Derive the formula for the electric field E to accelerate the charged particle to a fraction f of the speed of light c. Express

E in terms of M, Q, D, f, c and v0. – (a) Using the Coulomb force and kinematic equations. (8 points) – (b) Using the work-kinetic energy theorem. ( 8 points) – (c) Using the formula above, evaluate the strength of the electric field E to accelerate an electron from 0.1% of the speed of light to 90% of the speed of light. You need to look up the relevant constants, such as mass of the electron, charge of the electron and the speed of light. (5 points)

Answer:

E = \frac{(f^2c^2 - v_o^2)M}{2QD}

Part c)

E = \frac{2.07 \times 10^5}{D}

Explanation:

Part a)

As per Coulomb's law we know that force on a charge placed in electrostatic field is given as

F = QE

now acceleration of charge is given as

a = \frac{QE}{M}

now if charge moved through the distance D in electric field and its speed changes from vo to fraction f of speed of light c

then we will have

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

(fc)^2 - v_o^2 = 2(\frac{QE}{M})D

so we have

E = \frac{(f^2c^2 - v_o^2)M}{2QD}

Part b)

Now using work energy theorem we can say that total work done by electric force on moving charge will convert into kinetic energy

So we will have

QED = \frac{1}{2}M(cf)^2 - \frac{1}{2}Mv_o^2

so we have

E = \frac{M(c^2f^2 - v_o^2)}{2QD}

Part c)

Now if an electron is accelerated using this field

then we have

M = 9.11 \times 10^{-31} kg

Q = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C

c = 3\times 10^8 m/s

so we have

E = \frac{(9.1 \times 10^{-31})(0.9^2 - 0.001^2)\times 9 \times 10^{16}}{2(1.6 \times 10^{-19})D}

E = \frac{2.07 \times 10^5}{D}

Which example best demonstrates how unbalanced forces change the speed of an object's motion?
exis [7]

I don’t see a picture but unbalanced forces could be two boys pushing with a combined force of 400 Newton’s but the surface of what the box is laying on being 600 meaning since the ground is creating a higher force in the form of friction it will slow the boys down. When forces are unbalanced it means that the object can not be still or moving at a constant speed  when one force is greater by a significant amount the object either slows quickly or accelerates fast depending on which factor is greater.

Water having a density of 1000 kg/m^3 is flowing with a velocity of 3 m/s through a round pipe. There is a restriction within th
Fofino [41]

Answer:

12 m/s

Explanation:

Using the continuity equation, which is an extension of the conservation of mass law

ρ₁A₁v₁ = ρ₂A₂v₂

where 1 and 2 indicate the conditions at two different points of flow, in this case, point 1 is any normal position in the pip and point 2 is the conditions at the restriction.

ρ = density of the fluid flowing; note that the density of the fluid flowing (water) is constant all through the fluid's flow

A₁ = Cross sectional Area of the pipe at point 1 = (πD₁²/4)

A₂ = Cross sectional Area of the pipe at the restriction = (πD₂²/4)

v₁ = velocity of the fluid flowing at point 1 = 3 m/s

v₂ = velocity of the fluid flowing at The restriction = ?

ρ₁A₁v₁ = ρ₂A₂v₂

Becomes

A₁v₁ = A₂v₂ (since ρ₁ = ρ₂)

(πD₁²/4) × 3 = (πD₂²/4) × v₂

3D₁² = D₂² × v₂

But

D₂ = (D₁/2)

And D₂² = (D₁²/4)

3D₁² = D₂² × v₂

3D₁² = (D₁²/4) × v₂

(D₁²/4) × v₂ = 3D₁²

v₂ = 4×3 = 12 m/s

A small ball of charge Q and mass m has a velocity v at infinity. It collides head-on with a ball of the same charge and mass wh
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of ball in motion = 1/2 m v² . Potential energy = 0

Let the minimum distance between the balls be d  on collision.

Electric potential energy at that time= k Q²/d , Here kinetic energy is converted into potential energy . So

1/2 m v² = kQ²/d

d =2 k Q² / mv²,= 18 x 10⁹ x Q²/ m v².

A plastic rod that has been charged to -21 nc touches a metal sphere. afterward, the rod's charge is -8 nc. (a) what kind of cha
otez555 [7]
The rod transferred negatively charged particle to the metal sphere. The rod becomes less negatively charged than it was originally (originally it was charged to -21 nc, now it has -8, and -8>-21), so it must have moved 13 nc of negative charge to the sphere.
