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>

An open train car moves with speed 18.5 m/s on a flat frictionless railroad track, with no engine pulling the car. It begins to
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

The speed decreases.

Explanation:

This can be explained using the conservation of linear momentum.

Since there is no friction, the initial moment of the train must be equal to its linear moment after it is filled with water.

the initial linear momentum is

m_{1}v_{1}

where m_{1} is the initial mass of the train, and v_{1} the initial speed of the train.

And linear momentum after the water filled the train car is

m_{2}v_{2}

where m_{2} is mass of the train after the  rain, and v_{2} the speed of the train after the rain

<u>the equality must be fulfilled:</u>

m_{1}v_{1}=m_{2}v_{2}

We know that if water is added to the train, m_{2} that is the mass after the water is added, is greater than m_{1} which is the mass of the train without the water.

Therefore, in order for the conservation of the linear momentum to be fulfilled: m_{1}v_{1}=m_{2}v_{2}

the speed after the water is added (v_{2} ) must be smaller than the initial train speed (v_{1} ) . So the speed of the car decreases.
