Answer:

v = 5.9 x 10⁷ m/s

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of the electron in terms of potential difference is given as:

$K.E = eV$ --------------- equation (1)

where,

e = charge on electron = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

V = Potential Difference = 9.9 KV = 9900 Volts

The kinetic energy in general is given as:

$K.E = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}\\$ --------- equation (2)

where,

m = mass of electron = 9.1 x 10⁻³¹ kg

v = speed of electron = ?

Therefore, comparing equation (1) and equation (2), we get:

$\\\frac{1}{2}mv^{2} = eV\\\\\frac{1}{2}(9.1\ x\ 10^{-31}\ kg)v^{2} = (1.6\ x\ 10^{-19}\ C)(9900\ volts)\\\\v = \sqrt{34.81\ x\ 10^{14}} \\$

Match these items.

Nitella [24]

Explanation :

(1) Involuntary muscles are the muscles that are not controlled by our will.

(2) Tendons are the connective tissues that join the muscle to bones. Tendons are tissues that have fibers.

(3) Cardiac muscle is also involuntary muscles. For example heart muscle. It shows contraction and relaxation throughout life.

(4) Voluntary muscle is the muscles that are not controlled by our will.

(5) Biceps are the arm muscles.

Hence, this the required explanation as per options.

Suppose you wish to fabricate a uniform wire out of 1.10 g of copper. If the wire is to have a resistance R = 0.390 Ω, and if al

Citrus2011 [14]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to volume, as a function of length and area, as of mass and density. Later we will take the same concept of resistance and resistivity, equal to the length per unit area. Once obtained from the known constants it will be possible to obtain the area by matching the two equations:

Mass of copper wire $(m) = 1.10g = 1.10*10^{-3} kg$

Density $(\rho)= 8.92*10^3kg/m^3$

Resistively of copper $(\gamma) = 1.7*10^{-8}\Omega \cdot m$

Resistance (R) = 0.390\Omega

Volume is defined as,

$V= lA \text{ and }\frac{m}{\rho}$

$lA= \frac{1.10*10^{-3}}{8.92*10^3}$

$lA = 1.233*10^{-7} m^3$ (1)

We know that,

$\frac{l}{A} = \frac{R}{\gamma}$

$\frac{l}{A}= \frac{0.390\Omega}{1.7*10^{-8}\Omega m}$

$\frac{l}{A} = 2.2941*10^7 m^{-1}$ (2)

Multiplying equation we have

$l^2 = (1.233*10^{-7})( 2.2941*10^7)$

$l^2 = 2.8286m^2$

$l =\sqrt{2.8286m^2}$

$l = 1.68m$

Therefore the length of the wire is 1.68m

Answer True or Flase1-Electric potential due to a uniform E field doesn’t change with location.2-The equipotential surfaces asso

TEA [102]

Answer:

1. False

2. True

3. True

Explanation:

1- False —> The relation between electric potential and electric field is given such that

$-\int\limits^a_b \vec{E}d\vec{l} = V_{ab}$

Therefore, for a uniform E field, electric potential is linearly proportional to the distance.

2- True —> The electric field lines always cross the equipotential lines perpendicularly.

3- True —> In order to be a potential difference, one source of electric field is enough. The electric potential will decrease radially according to the following formula:

$V = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q}{r^2}$

There is no test charge in the formula, only the source charge. Even when there is no test charge, the potential difference between points in space can exist.
