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!!!

<em>Anything</em> that's dropped through air is somewhat affected by air resistance.  But, out of that list, the leaf and the balloon are the items that will be affected by air resistance enough so that you can plainly see it.

If you spend some time thinking about it, you can kind of understand why airplane wings and boat propellers are shaped more like leafs and balloons than like bricks and rocks.
