The change in potential energy of the proton is  5.6 x 10^{-17} Joule

<h3>What is a Uniform Electric Field ?</h3>

A uniform electric field is where the electric field strength is the same at all points in the field. In the uniform field, the force experienced by a charge is the same no matter where it is placed in the field.

Given that a proton moves a distance 10 cm in a uniform electric field of 3.5 kN C, in the direction of the field.

  • The distance d = 10 cm = 0.1 m
  • Electric field E = 3.5 KN/C
  • Proton charge q = 1.6 x 10^{-19} C

The Work done = Fd

but F = Eq

Recall that Electric field E = F/q = V/d

Where V = potential difference.

Let us first calculate the V

E = V/d

V = Ed

Substitute all the parameters into the formula above

V = 3.5 × 10³ × 0.1

V = 350 v

from F/q = V/d

make F the subject of formula and substitute it in work formula

F = Vq/d

W.D = Vq/d x d

W.D = Vq

Substitute all the parameters into the formula above

W.D = 350 x 1.6 x 10^{-19}

W.D = 5.6 x 10^{-17} J

Work done = Energy = Potential Energy

Therefore, the change in potential energy of the proton is 5.6 x 10^{-17}<em> Joule</em>

(a) What is the escape speed on a spherical asteroid whose radius is 545 km and whose gravitational acceleration at the surface
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

1777.92 m/s

Explanation:

R = Radius of asteroid = 545 km

M = Mass of planet

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 2.9 m/s²

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

Acceleration due to gravity is given by

g=\dfrac{GM}{R^2}\\\Rightarrow M=\dfrac{gR^2}{G}

The expression of escape velocity is given by

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2GM}{R}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2G}{R}\dfrac{gR^2}{G}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2gR}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 2.9\times 545000}\\\Rightarrow v=1777.92\ m/s

The escape speed is 1777.92 m/s

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

During the segments B - C and D - E, the car stopped since the y axis is the distance and the distance stayed the same in between those segments.

For a simpler answer, the flat horizontal lines on the graph are the times when the car was stopped.
