Answer:
1.97 m/s.
Explanation:
From the question,
Using the law of conservation of energy,
The energy stored in the charged plate = Kinetic energy of the mass
1/2(qV) = 1/2mv².......................... Equation 1
Where q = charge, V = voltage, m = mass, v = velocity.
make v the subject of the equation
v = √(qV/m)......................... Equation 2
Given: q = 6.5×10⁻⁶ C, V = 12000 Volts, m = 0.02 kg
Substitute these values into equation 2
v = √(6.5×10⁻⁶×12000 /0.02)
v = √3.9
v = 1.97 m/s.
