Two electrodes, separated by a distance d, in a vacuum are maintained at a constant potential difference. An electron, accelerat

ed from one electrode to the other, gains kinetic energy Ek. The distance between the electrodes is now changed to d. What is the gain in kinetic energy of an electron that is accelerated from one electrode to the other?

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that, the distance between the electrode is d.

The electron kinetic energy is Ek when the electrode are at distance "d" apart.

So, we want to find the K.E when that are at d/3 distance apart.

K.E = ½mv²

Note: the mass doesn't change, it is only the velocity that change.

Also,

K.E = Work done by the electron

K.E = F × d

K.E = W = ma × d

Let assume that if is constant acceleration

Then, m and a is constant,

Then,

K.E is directly proportional to d

So, as d increase K.E increase and as d decreases K.E decreases.

So,

K.E_1 / d_1 = K.E_2 / d_2

K.E_1 = E_k

d_1 = d

d_2 = d/3

K.E_2 = K.E_1 / d_1 × d_2

K.E_2 = E_k × ⅓d / d

Then,

K.E_2 = ⅓E_k

So, the new kinetic energy is one third of the E_k

A ball bearing of radius of 1.5 mm made of iron of density

Serjik [45]

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf Viscosity \ of \ glycerine \ (\eta) = 14.382 \ poise}$

Given:

Radius of ball bearing (r) = 1.5 mm = 0.15 cm

Density of iron (ρ) = 7.85 g/cm³

Density of glycerine (σ) = 1.25 g/cm³

Terminal velocity (v) = 2.25 cm/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 980.6 cm/s²

To Find:

Viscosity of glycerine ( $\sf \eta$ )

Explanation:

$\boxed{ \bold{v = \frac{2}{9} \frac{( {r}^{2} ( \rho - \sigma)g)}{ \eta} }}$

$\sf \implies \eta = \frac{2}{9} \frac{( {r}^{2}( \rho - \sigma)g )}{v}$

Substituting values of r, ρ, σ, v & g in the equation:

$\sf \implies \eta = \frac{2}{9} \frac{( {(0.15)}^{2} \times (7.85 - 1.25) \times 980.6)}{2.25}$

$\sf \implies \eta = \frac{2}{9} \frac{(0.0225 \times 6.6 \times 980.6)}{2.25}$

$\sf \implies \eta = \frac{2}{9} \times \frac{145.6191}{2.25}$

$\sf \implies \eta = \frac{2}{9} \times 64.7196$

$\sf \implies \eta = 2 \times 7.191$

$\sf \implies \eta = 14.382 \: poise$

In an attempt to impress its friends, an acrobatic beetle runs and jumps off the bottom step of a flight of stairs. The step is

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

0.3677181864 m

Explanation:

u = Velocity = 1.5 m/s

$\theta$ = Angle = 20°

y = -20 cm

Velocity components

$u_x=ucos\theta\\\Rightarrow u_x=1.5cos20\\\Rightarrow u_x=1.40953\ m/s$

$u_y=usin\theta\\\Rightarrow u_y=1.5sin20\\\Rightarrow u_y=0.51303\ m/s$

Acceleration components

$a_x=0$

$a_y=-9.81\ m/s^2$

$y=u_yt+\dfrac{1}{2}a_yt^2\\\Rightarrow -0.2=0.51303\times t+\dfrac{1}{2}\times -9.81t^2\\\Rightarrow 4.905t^2-0.51303t-0.2=0$

$t=\frac{-\left(-0.51303\right)+\sqrt{\left(-0.51303\right)^2-4\cdot \:4.905\left(-0.2\right)}}{2\cdot \:4.905}, \frac{-\left(-0.51303\right)-\sqrt{\left(-0.51303\right)^2-4\cdot \:4.905\left(-0.2\right)}}{2\cdot \:4.905}\\\Rightarrow t=0.26088, -0.15629$

Time taken is 0.26088 seconds

$x=u_xt+\dfrac{1}{2}a_xt^2\\\Rightarrow x=1.40953\times 0.26088\\\Rightarrow x=0.3677181864\ m$

The distance the beetle travels on the ground is 0.3677181864 m

An amusement park ride raises people high into the air, suspends them for a moment, and then drops them at a rate of free-fall a

blsea [12.9K]

Answer: apparent weighlessness.

Explanation:

1) Balance of forces on a person falling:

i) To answer this question we will deal with the assumption of non-drag force (abscence of air).

ii) When a person is dropped, and there is not air resistance, the only force acting on the person's body is the Earth's gravitational attraction (downward), which is the responsible for the gravitational acceleration (around 9.8 m/s²).

iii) Under that sceneraio, there is not normal force acting on the person (the normal force is the force that the floor or a chair exerts on a body to balance the gravitational force when the body is on it).

2) This is, the person does not feel a pressure upward, which is he/she does not feel the weight: freefalling is a situation of apparent weigthlessness.

3) True weightlessness is when the object is in a place where there exists not grativational acceleration: for example a point between two planes where the grativational forces are equal in magnitude but opposing in direction and so they cancel each other.

Therefore, you conclude that, assuming no air resistance, a person in this ride experiencing apparent weightlessness.

If a current of 2.4 a is flowing in a cylindrical wire of diameter 2.0 mm, what is the average current density in this wire?

Gnom [1K]

The average current density in the wire is given by:

$J=\frac{I}{A}$

where I is the current intensity and A is the cross-sectional area of the wire.

The cross-sectional area of the wire is given by:

$A=\pi r^2$

where r is the radius of the wire. In this problem, $r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{2.0 mm}{2}=1.0 mm=0.001 m$ , so the cross-sectional area is

$A=\pi (0.001 m)^2=3.14 \cdot 10^{-6} m^2$

and the average current density is

$J=\frac{I}{A}=\frac{2.4 A}{3.14 \cdot 10^{-6} m^2}=7.64 \cdot 10^5 A/m^2$
