Answer:
6 x 10⁻¹⁵ J
Explanation:
d = distance between the plates = 1.5 cm = 0.015 m
E = magnitude of electric field between the plates of the capacitor = 2.5 x 10⁶ V/m
q = magnitude of charge on the electron = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C
Force on the electron due to electric field is given as
F = q E
F = (1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹) (2.5 x 10⁶)
F = 4 x 10⁻¹³ N
KE₀ = initial kinetic energy of electron at negative plate = 0 J
KE = final kinetic energy of electron at positive plate = ?
Using work-change in kinetic energy
F d = KE - KE₀
(4 x 10⁻¹³) (0.015) = KE - 0
KE = 6 x 10⁻¹⁵ J
The process of becoming a scientific theory
If enough evidence accumulates to support a hypothesis, it moves to the next step — known as a theory — in the scientific method and becomes accepted as a valid explanation of a phenomenon.
Answer:
B= -40
The negative sign indicates the reverse direction to that of vector A.That is it is in the third quadrant.
Explanation:
Th resultant vector is obtained by adding the two vectors A and B
A + B= AB
25 + B= -15
25+ 15= -B
-B = 40
B= -40
Vector B has a magnitude of 40 and points in the opposite direction to that of vector A. The negative indicates the opposite direction.
When we reverse the vector B for adding we place a negative sign with the magnitude.
A vector is quantity defined by magnitude and direction. If the direction is left out it becomes a scalar.
