A moving particle encounters an external electric field that decreases its kinetic energy from 9520 eV to 7060 eV as the particl

e moves from position A to position B. The electric potential at A is -55.0 V, and the electric potential at B is +27.0 V. Determine the charge of the particle. Include the algebraic sign ( + or - ) with your answer.

Given Information:

KEa = 9520 eV

KEb = 7060 eV

Electric potential = Va = -55 V

Electric potential = Vb = +27 V

Required Information:

Charge of the particle = q = ?

Answer:

Charge of the particle = +4.8x10⁻¹⁸ C

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of energy, we have

ΔKE = -qΔV

KEb - KEa = -q(Vb - Va)

-q = KEb - KEa/Vb - Va

-q = 7060 - 9520/27 - (-55)

-q = 7060 - 9520/27 + 55

-q = -2460/82

minus sign cancels out

q = 2460/82

Convert eV into Joules by multiplying it with 1.60x10⁻¹⁹

q = 2460(1.60x10⁻¹⁹)/82

q = +4.8x10⁻¹⁸ C

Iodine 131 half life is 8.0 days. Ten percent of the original sample o his isotope remains after (a) 22.7 days (b) 24.9 days (c)
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

option (c) is correct

Explanation:

Half life of a substance is the time in which the element becomes half of is initial value.

half life, T = 8 days

Amount remaining, N = 10 % of original value

Let the original value is No.

N = 10% of No

N = 0.1 No

Let the time taken is t and the decay constant is λ.

The relation between the decay constant and the half life is given by

\lambda =\frac{0.6931}{T}=\frac{0.6931}{8}=0.08664 per day

Us the equation of radioactivity

N=N_{0}e^{-\lambda t}

0.1N_{0}=N_{0}e^{-0.08664 t}

e^{0.08664 t}=10

Taking natural log on both the sides, we get

0.08664 t = 2.303

t = 26.6 days

The breaking car had 10,000 J of kinetic energy before breaking after breaking it had 2000 J of kinetic energy. How much thermal
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

8000J

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of the car lost during breaking are converted to thermal energy and are gained by the brakes.

Kinetic energy loss by car = thermal energy gained by brakes.

∆K.E = ∆T.E ....1

The Kinetic energy loss by car can be expressed as;

∆K.E = K.E1 - K.E2

Initial K.E = K.E1 = 10000J

Final K.E = K.E2 = 2000J

∆K.E= 10000J - 2000J = 8000J

From equation 1,

∆K.E = ∆T.E

∆T.E = 8,000J

thermal energy gain by brakes = 8,000J
