An electron and a proton are both released from rest, midway between the plates of a charged parallel-plate capacitor. The only

force on each of the two particles is the force from the uniform electric field due to the capacitor. Each particle accelerates until striking one of the plates of the capacitor. (There is no gravity in this problem and we ignore the small force between the electron and the proton.) How do the final kinetic energies and final speeds (just before striking a plate) compare

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the potential difference between the middle point and one of the plate be ΔV .

electric potential energy will be lost and it will be converted into kinetic energy .

Electrical potential energy lost = Vq , where q is charge on charge particle .

For proton

ΔV× q = 1/2 M V² ( kinetic energy of proton )

where M is mass and V be final velocity of proton .

For electron

ΔV× q = 1/2 m v² ( kinetic energy of electron  )

where m is mass and v be final velocity of electron . Charges on proton and electron are same in magnitude .

As LHS of both the equation are same , RHS will also be same . That means the kinetic energy of both proton and electron will be same

1/2 M V² =  1/2 m v²

(V / v )² = ( m / M )

(V / v ) = √ ( m / M )

In other words , their velocities  are  inversely proportional to square root of their masses .

Astronomers use a wide variety of technology to explore space and the electromagnetic spectrum; why do you believe it is essenti
Alex73 [517]

Universe contains billions and billions of stars, galaxies, planets, asteroids, comets and many more different type of bodies. These objects emit radiations of varied frequency. In order to study these different kind of objects, different kind of technology is required. There are different type of missions: some contain probes which land on the surface, some orbit the bodies etc. These are for solar system. Yet some are space observatories having detectors to study light from distant objects. Further, there are different detectors for different wavelengths of electromagnetic spectrum.

Write a complete sentence using the scientific meaning of energy
Nitella [24]

Sentence:

"A collision with no energy is transferred."

Or you could put

"Gamma rays often occur at different energies"

...

Scientific energy is the power that an object or force has that can be measured in joules.

g A wheel of radius 1.2 meters initially rotates clockwise around its center with an angular speed of 10 rad/s, and it steadily
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

 α = 5 rad / s²

Explanation:

This is a rotational kinematics exercise.

They indicate the initial velocity wo = 10 rad / s

             w = w₀ + α t

             α = \frac{w-w_o }{t}

let's calculate

             α = \frac{30-10}{4}

             α = 5 rad / s²

The velocity, the angular relation are the same in all the points of the wheel, the velocities and linear accelerations are the ones that change

            a = α r

            v = w r
