Calculate the speed of a proton that has moved in a uniform electric field of 180.0 N/C from rest over a distance of 12.5-cm. Assume it began at rest.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Given:

Electric field = 180 N/C

[tex]Force\ on\ proton = 1.6\times10^{-19} C[/tex]

[tex]Force\ on\ proton = 180\times1.6\times10^{-19} =288\times10^{-19} N[/tex]

[tex]Mass\ of\ proton = 1.673\times10^{-27} kg[/tex]

[tex]Acceleration of proton = \frac{force}{mass}[/tex]

[tex]Acceleration\ of\ proton = \frac{288\times10^{-19}}{1.673*10^{-27}} =172\times108 m/s^{2}[/tex]

Let the speed of proton be "x"

x = [tex]\sqrt{Acceleration}[/tex]

[tex]x = \sqrt{(2\times172\times108\times0.125)}=65602.2 m/s[/tex]

Answer:

the velocity of the proton is 65574.38 m/s

Explanation:

given,

uniform electric field = 180 N/C

Distance = 12.5 cm = 0.125 m

charge of proton = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

force = E × q

         =180 ×  1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹

        F= 2.88 × 10⁻¹⁷ N

mass of proton = 1.673 × 10⁻²⁷ kg

acceleration =[tex]\dfrac{force}{mass}[/tex]

                     =[tex]\dfrac{2.88 \times 10^{-17}}{1.673\times 10^{-27}}[/tex]

                     =1.72 × 10¹⁰ m/s²

velocity = [tex]\sqrt{2\times 0.125 \times 1.72 \times 10^{10}}[/tex]

             =65574.38 m/s

hence , the velocity of the proton is 65574.38 m/s
