Mechanical Energy = PE + KE

PE: mgh = 200 x 9.8 x 18 = 35280

PE: 35280 Joules

KE: 1/2mv^2 = 1/2 x 200 x 16^2 = 25600

KE: 25600 Joules

ME: 35280 + 25600

ME: 60,880J

What is the electric potential energy of an electron at the negative end of the cable, relative to the positive end of the cable
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

Electric potential energy at the negative terminal: 1.92\cdot 10^{-18}J

Explanation:

When a particle with charge q travels across a potential difference \Delta V, then its change in electric potential energy is

\Delta U = q \Delta V

In this problem, we know that:

The particle is an electron, so its charge is

q=-1.60\cdot 10^{-19}C

We also know that the positive terminal is at potential

V_+=0V

While the negative terminal is at potential

V_-=-12 V

Therefore, the potential difference (final minus initial) is

\Delta V = -12-0 = -12 V

So, the change in potential energy of the electron is

\Delta U = (-1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(-12)=1.92\cdot 10^{-18}J

This means that the electron when it is at the negative terminal has 1.92\cdot 10^{-18}J of energy more than when it is at the positive terminal.

Since the potential at the positive terminal is 0, this means that the electric potential energy of the electron at the negative end is

1.92\cdot 10^{-18}J
