Two electrodes, separated by a distance d, in a vacuum are maintained at a constant potential difference. An electron, accelerat

ed from one electrode to the other, gains kinetic energy Ek. The distance between the electrodes is now changed to d. What is the gain in kinetic energy of an electron that is accelerated from one electrode to the other?

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that, the distance between the electrode is d.

The electron kinetic energy is Ek when the electrode are at distance "d" apart.

So, we want to find the K.E when that are at d/3 distance apart.

K.E = ½mv²

Note: the mass doesn't change, it is only the velocity that change.

Also,

K.E = Work done by the electron

K.E = F × d

K.E = W = ma × d

Let assume that if is constant acceleration

Then, m and a is constant,

Then,

K.E is directly proportional to d

So, as d increase K.E increase and as d decreases K.E decreases.

So,

K.E_1 / d_1 = K.E_2 / d_2

K.E_1 = E_k

d_1 = d

d_2 = d/3

K.E_2 = K.E_1 / d_1 × d_2

K.E_2 = E_k × ⅓d / d

Then,

K.E_2 = ⅓E_k

So, the new kinetic energy is one third of the E_k

A cyclist going downhill is accelerating at 1.2 m/s2. If the final velocity of the cyclist is 16 m/s after 10 seconds, what is t
Blababa [14]

Answer:

Initial Velocity is 4 m/s

Explanation:

What is acceleration?

It is the change in velocity with respect to time, or the rate of change of velocity.

We can write this as:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{t}

Where

a is the acceleration

v is velocity

t is time

\Delta  is "change in"

For this problem , we are given

a = 1.2

t = 10

Putting into formula, we get:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{t}\\1.2=\frac{\Delta v}{10}\\\Delta v = 1.2*10\\\Delta v = 12

So, the change in velocity is 12 m/s

The change in velocity can also be written as:

\Delta v = Final  \ Velocity - Initial \ Velocity

It is given Final Velocity = 16, so we put it into formula and find Initial Velocity. Shown Below:

\Delta v = Final  \ Velocity - Initial \ Velocity\\12=16-Initial \ Velocity\\Initial \ Velocity = 16 - 12 = 4

hence,

Initial Velocity is 4 m/s

den301095 [7]

Answer:

the oscillations of the electrons must be in the 10⁸ Hz = 100 MHz range

Explanation:

The speed of a wave of radio, television, light, heat, all are manifestations of electromagnetic waves that are oscillations of electric and magnetic fields that support each other, the speed of all these waves is the same and the vacuum is equal to c = 3 108 m / s

All waves have a relationship between the speed of the wave, its frequency and wavelength

          c = λ f

          f = c /λ

for this case lam = 1 m

          f = 3 10⁸/1

          f = 3 10⁸ Hz

the oscillations of the electrons must be in the MHz range

It should be clarified that the speed of light in air is a little lower

          n = c / v

          v = c / n

the refractive index of vacuum is n = 1 and the refractive index of air is n = 1.000002

It is easier to see clothes with pointed needle than a blunt one​
topjm [15]

Answer:

Explanation:

It is easier to see clothes with pointed needle than a blunt one because pressure exerted is more in a pointed needle as it occupies less space compared to blunt needle, A blunt has more surface area so the pressure exerted will less as compared to a pointed needle.

Un móvil se desplaza con movimiento uniforme con una rapidez de 36 Km/h ¿Cuál es la distancia recorrida al cabo de 0,5 horas?
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

Distancia = 17,5 kilómetros.

Explanation:

Dados los siguientes datos;

Velocidad = 36 km/h

Tiempo = 0.5 horas

Para encontrar la distancia recorrida;

Distancia = velocidad * tiempo

Distancia = 35 * 0.5

Distancia = 17,5 kilómetros.

Por tanto, la distancia recorrida por el automóvil es de 17,5 kilómetros.
