Two large aluminum plates are separated by a distance of 2.0 cm and are held at a potential difference of 170 V. An electron ent

ers the region between them at a speed of 2.9 x 10^5 m/s by passing through a small hole in the negative plate and continues moving toward the positive plate. Assume the electric field between the plates is uniform.
(a) what is the electron's speed, in meters per second, when it is 0.1 cm from the negative plate?

Answer:

Explanation:

Electric field between plates

V / d

= 170 / ( 2 x 10⁻² )

= 8500 N/C

Force on electron in this field

= 8500 x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹

= 13600 x 10⁻¹⁹ N

Acceleration

= 13600 x 10⁻¹⁹ / 9.1 x 10⁻³¹

a = 1494.5 x 10¹² m /s²

s = .1 x 10⁻² m

v² = u² + 2as

=  (2.9x 10⁵)²+ 2 x 1494.5 x 10¹² x .1 x 10⁻²

= 8.41 x 10¹⁰ + 299 x 10¹⁰

= (8.41 + 299 ) x 10¹⁰

v = 17.53  x 10⁵ m /s

The radius of earth is 6,370,000 m. Express this measurement in km in scientific notation with the correct number of significant
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

6.37 x 10³ Km

Explanation:

given,

Radius of earth = 6,370,000 m

we know,

1 km = 1000 m

1 m = 0.001 Km

6,370,000 m =  6,370,000 x 0.001

                       = 6,370 Km

The number 6,370 has 3 significant figure.

To transform this to an exponential number, it is necessary to move the decimal to the left so there is only one digit in front of the decimal point.

Representing the given number in scientific notation

      = 6.37 x 10³ Km

A ball is thrown up into the air with an initial velocity of 18 m/s. A) How high does the ball go? B) Calculate the time needed
kaheart [24]

Answer:

B) t = 1.83 [s]

A) y = 16.51 [m]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the following equation of kinematics.

v_{f} =v_{o} -g*t

where:

Vf = final velocity = 0

Vo = initial velocity = 18 [m/s]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

t = time [s]

Note: the negative sign in the above equation means that the acceleration of gravity is acting in the opposite direction to the motion.

A) The maximum height is reached when the final velocity of the ball is zero.

0 = 18 - (9.81*t)

9.81*t = 18

t = 18/9.81

t = 1.83 [s], we found the answer for B.

Now using the following equation.

y = y_{o} + v_{o}*t - 0.5*g*t^{2}\\

where:

y = elevation [m]

Yo = initial elevation = 0

y = 18*(1.83) - 0.5*9.81*(1.83)²

y = 16.51 [m]

. A person weighing 750 N gets on an elevator.
Kobotan [32]

 

F = 750 N  (Force)

d = 10 m  (displacement )

t = 25 s   (time)

L = ?   (Mechanical work )  =  (Energy)

P = ?   (Power)

Solve:

L = F × d = 750 × 10 = 7500 Joules

P = L / t = 7500 / 25 = 300 Watts

On a frictionless horizontal air table, puck A (with mass 0.254 kg ) is moving toward puck B (with mass 0.367 kg ), which is ini
irinina [24]

Answer:

v_a=0.8176 m/s

\Delta K=0.07969 J - 0.0849 J = -0.00521 J

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of linear momentum, the total momentum of both pucks won't be changed regardless of their interaction if no external forces are acting on the system.

Being m_a and m_b the masses of pucks a and b respectively, the initial momentum of the system is

M_1=m_av_a+m_bv_b

Since b is initially at rest

M_1=m_av_a

After the collision and being v'_a and v'_b the respective velocities, the total momentum is

M_2=m_av'_a+m_bv'_b

Both momentums are equal, thus

m_av_a=m_av'_a+m_bv'_b

Solving for v_a

v_a=\frac{m_av'_a+m_bv'_b}{m_a}

v_a=\frac{0.254Kg\times (-0.123 m/s)+0.367Kg (0.651m/s)}{0.254Kg}

v_a=0.8176 m/s

The initial kinetic energy can be found as (provided puck b is at rest)

K_1=\frac{1}{2}m_av_a^2

K_1=\frac{1}{2}(0.254Kg) (0.8176m/s)^2=0.0849 J

The final kinetic energy is

K_2=\frac{1}{2}m_av_a'^2+\frac{1}{2}m_bv_b'^2

K_2=\frac{1}{2}0.254Kg (-0.123m/s)^2+\frac{1}{2}0.367Kg (0.651m/s)^2=0.07969 J

The change of kinetic energy is

\Delta K=0.07969 J - 0.0849 J = -0.00521 J
