An electron is in motion at 4.0 × 106 m/s horizontally when it enters a region of space between two parallel plates, as shown, s

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

xmax = 9.5cm

Explanation:

In this case, the trajectory described by the electron, when it enters in the region between the parallel plates, is a semi parabolic trajectory.

In order to find the horizontal distance traveled by the electron you first calculate the vertical acceleration of the electron.

You use the Newton second law and the electric force on the electron:

$F_e=qE=ma$ (1)

q: charge of the electron = 1.6*10^-19 C

m: mass of the electron = 9.1*10-31 kg

E: magnitude of the electric field = 4.0*10^2N/C

You solve the equation (1) for a:

$a=\frac{qE}{m}=\frac{(1.6*10^{-19}C)(4.0*10^2N/C)}{9.1*10^{-31}kg}=7.03*10^{13}\frac{m}{s^2}$

Next, you use the following formula for the maximum horizontal distance reached by an object, with semi parabolic motion at a height of d:

$x_{max}=v_o\sqrt{\frac{2d}{a}}$ (2)

Here, the height d is the distance between the plates d = 2.0cm = 0.02m

vo: initial velocity of the electron = 4.0*10^6m/s

You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (2):

$x_{max}=(4.0*10^6m/s)\sqrt{\frac{2(0.02m)}{7.03*10^{13}m/s^2}}\\\\x_{max}=0.095m=9.5cm$

The horizontal distance traveled by the electron is 9.5cm

How will you determine the direction<br>of a torque? Explain.

asambeis [7]

You use the right hand rule. With your thumb out and the rest of your fingers curved ( like a thumbs up) curve your fingers to the direction of the torque. The direction your thumbs points at is the direction of the torque

A torsion pendulum consists of an irregularly-shaped object of mass 20.0 kg suspended vertically by a wire of torsion constant 0

netineya [11]

Answer:

Rotational inertia of the object is, $I=0.023\ kg-m^2$

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the object, m = 20 kg

Torsion constant of the wire, K = 0.85 N-m

Number of cycles, n = 69

Time, t = 66 s

To find,

The rotational inertia of the object.

Solution,

There exists a relationship between the moment of inertia, time period and the torsion constant of the spring is given by :

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{I}{K}}$

Here I is the moment of inertia

T is the time period, and it is equal to the number of cycles per unit time

$I=\dfrac{T^2K}{4\pi ^2}$

$I=\dfrac{(69/66)^2\times 0.85}{4\pi ^2}$

$I=0.023\ kg-m^2$

So, the rotational inertia of the object is $0.023\ kg-m^2$ .

A solid block of metal is at its melting temperature. it takes 24j to melt 6kg of a metal. what is the latent heat of fusion of

Marina86 [1]

The Latent heat of fusion is also known as the Enthalpy of Fusion. It is a kind pf change in enthalpy.

<h3>Brief explanation of Latent Heat of Fusion? </h3>

The latent heat of fusion, is the change in enthalpy that takes place when energy, typically heat, is provided to a specific quantity of a substance to causes it to change from a solid state to a liquid state at a constant pressure.

For instance, 1 kilogram of ice melts at 0 °C at a variety of pressures, absorbing 333.55 kJ of energy without causing a change in temperature.

The heat of solidification, which occurs when a substance changes from a liquid to a solid, is equal and opposing.

This energy includes the contribution necessary to displace its surroundings against ambient pressure in order to accommodate any corresponding change in volume.

The melting point or the freezing point, depending on the situation, is the temperature at which the phase transition takes place. Conventionally, unless otherwise stated, the pressure is taken to be 1 atm (101.325 kPa).

<h3>Calculation</h3>

The formula of latent heat of fusion is L= q/m

Here q is the heat provided and m is the mass of the object.

So, L = 24j/6kg

L= 4j/kg

So, the latent heat of fusion is 4 j/kg
