Answer:

b.  \Delta KE = 390 eV

Explanation:

As we know that the electric field due to infinite line charge is given as

E =\frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0 r}

here we can find potential difference between two points using the relation

\Delta V = \int E.dr

now we have

\Delta V = \int(\frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0 r}).dr

now we have

\Delta V = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0}ln(\frac{r_2}{r_1})

now plug in all values in it

\Delta V = \frac{12\times 10^{-9}}{2\pi \epsilon_0}ln(\frac{1+5}{1})

\Delta V = 216ln6 = 387 V

now we know by energy conservation

\Delta KE = q\Delta V

\Delta KE = (e)(387V) = 387 eV

An electron is released form rest in a region of space where a uniform electric field is present. Joanna claims that its kinetic
djyliett [7]

Answer:

Neither.

Explanation:

When an electron is released from rest, in an uniform electric field, it will accelerate moving in a direction opposite to the field (as the field has the direction that it would take a positive test charge, and the electron carries a negative charge).

It will move towards a point  with a higher potential, so its kinetic energy will increase, while its potential energy will decrease:

⇒ ΔK + ΔU = 0 ⇒ ΔK = -ΔU = - (-e*ΔV)

As ΔV>0, we conclude that the electric potential energy decreases while the kinetic energy increases in the same proportion, in order to energy be conserved, in absence of non-conservative forces.

How far will a 70N crate is move with 3500J of work
r-ruslan [8.4K]
Work = Force * distance
Force = 70 N
Work = 3500 J

3500 = 70d
d = 3500/70 = 50 m
