A proton initially travels at a speed of 3000 m/s. After it passes through a region in which there is an electric field, the proton’s speed is 5000 m/s. (a) What is the initial kinetic energy of the proton? (b) What is the final kinetic energy of the proton? (c) What is the change in kinetic energy of the proton?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) Initial kinetic energy of the proton is 7.51x10-21J.

(b) Final kinetic energy of the proton is20.87×10-21J

(c) Change in the kinetic energy of the proton is 13.36×10-21J.

Step by step solution

01

The kinetic energy of an electric particle

The kinetic energy of any particle relies upon the ‘mass’ and ‘velocity’ of the particle.

The formula for the kinetic energy (K.E.) of the particle having mass ‘m’ and velocity ‘v’ is given by,

K.E.=12mv2

02

Identification of given data

  • The initial speed of the proton is u=3000m/s.
  • The final speed of the proton is, v=5000m/s.
03

(a) The initial kinetic energy of the proton

The mass of the proton is given by,

m=1.67×10-27kg

The formula for the initial kinetic energy of the proton is given by,

role="math" localid="1657080291356" E1=12mu2E1=12×1.67×10-27kg3000m/s2×1J1kg.m2/s2E1=7.51×10-21J

Hence, the initial kinetic energy of the proton is 7.51×10-21J.

04

(b) The final kinetic energy of the proton

The formula for the final kinetic energy of the proton is given by,

E2=12mv2E2=12×1.67×10-27kg5000m/s2×1J1kg.m2/s2E2=20.87×10-21J

Hence, the final kinetic energy of the proton is 20.87×10-21J.

05

(c) The change in the kinetic energy of the proton

The formula for the change in the kinetic energy of the proton is given by,

∆E=E2-E1∆E=20.87×10-21J-7.51×10-21J∆E=13.36×10-21J

Hence, the change in the kinetic energy of the proton is 13.36×10-21J.

A proton moves from location A to location B in a region of uniform electric field, as shown in Figure 16.5. (a) If the magnitude of the electric field inside the capacitor in Figure 16.5 is 3500 N/C, and the distance between location A and location B is 3 mm, what is the change in electric potential energy of the system (proton + plates) during this process? (b) What is the change in the kinetic energy of the proton during this process? (c) If the proton is initially at rest, what is its speed when it reaches location B? (d) How do the answers to (a) and (b) change if the proton is replaced by an electron?

As shown in Figure 16.72, three large, thin, uniformly charged plates are arranged so that there are two adjacent regions of uniform electric field. The origin is at the center of the central plate. Location A is <-0.4,0,0>m, and location B is<0.2,0,0>m . The electric fieldE1→ has the value <725,0,0>V/m, and E2→is <-425,0,0>V/m.

(d) What is the minimum kinetic energy the electron must have at location A in order to ensure that it reaches location B?
