In a medical X-ray tube, electrons are accelerated to a velocity of 10^8 m/s and then slammed into a tungsten target. As they stop, the electrons' rapid acceleration produces X rays.
A pair of parallel plates produces a uniform electric field of 900V/m. If an electron is released at rest from the negative plate, how fast is it moving when it hits the positive plate, 8.0 mm away?
A car moving initially at 50mi/h begins decelerating at a constant rate 100ft. short of a stoplight. A. If the car comes to a full stop just at the light, what is the magnitude of its acceleration?
