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

E) No. Ollie will shine for 30 Billion years but is only 10,000 LY from Earth.
F) No. Cosmo will shine for 3 Million years but is 10 Billion LY from Earth.
G) Yes. Ollie is only 10.000 LY away but will shine for 30 Billion years.
Ga) No. Stars such as Cosmo shine for 3 Million years.
Gb) If Cosmo was also 3 Million LY away we would see it now.

How are some types of collisions different from others?
lyudmila [28]
There are two general types of collisions, inelastic and elastic. 
Inelastic collisions occur when two objects collide but neither of them bounce away from each other.
Collisions in which the objects do not touch each other are elastic. (Ex: Rutherford Scattering)

Goshia [24]

If an object is thrown in an upward direction from the top of a building 1.60 x 102 ft. high at an initial velocity of 21.82 mi/h, what is its final velocity when it hits the ground? (Disregard wind resistance. Round answer to nearest whole number and do not reflect negative direction in your answer.)


this question is troubling me i guessed 96 ft/s

can someone help me out and explain it thanks so much!!!!!!
