An electron is released from rest at the negative plate of a parallel plate capacitor. The charge per unit area on each plate is = 2.5 × 10-7 C/m2, and the plates are separated by a distance of 1.5 × 10-2 m. How fast is the electron moving just before it reaches the positive plate?

Speed = 1.22 x 10^(7) m/s

Explanation:

Electric Field has a formula of;

E = σ/ε_o

Where,

σ is surface

εσ is vacuum permittivity

Also, acceleration is given by;

a = qE/m

Thus, replace E with σ/ε_o;

a = (qσ/ε_o)/m

Where;

q is charge of electron = 1.6 x 10^(-19) C

m is mass of electron = 9.11 x 10^(-31) kg

While ε_o has a value of 8.85 x 10^(-12) N.m²/C²

Thus, plugging in the relevant values to obtain ;

a = [((1.6 x 10^(-19))x 2.5 x 10^(-7)]/(8.85 x 10^(-12) x 9.11 x 10^(-31)) = 4.96 x 10^(15) m/s²

From Newton's 3rd law of motion,

V² = U² + 2as

Thus,plugging in the relevant values,

V² = 0² + 2(4.96 x 10^(15) x 1.5 x 10^(-2))

V² = 14.88 x 10^(13)

V = √14.88 x 10^(13) = 1.22 x 10^(7) m/s

answer: the metamorphic rocks are formed when they are exposed to high pressure and high temperatures. this happens when one of the earth's plates comes in contact with the other plate by traveling in opposite directions, straight into each other or slipping under one another. the friction that is caused by this activity results in   melting of rocks and when it cools they are known as metamorphic rocks. this process needs a controlled amount of pressure and temperature otherwise it may turn into magma.
