An electron (mass = 9.11×10-31kg) leaves one end of a TV picture tube with zero initial speed and travels in a straight line to the accelerating grid, which is 1.80 cm away. It reaches the grid with a speed of . If the accelerating force is constant, compute

(a) the acceleration;

(b) the time to reach the grid; and

(c) the net force, in newtons. Ignore the gravitational force on the electron.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a)The acceleration of the electron reaching a speed of3×106m/sby travelling 1.80 cmis2.5×1014m/s2

(b) The time taken by the electron to reach this speed is 1.2×10-8s

(c) The force on the electron to produce this acceleration is 22.78×10-17N.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

The mass of the electron is

m=9.11×10-31

The initial velocity of the electron is

u = 0 m/s

The final velocity of the electron is

v=3×106m/s

The distance traveled by the electron is

S=1.8cm=1.8.1cm×1m100cm=0.018m

02

Equations of motion and second law of motion

The initial velocity u , final velocity v , acceleration a and the distance traveled S are related as

v2=u2+2aS.....(1)

The initial velocity u, final velocity v , acceleration a and the time of travel t are related as

v=u+at.....(2)

According to the second law of motion, the force on an object of mass m and acceleration a is

F = ma ........(3)

03

Acceleration of the electron

Let the acceleration of the electron be a. From equation (1),

a=v2-u22S=3×106m/s2-022×0.018m=2.5×1014m/s2

Thus, the accelaration is2.5×1014m/s2

04

Time of motion of the electron

Let the time of motion of the electron be t . From equation (2),

t=v-ua=3×106m/s-02.5×1014m/s2=1.2×10-8s

Thus, the time of motion of the electron is 1.2×10-8s.

05

Force the electron

From equation (3), the force on the electron is

F=ma=9.11×10-31kg×2.5×1014m/s2=22.78×10-17N

Thus, the force on the electron is 22.78×10-17N.
