Chapter 6: Q27P (page 277)

An electron traveling through a curving wire in an electric circuit experiences a constant force of 5脳10-19N, always in the direction of its motion through the wire. How much work is done on the electron by this force as it travels through 0.5 m of the wire?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The work done on the electron is2.5脳10-19J

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given Data

The given data is listed below as,

  • The force experience by the electron is,F=5脳10-19N
  • Distance moved by the electron is, x=0.5m
02

Definition of the work done

The work done as a result of the force is given by the following expression,

W=F.鈬赌x鈬赌=F.xcos胃....(1)

Here, F is the external force and x is displacement and 胃is the angle between force and distance moved.

03

Step 2: Determination of the work done on the electron

The angle between force and distance moved is .

Substitute all the values in equation (1).

W=5脳10-19N0.5mcos180掳=-5脳10-19N0.5m=-2.5脳10-19N.m脳1N.m1J=-2.5脳10-19J

The work is negative this indicates that the force is applied in the opposite direction of the displacement.

Thus, the work done on the electron is 2.5脳10-19J.

Question: The radius of the Moon is 1750 km, and its mass is 7脳1022kg. What would be the escape speed from an isolated Moon? Why was a small rocket adequate to lift the lunar astronauts back up from the surface of the Moon?

Refer to figure 6.86. Calculate the change in electric energy along the two different paths in moving charge away from charge Qfrom A to B along a radial path, then to C along a circle centered on , then to D along a radial path. Also calculate the change in energy in going directly from A to D along a circle centered at Q. Specifically. What are UB-UA,UC-UB,UD-UCand their sum? What is UD-UA? Also, calculate the round-trip difference in the electrical energy when moving charge along the path from A to B to C to D to A

Show the validity of the relation E2particle-(pc)2=(mc2)2when m鈮�0, by making these substitutions:

Eparticle=mc21-v2/c2andp=mv1-v2/c2

Use energy conservation to find the approximate final speed of a basketball dropped from a height of 2m (roughly the height of a professional basketball player). Why don't you need to know the mass of the basketball?

A particle moves inside a circular glass tube under the influence of a tangential force of constant magnitude F (Figure 6.78). Explain why we cannot associate a potential energy with this force. How is this situation different from the case of a block on the end of a string, which is swung in a circle?
