An electron is released from rest at the negative plate of a parallel plate capacitor and accelerates to the positive plate (see

the drawing). The plates are separated by a distance of 1.7 cm, and the electric field within the capacitor has a magnitude of 2.9 x 106 V/m. What is the kinetic energy of the electron just as it reaches the positive plate?

Answer:

(7.90 × 10⁻¹⁵) J

Explanation:

The electric force exerted on the elecrron by rhe electric field is given by

F = qE

where |q| = charge on the particle = (1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹) C

E = magnitude of the electric field = (2.9 × 10⁶) V/m or N/C

F = 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ × 2.9 × 10⁶ = (4.646 × 10⁻¹³) N

From Newton's first law of motion relation, we can obtain the acceleration this force confers on the electron

F = ma

m = mass of the electron = (9.11 × 10⁻³¹) kg

a = acceleration of the electron caused by the electric force = ?

(4.646 × 10⁻¹³) = (9.11 × 10⁻³¹) × a

a = (4.646 × 10⁻¹³)/(9.11 × 10⁻³¹)

a = (5.10 × 10¹⁷) m/s²

Now, using the equations of motion, we can obtain the velocity with which the electron reaches the positive plate

u = initial velocity of the electron = 0 m/s (since the electron was initially at rest)

v = final velocity of the electron = ?

a = acceleration of the electron = (5.10 × 10¹⁷) m/s²

y = distance covered by the electron = 1.7 cm = 0.017 m

v² = u² + 2ay

v² = 0² + 2(5.10 × 10¹⁷)(0.017)

v² = (1.734 × 10¹⁶)

v = 131,677,182.5 m/s = (1.32 × 10⁸) m/s

Kinetic energy with which the electron hits the positive plate = (1/2)(m)(v²) = (1/2)(9.11 × 10⁻³¹)(1.32 × 10⁸)² = (7.90 × 10⁻¹⁵) J

Hope this Helps!!!

vector ????⃗ has a magnitude of 17.9 and its direction is 80∘ counter‑clockwise from the x- axis. what are the x- and y- compone
Reika [66]

We have vector (17.9*cos80^{0},17.9*sin80^{0})

Therefore,

x component = 17.9 * cos80 degree = 3.108

y component = 17.9 * sin80 degrees = 17.628

<h3>What is a vector?</h3>

An object with both magnitude and direction is referred to be a vector. A vector can be visualized geometrically as a directed line segment, with an arrow pointing in the direction and a length equal to the magnitude of the vector. The vector points in a direction from its tail to its head.

If the magnitude and direction of two vectors match, they are the same vector. This shows that if we move a vector to a different location without rotating it, the final vector will be the same as the initial vector. The vectors that denote force and velocity are two examples. The direction of force and velocity are both fixed. The size of the vector would represent the force's strength or the velocity's corresponding speed.

How would playing a game of soccer, baseball, or basketball be different if inertia didn't exist?
BigorU [14]
Inertia is what keeps everything moving, so if it didn't exist, the balls wouldn't keep going when they are kicked, or thrown.

What are the difference between conductor and insulator? ​
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

  • A conductor allows energy e.g. electric charge or heat to pass through it easily. While an insulator does not let electric current or heat to travel through it.
  • Insulators have strong molecular bonds. While molecular bonds are very weak in conductors.
  • Insulators have very low conductivity. While in conductors, it is very high.
  • Insulators have a very high resistance and therefore the electrons are held together very firmly. The conductors, on the other hand, have a very low resistance.
  • Insulators do not have any electric field, neither inside nor on the surface. While in conductors, it is found on the surface and continues to be zero in the inner part of the conductor.

A large grinding wheel in the shape of a solid cylinder of radius 0.330 m is free to rotate on a frictionless, vertical axle. a
USPshnik [31]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

Let I = the moment of inertia of the wheel.
α = 0.81 rad/s², the angular acceleration
r = 0.33 m, the radius of the weel
F = 260 N, the applied tangential force

The applied torque is
T = F*r
   = (260 N)*(0.33 m)
   = 85.8 N-m

By definition,
T = I*α

Therefore,
I = T/α
  = (85.8 N-m)/(0.81 rad/s²)
  = 105.93 kg-m²

Answer: 105.93 kg-m²
