1. What is the weight of this objects?

Weight is simply the product of mass and gravitational acceleration. Therefore the weight is:

w = 20 kg * 9.81 m/s^2

w = 196.2 kg m/s^2 = 196.2 N

 

2. After 5 seconds, how has the object fallen and what is its speed at this instant?

We can use the formula:

<span>y = v0 t  + 0.5 g t^2</span>

v = v0 + g t

where v0 = 0 since the object starts from rest, y is the distance it fell, t is time

y = 0 + 0.5 * 9.81 * 5^2 = 122.625 m

<span>v = 0 + 9.81 * 5 = 49.05 m/s</span>

valkas [14]

Answer:

Final velocity of electron, v=6.45\times 10^5\ m/s    

Explanation:

It is given that,

Electric field, E = 1.55 N/C

Initial velocity at point A, u=4.52\times 10^5\ m/s

We need to find the speed of the electron when it reaches point B which is a distance of 0.395 m east of point A. It can be calculated using third equation of motion as :

v^2=u^2+2as........(1)

a is the acceleration, a=\dfrac{F}{m}

We know that electric force, F = qE

a=\dfrac{qE}{m}

Use above equation in equation (1) as:

v^2=u^2+\dfrac{2qEs}{m}

v^2=(4.52\times 10^5\ m/s)^2+2\times \dfrac{1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C\times 1.55\ N/C}{9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg}\times 0.395\ m

v = 647302.09 m/s

or

v=6.45\times 10^5\ m/s

So, the final velocity of the electron when it reaches point B is 6.45\times 10^5\ m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
