Chapter 6.1, Problem 6.1E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The kinetic energy of the electron has to be calculated in joules and calories.

Concept introduction:

Kinetic energy:

The relationship between ${\text{E}}_{\text{k}}\text{,}\text{m}\text{and}\text{v}$ of an object is given by kinetic energy equation

$\begin{array}{l}{\text{E}}_{\text{k}}\text{=}\frac{\text{1}}{\text{2}}\text{m}{\text{v}}^{\text{2}}\\ \text{where,}\\ {\text{E}}_{\text{k}}\text{-}\text{Kinetic}\text{enrgy}\text{of}\text{an}\text{object}\\ \text{m}\text{-}\text{mass}\text{of}\text{an}\text{object}\\ \text{v}\text{-}\text{velocity}\text{of}\text{an}\text{object}\end{array}$

To calculate: The kinetic energy of the electron
