The electrons that produce the picture in a TV set are accelerated by a very large electric force as they pass through a small region in the neck of the picture tube. This region is 1.5 cm in length, and the electrons enter with a speed of 1 ร— 105 m/s and leave with a speed of 2.5 ร— 106 m/s. What is their acceleration over this 1.5 cm length?

Respuesta :

The acceleration given the initial and final velocity and the distance can be calculated through the equation,
ย 
ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย a = ((Vf)ยฒ - (Vi)ยฒ) / 2d

where d is the distance, Vf is the final velocity, Vi is the initial velocity and a is the acceleration.ย 

Substituting the known values,
ย ย 
ย  ย  ย  ย  a= ((2.5 x 10โถ m/s)ยฒ - (1 x 10โต m/s)ยฒ) / 2 (15/100)
ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  a = 2.08 x 10ยนยณ m/sยฒ

ANSWER:ย ย a = 2.08 x 10ยนยณ m/sยฒ
