Answer: 5.9cm

Explanation:

15N/3cm=5

Convert 3kg to N (29.42N)

Use the 5 from earlier to divide 29.42/5=5.884

Round to 5.9

5.9cm is the answer

(I don’t know if I solved this the correct way but I got it right. 5.9 is the correct answer)

An electron is released from rest at a distance of 0.470 m from a large insulating sheet of charge that has uniform surface char
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

Part a)

W = 1.58 \times 10^{-20} J

Part b)

v = 1.86 \times 10^5 m/s

Explanation:

Part a)

Electric field due to large sheet is given as

E = \frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}

\sigma = 4.00 \times 10^{-12} C/m^2

now the electric field is given as

E = \frac{4.00 \times 10^{-12}}{2(8.85 \times 10^{-12})}

E = 0.225 N/C

Now acceleration of an electron due to this electric field is given as

a = \frac{eE}{m}

a = \frac{(1.6 \times 10^{-19})(0.225)}{9.1 \times 10^{-31}}

a = 3.97 \times 10^{10}

Now work done on the electron due to this electric field

W = F.d

d = 0.470 - 0.03

d = 0.44 m

So work done is given as

W = (ma)(0.44)

W = (9.11 \times 10^{-31})(3.97 \times 10^{10})(0.44)

W = 1.58 \times 10^{-20} J

Part b)

Now we know that work done by all forces = change in kinetic energy of the electron

so we will have

W = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 - 0

1.58 \times 10^{-20} = \frac{1}{2}(9.1\times 10^{-31})v^2

v = 1.86 \times 10^5 m/s

The energy of motion is called
liubo4ka [24]
<span>A. kinetic energy. </span>

Friction converts kinetic energy into heat, and so it represents a net loss of mechanical energy. When surfaces in contact move relative to each other, the friction between the two surfaces converts kinetic energy into heat. As demonstrated by the use of friction created by rubbing pieces of wood together to start a fire, kinetic energy is converted to heat whenever motion with friction occurs. The friction produced by brake pads in a car must generate a quantity of heat equal to the kinetic energy of the car and as a result, the brakes get quite hot.
