An electron having an initial horizontal velocity of magnitude1.00×109cm/stravels into the region between two horizontal metal plates that are electrically charged. In that region, the electron travels a horizontal distance of2.00 cm and has a constant downward acceleration of magnitude1.00×1017cm/s2due to the charged plates. Find (a)the time the electron takes to travel the 2.00 cm, (b) the vertical distance it travels during that time, and the magnitudes of its (c) horizontal and (d) vertical velocity components as it emerges from the region.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) Time taken by electron to travel 2.00 cm distance is2.00×10-9s

b) Vertical displacement is0.20cm downward.

c) Magnitude of its horizontal velocity components is1.00×109cm/s

d) Magnitude of vertical velocity components as it emerges from the region is2.00×108cm/s

Step by step solution

01

Given information

It is given that, the horizontal component of velocity is 1.0×1017cm/s2. And vertical component of velocity is zero. Horizontal distance is 2.00 cm.

02

Determining the concept

The problem deals with the standard kinematic equations that describe the motion of an object with constant acceleration.By using simple kinematic equations and given data in the problem, time taken by electron can be calculated. Further, the vertical displacement of electron can be calculated by using second kinematic equation.

Formula:

The velocity and displacement in the kinematic equation are given as,

vf=v0+ats=v0t+12at2 (i)

(ii)

Where, s is total displacements,v0is an initial velocity, t is time and a is an acceleration.

03

(a) determining the time to travel  horizontal distance

Using the standard relation between velocity and time,

time=distancevelocityt=2.001.00×109=2.00×10-9s

Therefore, time taken by an electron to travel 2.00 cm distance is2.00×10-9s

04

(b) Determining thevertical displacement

According to the equation (ii), the vertical displacement can be written as

y=v0t-12at2y=0-121.00×10172.00×10-9y=-0.20cmy=0.20cm

Therefore, vertical displacement is 0.20 cm downward.

05

(c) Determining thehorizontal component of velocity

Here,

vx=v0=1.00×109cm/s

Therefore, the horizontal component of velocity is1.00×109cm/s

06

(d) Determining thevertical component of velocity

For the vertical component of the velocity the equation (i) can be written as,

vy=0+aytvy=1.00×10172.00×10-19vy=2.00×108cm/s

Therefore, the vertical component of velocity is2.00×108cm/s

Two ships, A and B, leave port at the same time. Ship A travels northwest at 24knots, and ship B travels at 28knotsin a direction 40°west of south. ((1knot=1nauticalmileperhour)).What are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction of the velocity of ship A relative to B? (c) After what time will the ships be 160 nautical miles apart? (d) What will be the bearing of B (the direction of B’s position) relative to A at that time?

A trebuchet was a hurling machine built to attack the walls of a castle under siege. A large stone could be hurled against a wall to break apart the wall. The machine was not placed near the wall because then arrows could reach it from the castle wall. Instead, it was positioned so that the stone hit the wall during the second half of its flight. Suppose a stone is launched with a speed ofv0=28.0m/s and at an angle ofu0=40.0°. What is the speed of the stone if it hits the wall (a) just as it reaches the top of its parabolic path and (b) when it has descended to half that height? (c)As a percentage, how much faster is it moving in part (b) than in part (a)?

A magnetic field forces an electron to move in a circle with radial acceleration 3.0×1014m/s2in a particular magnetic field. (a) What is the speed of the electron if the radius of its circular path is15cm? (b)What is the period of the motion?

A helicopter is flying in a straight line over a level field at a constant speed of 6.2m/sand at a constant altitude of9.50m. A package is ejected horizontally from the helicopter with an initial velocity of12.0m/srelative to the helicopter and in a direction opposite the helicopter’s motion. (a) Find the initial speed of the package relative to the ground. (b) What is the horizontal distance between the helicopter and the package at the instant the package strikes the ground? (c) What angle does the velocity vector of the package meet with the ground at the instant before impact, as seen from the ground?

You are to throw a ball with a speed of 12.0m/sat a target that is height
h=5.00mabove the level at which you release the ball (Fig. 4-58). You want the ball’s velocity to be horizontal at the instant it reaches the target. (a) At what angle above the horizontal must you throw the ball? (b) What is the horizontal distance from the release point to the target? (c) What is the speed of the ball just as it reaches the target?
