The Earth itself is a source of terrestrial radiation. Radioactive materials including uranium, thorium, and radium exist naturally in soil and rock. Essentially all air contains radon<span> , which is responsible for most of the dose that Americans receive each year from natural background sources.</span>

A particle with charge − 2.74 × 10 − 6 C −2.74×10−6 C is released at rest in a region of constant, uniform electric field. Assum
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

241.7 s

Explanation:

We are given that

Charge of particle=q=-2.74\times 10^{-6} C

Kinetic energy of particle=K_E=6.65\times 10^{-10} J

Initial time=t_1=6.36 s

Final potential difference=V_2=0.351 V

We have to find the time t after that the particle is released and traveled through a potential difference 0.351 V.

We know that

qV=K.E

Using the formula

2.74\times 10^{-6}V_1=6.65\times 10^{-10} J

V_1=\frac{6.65\times 10^{-10}}{2.74\times 10^{-6}}=2.43\times 10^{-4} V

Initial voltage=V_1=2.43\times 10^{-4} V

\frac{\initial\;voltage}{final\;voltage}=(\frac{initial\;time}{final\;time})^2

Using the formula

\frac{V_1}{V_2}=(\frac{6.36}{t})^2

\frac{2.43\times 10^{-4}}{0.351}=\frac{(6.36)^2}{t^2}

t^2=\frac{(6.36)^2\times 0.351}{2.43\times 10^{-4}}

t=\sqrt{\frac{(6.36)^2\times 0.351}{2.43\times 10^{-4}}}

t=241.7 s

Hence, after 241.7 s the particle is released has it traveled through a potential difference of 0.351 V.

How does time relate to motion
docker41 [41]
As we move, time goes up. Think of it on a graph; as time increases on the x axis, motion can either stay the same, increase, or decrease.
