Chapter 2, Problem 2.18P

(a)

To determine

With what velocity does the electron strike the positive plate if a cylindrical capacitor is made of two coaxial conductors—the outer one’s diameter is 20.2 mm and the inner one’s diameter is 0.2 mm; the inner conductor is 1000-V positive with respect to the outer conductor?

(a)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Given info:.

V=1000Vd=0.01mm=9.11×1031kgq=1.602×1019C.

Formula used:.

Kinetic energy

KE=12mv2.

Potential energy

PE=qV.

Calculation:.

We have,

12mv2=qVv=2qVm=2×1.602×1019×10009.11×1031=1.9×107m/s.

Conclusion:.

Velocity=1.9×107m/s

(b)

To determine

How long does it take the electron to travel the 1-cm distance? Compare the results to those of Problem 2.17.

Explanation of Solution

Given info:.

V=1000Vd=0.01mm=9.11×1031kgq=1.602×1019Crb=20.22×103m=1.01×102mra=1×104m.

Formula used:.

Force

F = ma = qE

Calculation:.

We have force,

  F=ma=qEa=qEm.

For a cylindrical capacitor,

E=1rVln(rbra).

We have,

v=at=drdt=qmVrln(rbra)trdr=qmVln(rbra)tdtrarbrdr=qmVln(rbra)0ttdt12(rb2ra2)=qmVln(rbra)t22t=(rb2ra2)qmVln(rbra)=((1.01×102)2(1×104)2)1.602×10199.11×10311000ln(1.01×1021×104)=1.65×109s.

This value is higher than the value obtained in Problem 2.17

Conclusion:.

Time taken=1.65×109s

2.62 Collision. The engineer of a passenger train traveling at 25.0 m/s sights a freight train whose caboose is 200 m ahead on the same track (Fig. P2.62). The freight train is traveling at 15.0 m/s in the same direction as the passenger train. The engineer of the passenger train immediately applies the brakes, causing a constant acceleration of 0.100 m/s² in a direction opposite to the train's velocity, while the freight train continues with constant speed. Take x = 0 at the location of the front of the passenger train when the engineer applies the brakes. (a) Will the cows nearby witness a collision? (b) If so, where will it take place? (c) On a single graph, sketch the positions of the front of the pas- senger train and the back of the freight train.

2.70 Egg Drop. You are on the Figure P2.70 roof of the physics building, 46.0 m above the ground (Fig. P2.70). Your physics professor, who is 1.80 m tall, is walking alongside the building at a constant speed of 1.20 m/s. If you wish to drop an egg on your profes- sor's head, where should the profes- sor be when you release the egg? Assume that the egg is in free fall. 2.71 CALC The acceleration of a particle is given by ax(t) = -2.00 m/s² +(3.00 m/s³)t. (a) Find the initial velocity Vox such that v = 1.20 m/s 1.80 m 46.0 m
