Formula for kinetic energy of an object:

KE = 0.5mv²

m is the mass and v is the velocity.

Formula for the work done on a charged object by moving it through a potential difference:

W = ΔVq

ΔV is the potential difference and q is the charge of the object.

To find the potential difference needed to decelerate an electron to rest, set the work done on the electron equal to its kinetic energy:

W = KE

Substitute W = ΔVq and KE = 0.5mv²

ΔVq = 0.5mv²

Given values:

q = 1.6×10⁻¹⁹C

m = 9.11×10⁻³¹kg

v = 6.0m/s

Plug in the given values and solve for ΔV

ΔV×1.6×10⁻¹⁹ = 0.5×9.11×10⁻³¹×6.0²

ΔV = 1.02×10⁻¹⁰V

Answer:

∆T = Mv^2Y/2Cp

Explanation:

Formula for Kinetic energy of the vessel = 1/2mv^2

Increase in internal energy Δu = nCVΔT

where n is the number of moles of the gas in vessel.

When the vessel is to stop suddenly, its kinetic energy will be used to increase the temperature of the gas

We say

1/2mv^2 = ∆u

1/2mv^2 = nCv∆T

Since n = m/M

1/2mv^2 = mCv∆T/M

Making ∆T subject of the formula we have

∆T = Mv^2/2Cv

Multiple the RHS by Cp/Cp

∆T = Mv^2/2Cv *Cp/Cp

Since Y = Cp/CV

∆T = Mv^2Y/2Cp k

Since CV = R/Y - 1

We could also have

∆T = Mv^2(Y - 1)/2R k

The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all types of radiation. Radiation is energy that travels and spreads out as it goes – the visible light that comes from a lamp in your house and the radio waves that come from a radio station are two types of electromagnetic radiation. The other types of EM radiation that make up the electromagnetic spectrum are microwaves, infrared light, ultraviolet light, X-rays and gamma-rays.
