An electron enters the gap between the plates of a capacitor at the center of the gap traveling parallel to theplates at 2.0 x 1

06m/s parallel to the plates. If the gap has a width of 1.0 cm and the surface charge densityof the upper and lower plates are±1.0 x 10−6C/m2, respectively. How far will the electron travel beforehitting a plate? (Assume that the electric field is uniform inside the capacitor and zero outside.)

Answer:

How far will the electron travel beforehitting a plate is 248.125mm

Explanation:

Applying Gauss' law:

Electric Field E = Charge density/epsilon nought

Where charge density=1.0 x 10^-6C/m2 & epsilon nought= 8.85× 10^-12

Therefore E = 1.0 x 10^-6/8.85× 10^-12

E= 1.13×10^5N/C

Force on electron F=qE

Where q=charge of electron=1.6×10^-19C

Therefore F=1.6×10^-19×1.13×10^5

F=1.808×10^-14N

Acceleration on electron a = Force/Mass

Where Mass of electron = 9.10938356 × 10^-31

Therefore a= 1.808×10^-14 /9.11 × 10-31

a= 1.985×10^16m/s^2

Time spent between plate = Distance/Speed

From the question: Distance=1cm=0.01m and speed = 2×10^6m/s^2

Therefore Time = 0.01/2×10^6

Time =5×10^-9s

How far the electron would travel S =ut+ at^2/2 where u=0

S= 1.985×10^16×(5×10^-9)^2/2

S=24.8125×10^-2m

S=248.125mm

Why doesn't every planet have a moon?

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Up first are Mercury and Venus. Neither of them has a moon. Because Mercury is so close to the Sun and its gravity, it wouldn't be able to hold on to its own moon. Any moon would most likely crash into Mercury or maybe go into orbit around the Sun and eventually get pulled into it.

Two buses are driving along parallel freeways that are 5mi apart, one heading east and the other heading west. Assuming that eac

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

101.54m/h

Explanation:

Given that the buses are 5mi apart, and that they are both driving at the same speed of 55m/h, rate of change of distance can be determined using differentiation as;

Let l be the be the distance further away at which they will meet from the current points;

$l=\sqrt{13^2-5^2}=12m\\\\\frac{dl}{dt}=-(55m/h+55m/h})\\\\=-110m/h$ #The speed toward each other.

$\frac{dh}{dt}=0, \ \ \ \ h=constant\\\\h^2+l^2=b^2\\\\2h\frac{dh}{dt}+2l\frac{dl}{dt}=2b\frac{db}{dt}\\\\2\times5\times0+2\times12\times(-110)=2\times13\frac{db}{dt}\\\\\frac{db}{dt}=-101.54m/h$

Hence, the rate at which the distance between the buses is changing when they are 13mi apart is 101.54m/h

In order to open the clam it catches, a seagull will drop the clam repeatedly onto a hard surface from high in the air until the

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

2.2 s

Explanation:

Hi!

Let's consider the origin of the coordinate system at the ground, and consider that the clam starts with zero velocity, the equation of motion of the clam is given by

$x(t) = 23.1 m - \frac{1}{2}(9.8 m/s^2) t^2$

We are looking for a time t for which x(t) = 0

$0 = 23.1 m - (4.9 m/s^2) t^2$

Solving for t:

$t = \sqrt{\frac{23.1}{4.9}} s = 2.17124 s$

Rounding at the first decimal:

t = 2.2 s
