When a blade of cold knife is touched to hot glass chimney there is a sudden drop of temperature on the spot where the blade touches. As a result it cracks.

Explanation:

When a blade of cold knife is touched to hot glass chimney there is a sudden drop of temperature on the spot where the blade touches. This decrease in temperature makes the glass to contract. The stress developed on the site of contraction is responsible for the cracking of the glass chimney.

An electron is moving east in a uniform electric field of 1.55 N/C directed to the west. At point A, the velocity of the electro

valkas [14]

Answer:

Final velocity of electron, $v=6.45\times 10^5\ m/s$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Electric field, E = 1.55 N/C

Initial velocity at point A, $u=4.52\times 10^5\ m/s$

We need to find the speed of the electron when it reaches point B which is a distance of 0.395 m east of point A. It can be calculated using third equation of motion as :

$v^2=u^2+2as$ ........(1)
