5 0

Answer:

0 N

Explanation:

This is a trick question, the mass of the wrench would be 0 due to it being in space and has no gravitational pull to weight it down. And since acceleration is defined as the rate and change of velocity with no respect of time and the wrench is moving at a constant velocity, that means the velocity is 0. and since F = m*a it would be F = 0 * 0 = 0 N

An electron is released from rest at the negative plate of a parallel plate capacitor. The charge per unit area on each plate is
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

v = 1.15*10^{7} m/s

Explanation:

given data:

charge/ unit area= \sigma = 1.99*10^{-7} C/m^2

plate seperation = 1.69*10^{-2} m

we know that

electric field btwn the plates isE = \frac{\sigma}{\epsilon}

force acting on charge is F = q E

Work done by charge q id\Delta X =\frac{ q\sigma \Delta x}{\epsilon}

this work done is converted into kinectic enerrgy

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 =\frac{ q\sigma \Delta x}{\epsilon}

solving for v

v = \sqrt{\frac{2q\Delta x}{\epsilon m}

\epsilon = 8.85*10^{-12} Nm2/C2

v = \sqrt{\frac{2 1.6*10^{-19}1.99*10^{-7}*1.69*10^{-2}}{8.85*10^{-12} *9.1*10^{-31}}

v = 1.15*10^{7} m/s
