An electron travels 1.92 m in 4.47 × 10−8 s. How fast is it traveling? Answer in units of m/s.

1 answer:

6 0

Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance).

= (1.92 meters) / (4.47 x 10⁻⁸ second)

= 42,950,000 meters/second (rounded to the nearest 10,000 m/s)

That's about 96.1 million miles per hour, or about 14% of the speed of light.

A very small object with mass 8.30×10-9 kg and positive charge 6.90×10-9 C is projected directly toward a very large insulating

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

$41.4496148484\ m/s$

Explanation:

$\epsilon_0$ = Permittivity of free space = $8.85\times 10^{-12}\ F/m$

$\sigma$ = Surface charge density = $5.9\times 10^{-8}\ C/m^2$

$\Delta x$ = 0.57-0.26

q = Charge = $6.9\times 10^{-9}\ C$

m = Mass of object = $8.3\times 10^{-9}\ kg$

Electric field due to a sheet is given by

$E=\dfrac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{5.9\times 10^{-8}}{2\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}}\\\Rightarrow E=3333.33\ V/m$

Electric field is given by

$E=\dfrac{V}{d}$

Voltage is given by

$V=E\Delta x$

Kinetic energy is given by

$K=qV$

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=qE\Delta x\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2qE\Delta x}{m}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 6.9\times 10^{-9}\times 3333.33\times (0.57-0.26)}{8.3\times 10^{-9}}}\\\Rightarrow v=41.4496148484\ m/s$

The initial speed of the object is $41.4496148484\ m/s$

How much mass should be attached to a vertical ideal spring having a spring constant (force constant) of 39.5 n/m so that it wil

mrs_skeptik [129]

The frequency of a simple harmonic oscillator such as a spring-mass system is given by
$f= \frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{ \frac{k}{m} }$
where
k is the spring constant
m is the mass attached to the spring.

Re-arranging the formula, we get:
$m= \frac{k}{4 \pi^2 f^2}$
and since we know the constant of the spring:
$k=39.5 N/m$
and the frequency of oscillation:
f=1.00 Hz
we can find the value of the mass attached to it:
$m= \frac{39.5 Hz}{4 \pi^2 (1.00 Hz)^2} = 1.00 kg$
