Answer:

v = 4.4 x 10⁷ m/s

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of the electrons will be equal to the energy supplied by the electric voltage:

Kinetic Energy = Electric Energy

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = eV

where,

m = mass of electron = 9.1 x 10⁻³¹ kg

v = speed of electron = ?

e = charge on electron = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

V =Voltage = 55 kV = 55000 V

Therefore,

\frac{1}{2}(9.1\ x\ 10^{-31}\ kg)(v)^2 = (1.6\ x\ 10^{-19}\ C)(55000\ V)\\\\v^2 = \frac{(2)(8.8\ x\ 10^{-16}\ J)}{9.1\ x\ 10^{-31}\ kg}\\\\v = \sqrt{19.34\ x\ 10^{14}\ m^2/s^2}

<u>v = 4.4 x 10⁷ m/s</u>

How can electric energy be converted to heat energy?
Goshia [24]
To do that, you must pass electric current through a substance
that electrons have to spend energy to pass through. 
The substance will be one that gets warm and dissipates heat
when electric current flows through it.
We'll say that the substance has "resistance", which we can measure.
The amount of heat that appears when current flows through it
will be (current²)·(resistance).

A few examples of things used for that purpose:

-- resistors
-- burners on electric stoves
-- coils of resistor-wire in a toaster
-- aquarium heater
-- electric clothes iron
-- electric coffee pot
-- blow-dryer
-- electric hair-curling iron
-- skinny tungsten wire in a light-bulb .

A boat has a mass of 7660 kg. Its engines generate a drive force of 4080 N due west, while the wind exerts a force of 680 N due
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

0.29 m/s due west.

Explanation:

According to newton's second law,

Net force acting on an object = mass×acceleration

From the question,

F+F₁+F₂ = ma................ Equation 1

Where F = The force generated from the engine, F₁ = Force exerted by the wind, F₂ = Force exerted due to the water, m = mass of the boat, a = acceleration of the boat.

Given: F = 4080 N , F₁ = -680 N(east), F₂ = -1160 N(east). m = 7660 kg

substitute into equation 1

4080-680-1160 = 7660(a)

2240 = 7660a

Therefore,

a = 2440/7660

a = 0.29 m/s due west.

Why do the passengers in high-altitude jet planes feel the sensation of weight while passengers in an orbiting space vehicle, su
kykrilka [37]

Passengers in an aircraft are subject to the Normal and Gravity Force acting on them at a low 'orbit', so tiny that it can be many times compared to the same surface of the earth when speaking in general terms.

In a high orbit space vehicle or in the same space, said force decreases considerably or simply disappears, generating the sensation of weightlessness.

Remember that the Force of Gravity is given under the principle

F_g = \frac{GMm}{r^2}

Where,

G = Gravitational Universal constant

M = Mass of the planet

m = mass of the object

r = Distance from center of the planet

When the radius grows considerably the gravitational force begins to decrease.

If 2.0 x 10^-4 C charge passes a point in 5.0 x 10^-5 s, what is the rate of current flow?
vampirchik [111]
Current is defined as the rate of charge flowing a point every second. Having a current of 1 Ampere signifies 1 Coulomb is flowing in a circuit every second. It is measured by the use of an ammeter which is positioned in series to the component to be measured. The current in the problem is calculated as follows:

I = 2.0 x 10^-4 C / 5.0 x 10^-5 s
<span>I = 4 A</span>
