Complete Question

A parallel plate capacitor creates a uniform electric field of 5 x 10^4 N/C and its plates are separated by 2 x 10^{-3}'m. A proton is placed at rest next to the positive plate and then released and moves toward the negative plate. When the proton arrives at the negative plate, what is its speed?

Answer:

$V=1.4*10^5m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Electric field $B=1.5*10N/C$

Distance $d=2 x 10^{-3}$

At negative plate

Generally the equation for Velocity is mathematically given by

$V^2=2as$

Therefore

$V^2=\frac{2*e_0E*d}{m}$

$V^2=\frac{2*1.6*10^{-19}(5*10^4)*2 * 10^{-3}}{1.67*10^{-28}}$

$V=\sqrt{19.2*10^9}$

$V=1.4*10^5m/s$

Answer:

$1.9161676647\times 10^{13}\ m/s^2$ or $1.9532799844\times 10^{12}g$

23.4843749996 m

Yes

Explanation:

E = Electric field = $2\times 10^5\ N/C$

c = Speed of light = $3\times 10^8\ m/s$

m = Mass of proton= $1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg$

q = Charge of electron = $1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

Acceleration is given by

$a=\dfrac{Eq}{m}\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{2\times 10^5\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{1.67\times 10^{-27}}\\\Rightarrow a=1.9161676647\times 10^{13}\ m/s^2$

Dividing by g

$\dfrac{a}{g}=\dfrac{1.9161676647\times 10^{13}}{9.81}\\\Rightarrow a=1.9532799844\times 10^{12}g$

The acceleration is $1.9161676647\times 10^{13}\ m/s^2$ or $1.9532799844\times 10^{12}g$

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{(0.1\times 3\times 10^8)^2-0^2}{2\times 1.9161676647\times 10^{13}}\\\Rightarrow s=23.4843749996\ m$

The distance is 23.4843749996 m

The gravitational field is very small compared to the electric field so the effects of gravity can be ignored.

Suppose that in a lightning flash the potential difference between a cloud and the ground is 0.96×109 V and the quantity of char

Dvinal [7]

(a) $2.98\cdot 10^{10} J$

The change in energy of the transferred charge is given by:

$\Delta U = q \Delta V$

where

q is the charge transferred

$\Delta V$ is the potential difference between the ground and the clouds

Here we have

$q=31 C$

$\Delta V = 0.96\cdot 10^9 V$

So the change in energy is

$\Delta U = (31 C)(0.96\cdot 10^9 V)=2.98\cdot 10^{10} J$

(b) 7921 m/s

If the energy released is used to accelerate the car from rest, than its final kinetic energy would be

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

where

m = 950 kg is the mass of the car

v is the final speed of the car

Here the energy given to the car is

$K=2.98\cdot 10^{10} J$

Therefore by re-arranging the equation, we find the final speed of the car:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(2.98\cdot 10^{10})}{950}}=7921 m/s$

Astronomers believe that cosmic background radiation formed:

mr_godi [17]

The assumption that the cosmic microwave background
is the remnant of the environment at the time of the big bang
or very shortly after it explains very well what we observe now.
So it is the current prevailing theory. "Believe" is not involved.
