The electron gun in a television tube accelerates electrons (mass = 9.11x10^-31 kg, charge = 1.6 x 10^-19C) from rest to 3 x10^7

stich3 [128]

Answer:

Electric field acting on the electron is 127500 N/C.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of an electron, $m=9.11\times 10^{-31}\ kg$

Charge on electron, $q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

Initial speed of electron, u = 0

Final speed of electron, $v=3\times 10^7\ m/s$

Distance covered, s = 2 cm = 0.02 m

We need to find the electric field required. Firstly, we will find the acceleration of the electron from third equation of motion as :

$a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}$

$a=\dfrac{(3\times 10^7)^2-0}{2\times 0.02}$

$a=2.25\times 10^{16}\ m/s^2$

According to Newton's law, force acting on the electron is given by :

F = ma

$F=9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 2.25\times 10^{16}$

$F=2.04\times 10^{-14}\ N$

Electric force is given by :

F = q E, E = electric field

$E=\dfrac{F}{q}$

$E=\dfrac{2.04\times 10^{-14}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}$

E = 127500 N/C

So, the electric field is 127500 N/C. Hence, this is the required solution.

Question 1 (1 point)

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Solid objects will deform when adequate loads are applied to them; if the material is elastic, the object will return to its initial shape and size after removal. This is in contrast to plasticity, in which the object fails to do so and instead remains in its deformed state.

A very light ping-pong ball moving east at a speed of 4 m/s collides with a very heavy stationary bowling ball. The Ping-Pong ba

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

They experience the same magnitude impulse

Explanation:

We have a ping-pong ball colliding with a stationary bowling ball. According to the law of conservation of momentum, we have that the total momentum before and after the collision must be conserved:

where is the initial momentum of the ping-poll ball

is the initial momentum of the bowling ball (which is zero, since the ball is stationary)

is the final momentum of the ping-poll ball

is the final momentum of the bowling ball

We can re-arrange the equation as follows or

which means (1) so the magnitude of the change in momentum of the ping-pong ball is equal to the magnitude of the change in momentum of the bowling ball.

However, we also know that the magnitude of the impulse on an object is equal to the change of momentum of the object:

(2) therefore, (1)+(2) tells us that the ping-pong ball and the bowling ball experiences the same magnitude impulse:

What is the function of eye lens of human eye

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

the lens is located in the eye. by changing its shape, the lens changes the focal distance of the eye. in other words,it focuses the light rays that pass through it (and onto the retina) in order to create clear images of objects that are positioned

at various distances.
