Compared to the electric field energy density at b, the electric field energy density at a is large by a factor of 16.

<h3>What is potential energy?</h3>

The energy of a particle by virtue of its position.

The potential at B = Vb =V

Vb = 1/4π∈₀ x e/r₁ = ke/r₁

V =ke/r₁

and r₁ = ke /V

The potential at A = Va = 2V

2V = ke/r₂

r₂ = ke/2V

The electric field at point B. Eb = ke/r₁²

Substitute the value of r₁, we get

Eb = V²/ke

The electric field at point A , Ea = ke /r₂²

Substitute the value of r₂, we get

Ea = 4V²/ke


The electric field energy density at point A and B,

Ua  = 1/2 ∈Ea²

Ub = 1/2 ∈Eb²

electric field energy density is proportional to the square of electric field at the particular point.

Ua/Ub =(Ea/Eb)²

Substitute the values, we get

Ua/Ub = 16

Thus, compared to the electric field energy density at b, the electric field energy density at a is large by a factor of 16.

Mr. Stephenson drives his car from Dallas to Town X, a distance of 437 km. The trip takes 7.27 hours. What is the average speed
klasskru [66]

Average speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance).

Distance covered = 437 km = 437,000 meters

Time to cover the distance = (7.27 hrs) x (3600 sec/hr) = 26,172 seconds

Average speed = (437,000 meters) / (26,172 seconds)

Average speed = 16.7 m/s

The nonreflective coating on a camera lens with an index of refraction of 1.21 is designed to minimize the reflection of 570-nm
lord [1]

Answer: 117.8 nm

Explanation:

Given,

Nonreflective coating refractive index : n = 1.21

Index of refraction: n_0 = 1.52

Wave length of light = λ = 570 nm = 570\times10^{-9}\ m

\text{ Thickness}=\dfrac{\lambda}{4n}

=\dfrac{570\times10^{-9}\ m}{4\times1.21}\\\\\approx\dfrac{117.8\times 10^{-9}\ m}{1}\\\\=117.8\text{ nm}

Hence, the minimum thickness of the coating that will accomplish= 117.8 nm

1. State the law of conservation of energy and what it means for you as a human considering how energy works.
Arturiano [62]

Answer: 1. The law of consevation of energy sates that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It can only be transformed or transfered from one form to another. The law of conservation of energy is found everywhere for example, Water falls from the sky, converting potential energy to kinetic energy.

2. Different forms of energy are related because energy cannot be created or destroyed. they can all be transformed into from one form to another.
