Consider an electron placed in a region of space in which the electric potential spatially. The electron is placed at a point wh

ere the potential is -1000V relative to ground, and it is observed to accelerate to a point where the potential is -500V relative to ground. How fast is the electron moving at that point, assuming nothing else impacts the electron's motion

Answer:

1.33\cdot 10^7 m/s

Explanation:

For a charged particle accelerated by an electric field, the kinetic energy gained by the particle is equal to the decrease in electric potential energy of the particle; therefore:

K_f-K_i = -q\Delta V

where

K_f is the final kinetic energy

K_i is the initial kinetic energy

q is the charge of the particle

\Delta V is the potential difference

In this problem,

q=-1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C is the charge of the electron

\Delta V=-500 V-(-1000 V)=500 V

The electron starts from rest, so its initial kinetic energy is

K_i=0

Therefore,

K_f=-(-1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(500)=8\cdot 10^{-17}J

We can write the final kinetic energy of the electron as

K_f=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m=9.11\cdot 10^{-31} kg is the electron mass

v is the final speed

And solving for v,

v=\sqrt{\frac{2K_f}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(8\cdot 10^{-17})}{9.11\cdot 10^{-31}}}=1.33\cdot 10^7 m/s

Synthesize Information In a multistep process, cells can combine the reactants glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2) to form the pro
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

In one of the process, energy is built up from scratch, in the other one, energy is liberated for use by an organism or body.

The first process deals with a metabolic reaction in which energy is liberated:

         C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂  → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy

In the above process, energy is liberated when glucose combines with oxygen. The waste products are carbon dioxide and water. This process liberates heat energy which can be used to do work.

   In the reverse process:

             6CO₂ + 6H₂O   →  C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

    This process stores energy in carbon chains as chemical energy. It is this energy that is released in the first process.

Therefore, we can see that the first process liberates energy and the reverse process stores energy.

If 200.4g of water is mixed with 101.42g of salt the mass of the final solution would be reported as
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

301.8 g

Explanation:

We prepare a solution with 200.4 g of water (solvent) and 101.42 g of salt (solute). The mass of the solution is equal to the sum of the mass of the solvent and the mass of the solute.

m(solution) = m(solute) + m(solvent)

m(solution) = 200.4 g + 101.42 g

m(solution) = 301.8 g (we round-off to one decimal according to the significant figures rules)
