electron moving with a velocity of 5*10000 m/s enters into a uniform electric feild and acquires a uniform aceleration of 10000 m/s2 in direction of its initial motion
(1) calculate the time in which the electron would acquire a velocity double of its initial velocity
(2) how much distance electron would cover in this time
(1)
Initial velocity, u = 50000 m/s
Acceleration, a = 10000 m/s2
Using,
v = u + at
=> 2u = u + at
=> t = u/a = 50000/10000
=> t = 5 s
In 5 s the electron velocity doubles the initial velocity.
(2)
Using,
S = ut + ½ at2
=> S = (50000)(5) + ½ (10000)(52)
=> S = 375000 m
This is the distance traveled in that 5 s.
