An electron is accelerated inside a parallel plate capacitor. The electron leaves the negative plate with a negligible initial velocity and then after the acceleration it hits the positive plate with a final velocity β. The distance between the plates is 16.5 cm, and the voltage difference is 149 kV. Determine the final velocity β of the electron using classical mechanics. (The rest mass of the electron is 9.11×10-31 kg, the rest energy of the electron is 511 keV.)

What is the final velocity β of the electron if you use relativistic mechanics?

This is for thermodynamics:

"The latent heat of vaporization for water at 1 atm and 100 degrees C is 2.26x103 kJ/kg. Calculate the latent heat for water at 2 atm and 100 C by combining the heat per kg required to turn liquid water into steam at 1 atm with the heat per kg required to change the pressure of that steam from 1 atm to 2 atm at a temperature of 100 C. Treat the steam as an ideal gas, and take the molar mass of water to be M = 18.015x10-3 kg/mol."

A force platform is a tool used to analyze the performance of athletes measuring the vertical force that the athlete exerts on the ground as a function of time. Starting from rest, a 63.0 kg athlete jumps down onto the platform from a height of 0.690 m. While she is in contact with the platform during the time interval 0 < t < 0.8 s, the force she exerts on it is described by the function below. F = (9 200 N/s)t - (11 500 N/s2)t2

Assume the positive y-axis points upward.
(a) What was the athlete's velocity when she reached the platform?

b) What impulse did the athlete receive from the platform?

(c) What impulse did the athlete receive from gravity while in contact with the platform?

(d) With what velocity did she leave the platform?

(e) To what height did she jump upon leaving the platform?

1. You brew a mug of coffee, but it is too hot to drink! You measure the temperature of the mug of coffee and find it is 180°F. You could cool it with an ice cube, but that would dilute it. Instead, you take a cold chunk of aluminum that you just happen to have in the freezer, place it in the mug of coffee, and wait until the temperature stops changing.

(a) When you drop this 300 gram chunk of aluminum into the mug of coffee (essentially water, with a mass of 400 grams), the final temperature of the coffee is a pleasing, drinkable 150°F. What was the initial temperature of the chunk of aluminum when you took it out of the freezer? You may ignore any energy transfer to or from the mug, or the surroundings.

(b) If you used 300 grams of copper (at the same initial temperature you just calculated) instead of aluminum, then repeated the experiment as outlined above, which would be true? Explain.

A. The final temperature of the coffee would be greater than 150°F.

B. The final temperature of the coffee would be less than 150°F.

C. The final temperature would be equal to 150°F.

(c) Refer back to the initial experiment in part (a). Assume the mug and coffee start at the same initial temperature of 180 °F. If the energy transfer to or from the mug were considered, which of the following would be true? (Still ignore energy transfer to or from the surroundings.) Explain.

A. The calculated final temperature would be greater than 150°F.

B. The calculated final temperature would be less than 150°F.

C. The calculated final temperature would be equal to 150°F.
