Beams of high-speed protons can be produced in "guns" using electric fields to accelerate the protons. A certain gun has an elec

tric field of 1.76 x 10 4 N/C. What speed would the proton obtain if the field accelerated the proton through a distance of 1.00 cm?

Answer: v = 2.75 * 10^7 m/s

Explanation: Since the electric field is a uniform one and the distance is small, the motion of the electron is of a constant acceleration, hence newton's laws of motion is applicable.

From the question

E=strength of electric field = 214N/c

q=magnitude of an electronic charge = 1.609* 10^-16c

m= mass of an electronic charge = 9.11*10^-31kg

v = velocity of electron.

S= distance covered = 1cm = 0.01m

a = acceleration of electron.

F = ma but F=Eq

Eq = ma.

a = Eq/m

a = 214 * 1.609*10^-16/ 9.11 * 10^-31

a = 344.32 * 10^-16/ 9.11 * 10 ^-31

a = 3. 779* 10^16 m/s²

Before the electron is accelerated, they are always not moving, hence initial velocity (u) = 0.

By using the equation of motion, we have

v² = u² + 2aS

But u = 0

v² = 2aS

v²= 2* 3.779*10^16 * 0.01

v² = 7.558 * 10^14

v = √7.558 * 10^14

v = 2.75 * 10^7 m/s.

Alex

Answer:

D

Explanation:

According to newton's 2nd law rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the force applied on the body. Since, net Force is zero this means momentum did not change or momentum of the body remained constant.

Hence, the system have constant value of momentum. Therefore, option D is correct.
