With N=130 and R=0.15 What is the velocity of the electrons at 100 V, assuming the known charge and mass of the electron from the accepted universal constants that are the basis of SI units? Hints: Do a classical calculation of the kinetic of the electon assuming you know its mass (in kg) and its charge (in coulomb). That will be 1/2 mv2. Equate that to the energy of the electron gained by accelerating in the electric field, that is, eV where "e" is the charge and "V" is the difference potential in volts. Solve for "v", the velocity. Enter your answer in km/s, 103 m/s, without units. It is best to enter only a number, without an "e". For example, if you found 2000 m/s you would enter "2" for the velocity in km/s. Electrons have low mass and achieve high velocity in modest fields.arrow_forward
- Although all energy is kinetic and potential* it is convenient to break it up into coherent macroscopic kinetic energy (KE), macroscopic potential energy (PE), thermal energy (ThE = kinetic and potential energy of molecules due to random motion), chemical energy (ChE = kinetic and potential energy of electrons in atoms in molecule). Consider a small rocket placed on a pad containing an electrical igniter. The rocket is attached to a small packet of chemical explosive in its tail. The igniter lights a short fuse that ignites the chemical explosive shooting the rocket upward. It rises straight up about 50 feet, then falls to the ground where it bounces and comes to a stop.Consider three times: t0 = just after the explosion has completed but the rocket has not risen much t1 = the rocket is just at the top t2 = the rocket has fallen to the ground and come to a stop Identify what has happened to the various energies of the rocket (not including the explosive packet or fuse) from the…arrow_forwardNow let's try it with the momentum.
