The potential difference between the plates of a capacitor is 145 V. Midway between the plates, a proton and an electron are rel

eased. The electron is released from rest. The proton is projected perpendicularly toward the negative plate with an initial speed. The proton strikes the negative plate at the same instant the electron strikes the positive plate. Ignore the attraction between the two particles, and find the initial speed of the proton.

Answer:

= 2.52 x 10^ 6 m/s        

Explanation:

The force that acts on charged particles between capacitor plates =

F = (q) (Δv)  ÷ d

Here,  d = distance between the two plates

          q = charge of the charged particle

         Δv = voltage

Normally, the force that makes both proton and electron released from rest, giving the charge acceleration is F=m X a. where m= mass and a = acceleration

Poting this equation with the first one, we have:

m X a =  (q) (Δv)  ÷ d

So, the acceleration of a proton when moving towards a negatively charged plate is

a = (q) (Δv)  ÷ (d) (m) {proton}

Likewise, the acceleration of an electron when moving towards a positively charged plate is

a = (q) (Δv)  ÷ (d) (m) {electron}

Dividing the proton acceleration formula by the electron acceleration formula we have:

a (proton) / a (electron) = m (proton) / m(electron)

inserting equation of motion to get distance, s

s = ut + 1/2 at^2

recall that electron travel distance, d/2

d/2 = 1/2 at^2

making t the subject of the formula

we have, t =√(d ÷ a(electron))

The distance of proton:

d/2 =  ut + 1/2 at^2 [proton}

put d/2 =  ut + 1/2 at^2 [proton} into t =√(d ÷ a(electron))

Initial speed, ui = √(d ÷ a(electron)) = (d/2) - (1/2) x (d) (a(proton) + a(electron))

since acceleration wasn't given in the question, lets use mass(elect

ron)  ÷ mass(proton) rather than use (a(proton) + a(electron))

Therefore, intial speed= 1/2√((e X Δv) ÷ m(electron)) (1- m(electron)/ m(proton))

   Note, e = 1.60 x 10^-19

           m(electron) = 9.11 X 10^-31

            m(proton) = 1.67  X 10^-27

Input these values into the formula above, initial speed, UI =  

           = 2.52 x 10^ 6 m/s

Which of these is the easiest mineral identification property to use when you want to know whether you have pyrite or actual gol
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

c. streak

Explanation:

Pyrite is a mineral that looks like gold but actually is iron disulfide.

Pyrite and gold have comparable luster.

Pyrite and gold have different tones of yellow. This can be determined by their streak. Streak is the powdered form of a mineral. A streak of mineral can be found just by rubbing the mineral on a rough surface and comparing the colors.

Pyrite is diamagnetic which is not a strong form of magnetism. Gold is also diamagnetic

What factors affect the gravitational pull of two massive objects?​
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:Mass and distance

Explanation:The strength of the gravitational force between two objects depends on two factors, mass and distance. the force of gravity the masses exert on each other. If one of the masses is doubled, the force of gravity between the objects is doubled. increases, the force of gravity decreases.

Hope this helps!!

"The International Space Station (ISS) orbits at a distance of 350 km above the surface of the Earth. (a) Determine the gravitat
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

(a) g = 8.82158145m/s^2.

(b) 7699.990192m/s.

(c)5484.3301s = 1.5234 hours.(extremely fast).

Explanation:

(a) Strength of gravitational field 'g' by definition is

g = \frac{M_{(earth)} }{r^2} G , here G is Gravitational Constant, and r is distance from center of earth, all the values will remain same except r which will be radius of earth + altitude at which ISS is in orbit.

r = 6721,000 meters, putting this value in above equation gives g = 8.82158145m/s^2.

(b) We have to essentially calculate centripetal acceleration that equals new 'g'.

a_{centripetal}=\frac{V^2}{r} =g here g is known, r is known and v is unknown.

plugging in r and g in above and solving for unknown gives V = 7699.990192m/s.

(c)  S = vT,  here T is time period or time required to complete one full revolution.

S =  earth's circumfrence , V is calculated in (B) T is unknown.

solving for unknown gives T = 5484.3301s = 1.5234hours.
