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

What happens to Earth’s plates during an earthquake?
vazorg [7]

A) Claim 1: Plates move, which can cause earthquakes.

Explanation:

The Plate Tectonic Theory proves the claim of  plate move, causing earthquakes.

This theory states that the earth’s crust along with the uppermost mantle is formed of several thin but large surfaced rigid patch work of plate-like structures called tectonic plates.  

There are about 15 large slabs on the earth’s outer surface and constitutes the lithosphere. Lithosphere of the earth is represented by the oceanic and continental crust layer and the uppermost mantle layer.

These plates move or slide relative with each other. These plates form divergent, convergent, or transform boundaries. Slips or faults along these boundaries forms subduction zones leading to great stress. This prevents normal gliding motion resulting in earthquakes.

The speed of the proton when it reaches point
romanna [79]
1) An electron is moving east in a uniform electric field of 1.53N/C directed to the west. At point A, the velocity of the electron is 4.51�105m/s pointed toward the east. What is the speed of the electron when it reaches point B, which is a distance of 0.400m east of point A? 2) A proton is moving in the uniform electric field of part A. At point A, the velocity
