An electron enters the gap between the plates of a capacitor at the center of the gap traveling parallel to theplates at 2.0 x 1
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

How far will the electron travel beforehitting a plate is 248.125mm

Explanation:

Applying Gauss' law:

Electric Field E = Charge density/epsilon nought

Where charge density=1.0 x 10^-6C/m2 & epsilon nought= 8.85× 10^-12

Therefore E = 1.0 x 10^-6/8.85× 10^-12

E= 1.13×10^5N/C

Force on electron F=qE

Where q=charge of electron=1.6×10^-19C

Therefore F=1.6×10^-19×1.13×10^5

F=1.808×10^-14N

Acceleration on electron a = Force/Mass

Where Mass of electron = 9.10938356 × 10^-31

Therefore a= 1.808×10^-14 /9.11 × 10-31

a= 1.985×10^16m/s^2

Time spent between plate = Distance/Speed

From the question: Distance=1cm=0.01m and speed = 2×10^6m/s^2

Therefore Time = 0.01/2×10^6

Time =5×10^-9s

How far the electron would travel S =ut+ at^2/2 where u=0

S= 1.985×10^16×(5×10^-9)^2/2

S=24.8125×10^-2m

S=248.125mm

a fast charged particle passes perpendicularly through a thin glass sheet of index of refraction 1.5. The particle emits light i
NeX [460]

The minimum speed of the particle is the Speed of light in glass is c/μ=2×108m/s.

<h3>Why is the refractive index important?</h3>

The higher the refractive index the slower the light travels, which causes a correspondingly increased change in the direction of the light within the material. What this means for lenses is that a higher refractive index material can bend the light more and allow the profile of the lens to be lower.

Refractive index values are usually determined at standard temperature. A higher temperature means the liquid becomes less dense and less viscous, causing light to travel faster in the medium.

I dont know how to do this at all please help

Wow !  I understand your shock.  I shook and vibrated a little
when I looked at this one too.

The reason for our shock is all the extra junk in the question,
put there just to shock and distract us.

"Neutron star", "5.5 solar masses", "condensed burned-out star".
That's all very picturesque, and it excites cosmic fantasies in
out brains when we read it, but it's just malicious decoration.
It only gets in the way, and doesn't help a bit.

The real question is:

What is the acceleration of gravity 2000 m from
the center of a mass of 1.1 x 10³¹ kg ?

Acceleration of gravity is

                           G  ·  M / R²

      =  (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N·m²/kg²) · (1.1 x 10³¹ kg) / (2000 m)²

      =  (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹  ·  1.1 x 10³¹ / 4 x 10⁶)      (N) · m² · kg / kg² · m²

      =             1.83 x 10¹⁴           (kg · m / s²) · m² · kg / kg² · m²

      =             1.83 x 10¹⁴            m / s²      

That's about  1.87 x 10¹³  times the acceleration of gravity on
Earth's surface.

In other words, if I  were standing on the surface of that neutron star,
I would weigh  1.82 x 10¹² tons, give or take.

Which of the following states that all matter tends to "warp" space in its vicinity and that objects react to this warping by ch
astraxan [27]
Einstein's theory of General Relativity states that space-time is able to be warped in the presence of mass or energy.  This warping is what "tells" matter how to move in its presence.  In the paraphrased words of physicist John Wheeler, matter tells space-time how to warp, and warped space-time tells matter how to move.
