To study the properties of various particles, you can accelerate the particles with electric fields. A positron is a particle wi

th the same mass as an electron but the opposite charge (+e). If a positron is accelerated by a constant electric field of magnitude 343 N/C, find the following (a) Find the acceleration of the positron. m/s2 (b) Find the positron's speed after 8.70 × 10-9 s. Assume that the positron started from rest. m/s

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

Why must one use a reference point to determine whether or not an object is in motion
GaryK [48]
Because there's no such thing as "really" moving. 
ALL motion is always relative to something.

Here's an example:
You're sitting in a comfy cushy seat, reading a book and listening
to your .mp3 player, and you're getting drowsy.  It's so warm and
comfortable, your eyes are getting so heavy, finally the book slips
out of your hand, falls into your lap, and you are fast asleep.

-- Relative to you, the book is not moving at all.
-- Relative to the seat, you are not moving at all.
-- Relative to the wall and the window, the seat is not moving at all.
-- But your seat is in a passenger airliner.  Relative to people on the
    ground, you are moving past them at almost 500 miles per hour !
-- Relative to the center of the Earth, the people on the ground are moving
   in a circle at more than 700 miles per hour.  
-- Relative to the center of the Sun, the Earth and everything on it are moving
   in a circle at about 66,700 miles per hour ! 

How fast are they REALLY moving ?
There's no such thing.
It all depends on what reference you're using.

Como se da la transferencia de energia entre los objetos?
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
El calor es la transferencia de energía de un objeto más cálido a un objeto más fresco. El calor puede transferirse de tres maneras: por conducción, por convección y por radiación. La conducción es la transferencia de energía de una molécula a otra por contacto directo.

Consider an old-fashion bicycle with a small wheel of radius 0.17 m and a large wheel of radius 0.92 m. Suppose the rider starts
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

10259.6 m

Explanation:

We are given that

Radius of small wheel,r=0.17 m

Radius of large wheel,r'=0.92 m

Initial velocity,u=0

Time,t=2.7 minutes=162 s

1 min=60 s

Velocity,v=10m/s

Time,t'=13.7 minutes=822 s

Time,t''=4.1 minutes=246 s

v=u+at

Substitute the values

10=0+162a=162a

a=\frac{10}{162}=0.0617m/s^2

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

Substitute the values

s=\frac{1}{2}(0.0617)(162)^2=809.6 m

s'=vt'=10\times 822=8220 m

a'=\frac{v}{t''}=\frac{10}{246}

s''=\frac{1}{2}a't''^2=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{10}{246}(246)^2=1230 m

Total distance traveled by rider=s+s'+s''=809.6+8220+1230=10259.6 m

kap26 [50]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply Stefan's formula

E = AσT⁴

When T = 300

I₁ = Aσ x 300⁴

When T = 400K

I₂ = Aσ x 400⁴

I₂ / I₁ = 400⁴ / 300⁴

= 256 / 81

= 3.16

I₂ = 3.16 I₁ .
