A moving electron has a kinetic energy k1. After a net amount of work is done on it, the electron is moving one-quarter as fast in the opposite direction. What is the work done w in terms of k1?.

Sagot :

The work done w in terms of K₁ is (9/16)K₁..Work done is equal to change in kinetic energy of the body.

Since, it is given a electron is moving with Kinetic energy. We know that kinetic energy of any moving body is given by=(1/2)mv²

where m is defined as the mass of the body

and v is defined as the velocity of the body.

Initially K₁.=(1/2)[tex]m_e[/tex]v²

=>v²=2 K₁ / [tex]m_e[/tex]

=>v=√(2 K₁ / [tex]m_e[/tex])--------(eq1)

Now,velocity of body becomes one plus one-fourth of the above velocity,so new velocity is =[√(2 K₁ / [tex]m_e[/tex]) + [(1/4)×√(2 K₁ / [tex]m_e[/tex])]=(5/4)×√(2 K₁ / [tex]m_e[/tex].

Therefore, we know that work done is equal to change in kinetic energy of the body

=>W=(1/2)×[tex]m_e[/tex]×(v₂²-v₁²)

=>W=(1/2)×[tex]m_e[/tex] × ([(5/4)²×√(2 K₁ / [tex]m_e[/tex].)²- (√(2 K₁ / [tex]m_e[/tex]))²]

=>W=(1/2)×[tex]m_e[/tex] ×[(25/16)-1]×(2 K₁ / [tex]m_e[/tex].)

=>W=((25-16)/16)×K₁

=>W=(9/16)×K₁

Hence, work done in terms of K₁  is (9/16)K₁.
