Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf A. \ 1000 \ Joules}}$

Explanation:

Kinetic energy can be found using the following formula.

$E_k=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where m is the mass and v is the velocity.

The mass of the toy plane is 20 kilograms and the velocity is 10 meters per second.

$m= 20 \ kg \\v= 10 \ m/s \\$

Substitute the values into the formula.

$E_k=\frac{1}{2}(20 \ kg) (10 \ m/s)^2$

Solve the exponent first.

(10 m/s)²= 10 m/s *10 m/s= 100 m²/s²

$E_k=\frac{1}{2} (20 \ kg) (100 \ m^2/s^2)$

Multiply the last two numbers together.

$E_k= \frac{1}{2}(2000 \ kg*m^2/s^2)$

Multiply by 1/2 or divide by 2.

$E_k= 1000 \ kg*m^2/s^2$

1 kilogram square meter per square second is equal to 1 Joule.
Our answer of 1000 kg*m²/s² is equal to 1000 Joules

$E_k= 1000 \ J$

The kinetic energy of the toy plane is 1000 Joules

An electron accelerated from rest through a voltage of 780 v enters a region of constant magnetic field. part a part complete if

maxonik [38]

The electron is accelerated through a potential difference of $\Delta V=780 V$ , so the kinetic energy gained by the electron is equal to its variation of electrical potential energy:
$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = e \Delta V$
where
m is the electron mass
v is the final speed of the electron
e is the electron charge
$\Delta V$ is the potential difference

Re-arranging this equation, we can find the speed of the electron before entering the magnetic field:
$v= \sqrt{ \frac{2 e \Delta V}{m} } = \sqrt{ \frac{2(1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C)(780 V)}{9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg} }=1.66 \cdot 10^7 m/s$

Now the electron enters the magnetic field. The Lorentz force provides the centripetal force that keeps the electron in circular orbit:
$evB=m \frac{v^2}{r}$
where B is the intensity of the magnetic field and r is the orbital radius. Since the radius is r=25 cm=0.25 m, we can re-arrange this equation to find B:
$B= \frac{mv}{er}= \frac{(9.1 \cdot 10^{-31}kg)(1.66 \cdot 10^7 m/s)}{(1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C)(0.25 m)} =3.8 \cdot 10^{-4} T$
