A free electron is moving with a velocity of 3 × 105 m/s. It strikes a stationary electron in a head-on elastic collision. The m

ass of an electron is 9.1093 × 10-31 kg. What will be the magnitude and direction of the momentum of the stationary electron, post collision?

Answer:

After the colision, the stationary electron's momentum is given as:

P = 2.7328 x 10^(-25) kg m/s

The direction of momentum is the same as the direction of velocity of the electron.

Explanation:

In an Isolated system, when an object moving at some velocity v collides head on with a stationary object of equal mass. There velocities are exchanged.

This means that the first electron will become stationary and the electron which was stationary initially will start moving at a velocity of 3*10^(5)m/s in the same direction as the first electron.

Post collision momentum of the stationary electron:

V = 3 x 10^5 m/s

m = 9.1093 x 10^(-31) kg

Momentum = P = mV =  9.1093 x 10^(-31) x 3 x 10^5

P = 2.7328 x 10^(-25) kg m/s

The direction of momentum is the same as the velocity of the electron.

Answer:

273.279 × 10-25 kg.m/s, in the same direction as the incident electron

Explanation:

The momentum of the stationary electron post collision will be 273.279 × 10-25 kg.m/s, in the same direction as the incident electron.

Momentum of the incident electron = mv

= 9.1093 × 10-31 × 3 × 105

= 273.279 × 10-25 kg.m/s

In the collision of the electrons, the total momentum is conserved. Since it is an elastic collision, the momentum of the incident electron is completely transferred to the stationary electron. So it will have the same momentum as the incident electron. It will also move in the direction of the incident electron.

finlep [7]
Answer. 30 minutes
Explanation. If he walks 70 m in one minute how long will it take him to walk 2,100 m. Well, this is a simple division problem (you could also use a ratio box).
2100/70= 30. Hope this helps, let me know if it’s correct so others can use it :)
Good luck.

A certain brand of hot-dog cooker works by applying a potential difference of 120 V across opposite ends of a hot dog and allowi
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

The time it will take to cook three hot dogs simultaneously is 2.5 minutes

Explanation:

Here we have, the Energy of electric heating given by Joule heating that is;

P = IV = 120×10 = 1200 J/s = 1.2 kJ/s

Since the energy required to cook one hotdog = 60.0 kJ we have

Energy required to cook three hot dogs = 3 × 60.0 kJ  = 180.0 kJ

Therefore, the time required to cook the three hot dogs is

(180.0 kJ)/(1.2 kJ/s) = 150 s

The time it takes to cook three hot dogs simultaneously is

150 seconds or 150/60 minutes which is 2 minutes 30 seconds or 2.5 minutes

What term describes how far an object moves in a certain amount of time
stepan [7]

Answer:

1. Speed

Explanation:

"how far an object moves in a certain amount of time"

"how far an object moves"- <em>distance</em>

"In a " - <em>over</em>

"certain amount of time" - <em>time</em>

<em>Distance over time is speed. </em>

The speed of an object is the distance the object travels in one unit of time.

<em>Hope I Helped, Feel free to ask any questions to clarify :)</em>

<em>Have great day!</em>

In an electroplating process, copper (ionic charge +2e, atomic weight 63.6 g/mol) is deposited using a current of 10.0 A. What m
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

1.974 g

Explanation:

Electrochemical equivalent of copper, z = 0.000329 g/C

I = 10 A

t = 10 minutes = 10 x 60 = 600 seconds

By the use of Farady's law of electrolysis

m = z I t

m = 0.000329 x 10 x 600

m = 1.974 g
