A proton is released from rest at the origin in a uniform electric field in the positive x direction with magnitude 850 N/C. The change in the electric potential energy of the proton-field system when the proton travels to x = 2.50m is -3.40 × 10⁻¹⁶ J (Option B)

<h3 /><h3>How is the change in electric potential energy of the proton-field system calculated?</h3>

  • Work done on the proton =Negative of the change in the electric potential energy of the proton field
  • In the given case, W = -qΔV
  • -W = qΔV
  • = qEcosθ
  • Therefore, work done on the proton = -e(8.50×10^2 N/C)(2.5m)(1)
  • = -3.40×10^-^1^6 J
  • Any change in the potential energy indicates the work done by the proton.
  • Therefore the positive sign shows that the potential energy increases when the proton does the work.
  • The negative sign shows that the potential energy decreases when the proton does the work.

Why is velocity squared in kinetic energy and mass multiplied by 1/2?
maxonik [38]
Remember the definition of work done.
Work done is force(F) times displacement(x)
∴ W = F.Δx 
According to Newton's 2nd law of motion,

F = ma
∴ W = ma.Δx ---- (i)
Using the kinematical equation v²-u² = 2ax,
aΔx = (v²-u²)/2 

Plug this value in (i),

∴W = m[\frac{v^{2}-u^{2}  }{2}]
∴W = \frac{mv^{2} }{2} -  \frac{mu^{2} }{2}

Which is nothing but change in kinetic energy.
That is how kinetic energy is derived

An airplane flies eastward and always accelerates at a constant rate. At one position along its path it has a velocity of 34.3 m
Tomtit [17]

Explanation:

We'll need two equations.

v² = v₀² + 2a(x - x₀)

where v is the final velocity, v₀ is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, x is the final position, and x₀ is the initial position.

x = x₀ + ½ (v + v₀)t

where t is time.

Given:

v = 47.5 m/s

v₀ = 34.3 m/s

x - x₀ = 40100 m

Find: a and t

(47.5)² = (34.3)² + 2a(40100)

a = 0.0135 m/s²

40100 = ½ (47.5 + 34.3)t

t = 980 s
