Answer:

(a) Acceleration of positron is 6.03 x 10¹³ m/s²

(b) Speed of positron after 8.70 x 10⁻⁹ s is 5.24 x 10⁵ m/s

Explanation:

Given :

Constant electric field, E = 343 N/C

Mass of positron, m = 9.1 x 10⁻³¹ kg

Charge of positron, q = +e = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

(a) Coulomb force on the positron is determine by the relation :

F = q x E    ....(1)

But, force is also equals to product of mass and acceleration. So,

F = ma  .....(2)

Here a is acceleration.

From equation (1) and (2).

m x a = q x E

a=\frac{qE}{m}

Substitute the values of q, E and m in the above equation.

a=\frac{1.6\times10^{-19}\times 343}{9.1\times10^{-31} }

a = 6.03 x 10¹³ m/s²

(b) Initially, the positron is at rest, so its initial speed is zero.

The equation of motion for positron is :

v = u + at

Here v is final speed, u is initial speed and t is time.

Since, u is zero, so the equation becomes :

v = at

Substitute 8.70 x 10⁻⁹ s for t and 6.03 x 10¹³ m/s² for a in the above equation.

v = 6.03 x 10¹³ x 8.70 x 10⁻⁹ m/s

v = 5.24 x 10⁵ m/s

Three identical resistors are connected in parallel to a battery. If the current of 12. A flows from the battery, how much curre
Doss [256]

Answer:

4 A

Explanation:

We are given that

R_1=R_2=R_3=4\Omega

I=12 A

We have to find the current flowing through each resistor.

We know that in parallel combination current flowing through different resistors are different and potential difference across each resistor is same.

Formula :

\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3}

Using the formula

\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{3}{4}

R=\frac{4}{3}\Omega

V=IR

Substitute the values

V=12\times \frac{4}{3}=16 V

I_1=\frac{V}{R_1}=\frac{16}{4}=4 A

I_1=I_2=I_3=4 A

Hence, current flows through any one of the resistors is 4 A.

State the success of j j Thompson model theory​
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

Thomson's atomic model was successful in explaining the overall neutrality of the atom. However, its propositions were not consistent with the results of later experiments. In 1906, J. J. Thomson was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics for his theories and experiments on electricity conduction by gases.

Summary. J.J. Thomson's experiments with cathode ray tubes showed that all atoms contain tiny negatively charged subatomic particles or electrons. Thomson proposed the plum pudding model of the atom, which had negatively-charged electrons embedded within a positively-charged "soup."

Describe the initial horizontal and vertical velocity of a horizontally launched projectile on Earth, as well as what happens to
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

To explain this, let's consider a tennis ball being launched from the top of a very high building.

Now, if the tennis ball is launched horizontally without any upward angle but with an initial velocity of 10 m/s. In this motion, If there is no gravity, the tennis ball would continue in motion at that same speed of 10 m/s in the horizontal direction. However, in reality, gravity causes the tennis ball to accelerate downwards at a rate of 9.8 m/s for every second. This implies that the vertical velocity component is changing at the rate of 9.8 m/s every second.

Thus, after 1 second, horizontal velocity component will remain 10 m/s and vertical component will be 9.8 m/s × 1 = 9.8 m/s downwards.

Also, after 2 seconds, the vertical velocity component will remain 10 m/s, however the vertical component will now be 9.8 × 2 = 19.6 m/s downwards.

Same procedure is repeated as t increases by 1 second.

During an experiment of momentum, trolley, X, of mass (2.34 ± 0.01) kg is moving away from another trolley, Y, of mass (2.561 ±
Alla [95]

Answer:

P = 1 (14,045 ± 0.03 )  k gm/s

Explanation:

In this exercise we are asked about the uncertainty of the momentum of the two carriages

            Δ (Pₓ / Py) =?

 Let's start by finding the momentum of each vehicle

car X

        Pₓ = m vₓ

        Pₓ = 2.34 2.5

        Pₓ = 5.85 kg m

car Y

        Py = 2,561 3.2

        Py = 8,195 kgm

How do we calculate the absolute uncertainty at the two moments?

          ΔPₓ = m Δv + v Δm

          ΔPₓ = 2.34 0.01 + 2.561 0.01

          ΔPₓ = 0.05 kg m

         ΔP_{y} = m Δv + v Δm

         ΔP_{y} = 2,561 0.01+ 3.2 0.001

         ΔP_{y} = 0.03 kg m

now we have the uncertainty of each moment

          P = Pₓ / P_{y}

          ΔP = ΔPₓ/P_{y} + Pₓ ΔP_{y} / P_{y}²

          ΔP = 8,195 0.05 + 5.85 0.03 / 8,195²

          ΔP = 0.006 + 0.0026

          ΔP = 0.009 kg m

The result is

           P = 14,045 ± 0.039 = (14,045 ± 0.03 )  k gm/s
