The change in electrical potential energy of the electron is given by:
\Delta U = e \Delta V
where
e is the electron charge
\Delta V is the potential difference between the initial and final point of the electron.

The electron moves by a distance d=4.5 m in the electric field of intensity E=325 N/C, so the potential difference between the initial and final location of the electron is
\Delta V= -E d= -(325 N/C)(4.5 m)=-1462.5 V
where the negative sign is due to the fact that the electron is moving in the direction of the electric field, so it is moving from a point at higher potential to a point of lower potential, so the \Delta V must be negative.

Therefore, the change in electrical potential energy of the electron is
\Delta U= e \Delta V=(-1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C)(-1462.5 V)=2.34 \cdot 10^{-16} J

A car slows down at -5.00 m/s² until it comes to a stop after travelling 15.0 m. What was the initial speed of the car?
lapo4ka [179]
<h2>Answer: 12.24m/s</h2>

According to <u>kinematics</u> this situation is described as a uniformly accelerated rectilinear motion. This means the acceleration while the car is in motion is constant.

Now, among the equations related to this type of motion we have the following that relates the velocity with the acceleration and the distance traveled:

V_{f}^{2}-V_{o}^{2}=2.a.d   (1)

Where:

V_{f} is the Final Velocity of the car. We are told "the car comes to a stop after travelling", this means it is 0.

V_{o} is the Initial Velocity, the value we want to find

a is the constant acceleration of the car (the negative sign means the car is decelerating)

d is the distance traveled by the car

Now, let's substitute the known values in equation (1) and find V_{o}:

0-V_{o}^{2}=2(-5m/{s}^{2})(15m)    (2)

-V_{o}^{2}=-150{m}^{2}/{s}^{2}    (3)

Multiplying by -1 on both sides of the equation:

V_{o}^{2}=150{m}^{2}/{s}^{2}    (4)

V_{o}=\sqrt{150{m}^{2}/{s}^{2}}    (5)

Finally:

V_{o}=12.24m/s >>>This is the Initial velocity of the car

Why do most carnivores live in forest? given reason ​
kotegsom [21]

\huge\purple{Hi!}

most carnivore live in forest because

  1. They are highly dependent on flesh for their food and therefore their food is easily available in forests.
  2. Small animals live in forests that make it the ideal habitat for carnivores.
  3. Carnivores help in maintaining the herbivore population at a healthy level, by hunting.
  4. It all helps in keeping ecosystems in balance.

Is magnetic a form of energy
Sergeu [11.5K]
Hey there! :D

Yes, indeed! Magnetic is a form of energy. It pushes or pulls to forces together. A lot of this energy is through waves, and opposite and like poles. 

I hope this helps!
