Answer:

K.E = 15.57 x 10⁻¹⁷ J

Explanation:

First, we find the acceleration of the electron by using the formula of electric field:

E = F/q

F = Eq

but, from Newton's 2nd Law:

F = ma

Comparing both equations, we get:

ma = Eq

a = Eq/m

where,

E = electric field intensity = 120 N/C

q = charge of electron = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

m = Mass of electron = 9.1 x 10⁻³¹ kg

Therefore,

a = (120 N/C)(1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C)/(9.1 x 10⁻³¹ kg)

a = 2.11 x 10¹³ m/s²

Now, we need to find the final velocity of the electron. Using 3rd equation of motion:

2as = Vf² - Vi²

where,

Vf = Final Velocity = ?

Vi = Initial Velocity = 1.4 x 10⁷ m/s

s = distance = 3.5 m

Therefore,

(2)(2.11 x 10¹³ m/s²)(3.5 m) = Vf² - (1.4 x 10⁷)²

Vf = √(1.477 x 10¹⁴ m²/s² + 1.96 x 10¹⁴ m²/s²)

Vf = 1.85 x 10⁷ m/s

Now, we find the kinetic energy of electron at the end of the motion:

K.E = (0.5)(m)(Vf)²

K.E = (0.5)(9.1 x 10⁻³¹ kg)(1.85 x 10⁷ m/s)²

<u>K.E = 15.57 x 10⁻¹⁷ J</u>

Two 2.0kg bodies A and B collide The velocities before the collision are U1=15i+30j and U2=-10j+5.0j After the collision V1=-5.0
Svetllana [295]

Use the law of conservation of momentum. Since the momentum is a linear measure, we can treat each of the dimension separately:

i-direction:

m_1u_{1i}+m_2u_{2i}=m_1v_{1i}+m_2v_{2i}\\v_{2i} = \frac{m_1u_{1i}+m_2u_{2i}-m_1v_{1i}}{m_2}=\frac{(2\cdot 15-2\cdot10+2\cdot5)kg\frac{m}{s}}{2kg}=10\frac{m}{s}

j-direction:

m_1u_{1j}+m_2u_{2j}=m_1v_{1j}+m_2v_{2j}\\v_{2j} = \frac{m_1u_{1j}+m_2u_{2j}-m_1v_{1j}}{m_2}=\frac{(2\cdot 30+2\cdot5-2\cdot20)kg\frac{m}{s}}{2kg}=15\frac{m}{s}

Answer: Final velocity is: (10i + 15j) m/s

Change in the kinetic energy:

\Delta E_k = E_{ku}-E_{kv} = \frac{1}{2}m(u_1^2+u_2^2-v_1^2-v_2^2)=\\=\frac{1}{2}2kg(1125+125-425-325)\frac{m^2}{s^2}=500J

Answer: The system lost 500J worth of kinetic energy in the collision

A general contractor drives 5 miles to the hardware store in 10 minutes. He shops for needed tools for 30 minutes, then drives t
Alex17521 [72]

Given parameters:

Distance to hardware shop = 5 miles

Time to reach hardware shop = 10 minutes

Time spent at the shop = 30 minutes

Average speed to customer home = 45 mph

Time taken for the travel = 20 minutes

Unknown:

Average speed of the contractor = ?

Solution:

 Average speed is the total distance covered divided by the total time taken.

   Average speed = \frac{total distance}{total time taken}  

     total distance = distance to hardware shop + distance to customer's home

We do not know the distance to customer's home but we have been given the speed and time, so we can find the distance.

  Distance  = speed x time

 Convert the time to hrs and solve;  

                       60 minutes  = 1 hr

                       20 minutes  = \frac{20}{60} hr  = \frac{1}{3} hr

So, Distance  = 45mph x \frac{1}{3} hr   = 15miles

Now;

   Total distance  = 5 + 15 = 20miles

Total time = time to reach hardware shop + time to reach customer's house

                  = 10 + 20

                  = 30 minutes

Convert the time from minutes to hrs;

                 60 minutes  = 1hr

                 30 minutes  = \frac{30}{60}   = 0.5hr

So;

    Average speed  = \frac{20}{0.5} = 40mph

The average speed is 40mph
