Where,

m = mass of electron

v = speed of electron

r = radius

q = charge of electron

B = magnetic field

Put the value into the formula

r=\dfrac{9.1\times10^{-31}\times1.56\times10^{7}}{1.6\times10^{-19}\times2.1\times10^{-3}}

r=0.042\ m

r=4.2\ cm

Hence, (a). The speed of electron is 1.56\times10^{7}\ m/s.

(b). The radius of electron is 4.2 cm

Use Newton's laws to explain why a falling object dropped from a 57m tower accelerates initially but then reaches constant veloc
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

At the point of dropping the object, by Newton's first law due to gravitational force F_g = m × g, accelerates

By Newton's Second law the object reaches impacts on the air with the gravitational force resulting in changing momentum of m×(Final Velocity - Initial Velocity)

As the velocity increases, the rate of change of momentum becomes equivalent to the gravitational force and by Newton's third law, the action action and reaction are equal and opposite hence they cancel each other out

The body then moves at a constant uniform motion down according to Newton's first law

Explanation:

At the point the object of mass, m, is dropped from the height of the tower, the only force acting on the object is the gravitational force such that the object has an acceleration which is the acceleration due to gravity, g, and the gravitational force is therefore = m × g

As the speed of the object increases while the object is falling with the gravitational acceleration the rate at which the object cuts through layers of air which (by Newton's first law of motion, are at rest ) has some buoyancy effect also increases therefore, the object is constantly increasingly changing the momentum of the air which by Newton's second law results, at an high enough velocity, and by Newton's third law, in a force equal to the applied gravitational force

Therefore, the force of the air drag becomes equal to the gravitational force, cancelling each other out and the object then moves according to Newton;s first law, in uniform motion of a constant speed while still falling down.

A 13.4-mH inductor carries a current i = <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=I_%7Bmax%7D" id="TexFormula1" title="I_{max}" alt="I_
Digiron [165]

The voltage across an inductor ' L ' is

V = L · dI/dt .

I(t) = I(max) sin(ωt)

dI/dt = I(max) ω cos(ωt)

V = L · ω · I(max) cos(ωt)

L = 1.34 x 10⁻² H

ω = 2π · 60 = 377 /sec

I(max) = 4.80 A

V = L · ω · I(max) cos(ωt)

V = (1.34 x 10⁻² H) · (377 / sec) · (4.8 A) · cos(377 t)

<em>V = 24.25 cos(377 t)</em>

V is an AC voltage with peak value of 24.25 volts and frequency = 60 Hz.

Strong evidence for the existence of dark matter comes from observations of
adoni [48]

Answer:

NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and other telescopes such as the Hubble telescope.

Explanation:

Dark matter and normal matter have been wrenched apart by the tremendous collision of two large clusters of galaxies.

The above observations have provided the strongest evidence yet that most of the matter in the universe is dark.
