6. An electron is moving east in a uniform electric field of 1.6 N/C directed west. At point A, the velocity of the electron is 4.5×105 m/s toward the east. What is the speed of the electron when it reaches point B, 0.375 m east of point A?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]6.4\times 10^5 m/s[/tex]

Explanation:

We are given that

Electric field,E=1.6 N/C

Initial velocity,u=[tex]4.5\times 10^5 m/s[/tex]

We have to find the speed of electron when it reaches point B 0.375 m east of point A.

Charge on electron,q=[tex]1.6\times 10^{-19} C[/tex]

[tex]a=\frac{eE}{m}[/tex]

Where [tex]m=9.1\times 10^{-31} kg[/tex]

Using the formula

[tex]a=\frac{1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.6}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}=2.8\times 10^{11}m/s^2[/tex]

s=0.375 m

[tex]v^2=u^2+2as[/tex]

[tex]v=\sqrt{u^2+2as}[/tex]

[tex]v=\sqrt{(4.5\times 10^5)^2+2(2.8\times 10^{11})(0.375)}[/tex]

[tex]v=6.4\times 10^5 m/s[/tex]
