Electrons with a speed of 1.0 x 107 m/s strike the screen of a television set. With what kinetic energy does a single electron hit the screen? (mass of electron is 9.11 x 10-31 kg)

Respuesta :

The speed of the electron is

[tex]v=\text{ 1}\times10^7\text{ m/s}[/tex]

The mass of the electron is

[tex]m=\text{ 9.11}\times10^{-31}\text{ kg}[/tex]

To find the kinetic energy.

Explanation:

The kinetic energy can be calculated as

[tex]\begin{gathered} K.E.\text{ =}\frac{1}{2}mv^2 \\ =\frac{1}{2}\times9.11\text{ }\times10^{-31}\text{ kg}\times(1\times10^7)^2 \\ =4.555\text{ }\times\text{10}^{-17\text{ }}J \end{gathered}[/tex]
