We are given an object that is speeding up on a level ground.

Let's remember that the gravitational energy depends on the change in height, therefore, if the object is not changing its height it means that the gravitational energy remains constant.

The kinetic energy depends on the velocity. If the velocity is increasing this means that the kinetic energy is also increasing.

Now, every change in velocity requires acceleration and acceleration requires a force. The force and the distance that the object moves are equivalent to the work that is transferred to the object and therefore, the change in kinetic energy. This means that the total energy of the system increases as work is transferred to the mass.

We have that the total energy of the system increases in the form of kinetic energy and that the gravitational potential energy remains constant. Therefore, the diagrams should look like pie charts that grow but the area of the segment of the potential energy stays the same. It should look similar to the following.

When different resistors are connected in parallel across an ideal battery, we can be certain that: a) their equivalent resistan

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

b) the potential difference across each is the same.

Explanation:

When resistors are connected in parallel with each other

then the terminals of all the resistors will connected across the terminals of the battery

So we know the potential difference of the battery is same across all the resistors

So we can say that the equivalent resistance of all the resistance is

$\frac{1}{R} = \frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2} + \frac{1}{R_3}$

so its not the mean of all resistors

also we know that the resistance are all different so power across each resistance is different given as

$P = \frac{V^2}{R}$

also current in each resistance is also different and given by

$i = \frac{V}{R}$

so correct answer will be

b) the potential difference across each is the same.

At a distance D from a very long (essentially infinite) uniform line of charge, the electric field strength is 1000 N/C. At what

Alla [95]

Answer:

The correct option is (a).

Explanation:

We know that, the E is inversely proportional to the distance as follows :

$E=\dfrac{k}{d^2}$

We can write it as follows :

$\dfrac{E_1}{E_2}=(\dfrac{d_2}{d_1})^2$

Put all the values,

$\dfrac{1000}{2000}=(\dfrac{d_2}{d})^2\\\\\sqrt{\dfrac{1000}{2000}}=(\dfrac{d_2}{D})\\\\0.7071=\dfrac{d_2}{d}\\\\d_1=0.7071D\\\\d_1=\dfrac{D}{\sqrt2}$

So, the correct option is (a).
