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

A ball rolls off the edge of a table with a fairly large horizontal velocity. Which of the following statements are true? (Selec
Degger [83]

Answer:

A.The vertical velocity is constantly increasing as the ball falls.

B.The horizontal velocity does not noticeably change as the ball falls.

G.The horizontal velocity does not affect how long it will take the ball to fall to the floor.

H.The velocity vector of the ball changes as it travels through the air.

Explanation:

As the ball is projected horizontally so here the vertical component of the velocity is zero

So the time to reach the ground is given as

H = \frac{1}{2} gt^2

so we will have

t = \sqrt{\frac{2H}{g}}

so this is the same time as the ball is dropped from H height

Since there is no force in horizontal direction so its horizontal velocity will always remain constant while vertical velocity will change at constant rate which is equal to acceleration due to gravity.

So overall the velocity vector will change due to net acceleration g

What conventions are used in SI to indicate units
klemol [59]

Answer:

<u>Conventions used in SI to indicate units are as follows:</u>

  • Only singular form of units are used. for example: use kg and not kgs.
  • Do not use full stop after the abbreviations of any unit. for example: do not use kg. or cm.
  • Use one space between last numeric digit and SI unit. for example: 10 cm, 9 km.
  • Symbols and words should not be mixed. for example: use Kilogram per cubic and not kilogram/m3.
  • While writing numerals, only the symbols of the units should be written. for example: use 10 cm and not Ten cm.
  • Units named after a scientist should be written in small letters. for example: newton, henry.
  • Degree sign should not be used when the kelvin unit is used. for exmaple: use 37° and not 37°k

Achilles and the tortoise are having a race. The tortoise can run 1 mile (or whatever the Hellenic equivalent of this would be)
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

Surely Achilles will catch the Tortoise, in 400 seconds

Explanation:

The problem itself reduces the interval of time many times, almost reaching zero. However, if we assume the interval constant, then it is clear that in two hours Achilles already has surpassed the Tortoise (20 miles while the Tortoise only 3).

To calculate the time, we use kinematic expression for constant speed:

x_{final}=x_{initial}+t_{tor}v_{tor}=1+t_{tor}\\x_{final}=x_{initial}+t_{ach}v_{ach}=10t_{ach}

The moment that Achilles catch the tortoise is found by setting the same final position for both (and same time as well, since both start at the same time):

1+t=10t\\t=1/9 hour=0.11 hours
