Answer:

0.5 eV

Explanation:

E_1 = Initial potential energy = 2\ eV

E_2 = Final potential energy

L_1 = Initial width

L_2 = Final width = 2L_1

Energy of an electron in a one-dimensional trap is given by

E=\dfrac{n^2h^2}{8mL^2}

From the equation we get

E\propto \dfrac{1}{L^2}

So,

\dfrac{E_1}{E_2}=\dfrac{L_2^2}{L_1^2}\\\Rightarrow E_2=\dfrac{E_1L_1^2}{L_2^2}\\\Rightarrow E_2=\dfrac{2L_1^2}{4L_1^2}\\\Rightarrow E_2=0.5\ eV

The ground state energy will be 0.5 eV

nexus9112 [7]

Complete Question

An infinite sheet carries a uniform, positive charge per unit area. The electric field produced by the sheet is represented by parallel lines drawn with a density N lines per m2 that are perpendicular to and away from the sheet. The charge per unit area on the sheet is doubled. How should the density of the electric field lines be changed?

A It should stay the same

B  It should be quadrupled.

C It should be quintupled

D It should be doubled.

E It should be tripled

Answer:

Option D is the correct option

Explanation:

Generally electric field is mathematically represented as

        E =  \frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_o}

Where \sigma is the charge per unit area (Charge density )

From the question we are told that \sigma is doubled hence the

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

Looking the equation above we see that the value of the electric field will also double given that it is directly proportional to the charge density

A child's water pistol shoots water through a 1.0-mm-diameter hole. If the pistol is fired horizontally 70 cm above the ground,
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

2.52 ml/s

Explanation:

Unit conversions:

1 mm = 0.001m

70 cm = 0.7 m

Let g = 10m/s2. If the pistol is fired horizontally at first, it did not have an vertical velocity, only horizontal velocity. So g is the only thing that affects the vertical motion of water.

We can calculate the time it takes for the squirts to hit the ground in the following equation of motion:

h = gt^2/2

where h = 0.7 m is the vertical distance, and t is the time it takes, which is what we are solving for:

t^2 = 2h/g = 2*0.7/10 = 0.14

t = \sqrt{0.14} = 0.374 s

So the squirts takes 0.374s to hit the ground, and within that time it travels a distance of 1.m horizontally. Neglect air resistance, we can calculate the horizontal velocity:

v = s/t

where s = 1.2 m is the horizontal distance

v = 1.2/0.374 = 3.21 m/s

The cross-section area of the hole is

A = \pi r^2

where r = d/2 = 0.001/2 = 0.0005 m is the radius of the hole

A = 0.0005^2 \pi = 7.85*10^{-7}

So we can calculate the volume flow rate:

\dot{V} = v*A = 3.21*7.85*10^{-7} = 2.52 * 10^{-06} m^3/s

or 2.52 ml/s
