Sparks occur when the electric field in air exceeds 3 x 106 N/C. This is because free electrons normally present in air are accelerated to such high speeds that their kinetic energy will overcome the potential energy holding other electrons to atoms. When those electrons rearrange themselves after such a collision, a flash of light is emitted. Let us suppose that the work done on an electron must give it an energy of 3 x 10-19 J to cause this ionization. How far does an electron involved in making in a spark travel through the air before it collides with an atom

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

h = 5.38 10¹⁶ m

Explanation:

Let's start this exercise by assuming that all the potential energy of the electron is converted into kinetic energy, let's use the conservation of energy

starting point. Just before ionization

          Em₀ = U = qE

final point. Right after ionization

           Em_f = K = ½ m v²

Energy is conserved

           Em₀ = Em_f

           q E = ½ m v²

           v² = 2qE / m

Now we can use the relationship between net work and kinetic energy

           W_net = ΔK

net work is the work done by the electron minus the binding energy with the atom, called the work function, Ф = 3 10-19 J

           W - Ф = K_f - K₀

we assume that the electron converts all its initial initial kinetic energy to be zero

           W -Ф = ½ m v² - 0

            W = ½ m v² +Ф

we substitute

           W = 1/2 m 2qE/m + E

           W =  qE +Ф

           W = 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ 3 10⁶ + 3 10⁻¹⁹

            W = 4.8 10⁻¹³ + 3 10⁻¹⁹

           W = 4.8 10⁻¹³ J

When the electron is in air, its kinetic energy can be transformed into gravitational potential energy

           

As the electron is in the air, all work is transformed into scientific energy

           W = K

starting point Em₀ = K = W

end point Em_F = U = m g h

energy conservation Em₀ = Em_f

                       W = m g h

                       h = [tex]\frac{W}{mg}[/tex]

let's calculate

                       h = [tex]\frac{4.8 \ 10^{-13} x}{9.1 \ 10^{-31} \ 9.8 }[/tex]

                       h = 5.38 10¹⁶ m

Answer 2

Electron involved in making in spark travel through the air before it collides with an atom will be at the distance of 5.38 10¹⁶ m.

What is an electric field?

An electric field is an electric property that is connected with any location in space where a charge exists in any form. The electric force per unit charge is another term for an electric field.

Let's begin this exercise by assuming that all of the electron's potential energy is turned into kinetic energy, and then we'll apply the law of conservation of energy.

Energy before ionization;

[tex]\rm Em_0 = U = qE[/tex]

Energy after ionization;

[tex]Em_f = K = \frac{1}{2} mv^2[/tex]

From the law of conservation of energy principle;

[tex]Em_0 = Em_f \\\\ q E =\frac{1}{2} m v^2\\\\ v^2 = \frac{2qE }{m}[/tex]

The relationship between net work and kinetic energy;

[tex]W_{net} = \triangle K[/tex]

The work function is defined as net work, which is the work done by the electron minus the binding energy with the atom.

[tex]W - \phi = K_f - K_0[/tex]

[tex]W = K_f+ \phi[/tex]

[tex]W = \frac{1}{2} m \times \frac{2qE}{m} + E\\ \\W = qE + \phi \\\\ \rm W = 1.6 \times 10^{-19}\times 3 \tims 10^6 3 10⁶ +3 \times 10^{-19} \\\\ W = 4.8 \times 10^{-13}+ 3 \times 10^{-19}\\\\ W = 4.8 \times 10^{-13} J[/tex]

EMF at starting point;

[tex]\rm Em_0 = K = W[/tex]

EMF at the endpoint;

[tex]\rm Em_F = U = m g h[/tex]

From the law of conservation of energy principle;

[tex]Em_0 = Em_f \\\\ W = m g \\\\ h = \frac{W}{mg}\\\\\ h = \frac{4.8 \timjes 10^{-13}}{9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times 9.81 }\\\\ \rm h= 5.38 \times 10^{16}[/tex]

Hence electron involved in making in spark travel through the air before it collides with an atom will be at a distance of 5.38 10¹⁶ m.

does altitude has an effect on weight? HELP​

Answers

Answer:  lose weight at high altitudes.

Explanation:

Answer:

Just a week at high altitudes can cause sustained weight loss, suggesting that a mountain retreat could be a viable strategy for slimming down. Overweight, sedentary people who spent a week at an elevation of 8,700 feet lost weight while eating as much as they wanted and doing no exercise

Coherent light with wavelength of 580 nm passes through two very narrow slits, and the interference pattern is observed on a screen a distance of 3.00 m from the slits. The first-order bright fringe is at 4.81 mm from the center of the central bright fringe. For what wavelength of light will the first-order dark fringe be observed at this same point on the screen?

Answers

Answer:

the required wavelength is 1.15815 μm

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

The position of bright fringes [tex]y_m[/tex] on screen in double slit experiment is expressed as follows;

[tex]y_m[/tex] = mλD / d

solving for d, we substitute 1 for m

y₁ = (1)λD / d

d = λD / y₁

given that λ = 580 nm = 5.8 × 10⁻⁷ m,  D = 3.00 m and y₁= y₀ = 4.81 mm = 0.00481 m

so we substitute

d = λD / y₁

d = ( 5.8 × 10⁻⁷ m × 3.00 m ) / 0.00481 m

d = 0.00000174 m² / 0.00481 m

d = 3.6117 × 10⁻⁴ m

Now, position of dark fringe  [tex]y_m[/tex] on screen in double slit experiment is expressed as;

[tex]y_m[/tex] = ( m + 1/2 )λD / d

we substitute 0 for m

y₀ = ( 0 + 1/2 )λD / d

y₀ = λD / 2d

2y₀d = λD

λ =  2y₀d  / D

we substitute

λ =  ( 2(0.00481 m) ( 3.6117 × 10⁻⁴ m) )  / 3.0 m

λ = 1.15815 × 10⁻⁶ m

λ = 1.15815 μm

Therefore, the required wavelength is 1.15815 μm

does altitude has an effect on weight, yes or no​

Answers

Answer: yes

Explanation:

Weight is the gravitational force experienced on a body. If you move up to higher altitudes, the distance between you and earth increases. ... Yes, weight drops as you go up in altitude (because of diminishing gravity), though your mass remains the same. However, the effect is not huge.

Consider a pulley of mass mp and radius R that has a moment of inertia 1/2mpR2. The pulley is free to rotate about a frictionless pivot at its center. A massless string is wound around the pulley and the other end of the rope is attached to a block of mass m that is initially held at rest on frictionless inclined plane that is inclined at an angle β with respect to the horizontal. The downward acceleration of gravity is g. The block is released from rest .

Answers

Answer:

  a = [tex]\frac{m}{m+ \frac{1}{2} m_p} \ g \ sin \beta[/tex]  ,       t = [tex]\sqrt{ \frac{2d}{a} }[/tex]

Explanation:

To solve this exercise we must use Newton's second law

For the block

let's set a reference system with the x axis parallel to the plane

X axis

         Wₓ - T = m a

Y axis  

         N- W_y = 0

         N = W_y

for pulley

          ∑τ = I α

           T R = (½ m_p R²) α

         

let's use trigonometry for the weight components

         sin β = Wₓ / W

         cos β = W_y / W

         Wx = W sin β

angular and linear variables are related

          a = α R

          α = a / R

we substitute and group our equations

         W sin β - T = m a

         T R = ½ m_p R² (a / R)

         

         W sin β - T = m a

                        T = ½ m_p a

we solve the system of equations

         W sin β = (m + ½ m_p) a

          a = [tex]\frac{m}{m+ \frac{1}{2} m_p} \ g \ sin \beta[/tex]

let's find the time to travel the distance (d) through the block

          x = v₀ t + ½ a t²

          d = 0 + ½ a t²

          t = [tex]\sqrt{ \frac{2d}{a} }[/tex]
