The potential energy decreases.

<u />

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given-

Charge of the object, q = -3nC

Initial potential, Vi = -20V

Final potential, Vf = -10V

Potential energy, U = ?

We know,

Potential, V = U/q

initial potential energy = Viq

                                                        = -20V X -3nC

                                                        = 60 nJ

Final potential energy = Vfq

                                     = -10V X -3nC

                                     = 30nJ

We can see that the potential energy decreases as the object moves from initial to final position which means that the work is done against the electric field.

The question states: two large, parallel conducting plates are 12cm
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

1. 24375 N/C

2. 2925 V

Explanation:

d = 12 cm = 0.12 m

F = 3.9 x 10^-15 N

q = 1.6 x 10^-19 C

1. The relation between the electric field and the charge is given by

F = q E

So, E=\frac{F}{q}

E=\frac{3.9 \times 10^{-15}}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}

E = 24375 N/C

2. The potential difference and the electric field is related by the given relation.

V = E x d

where, V be the potential difference, E be the electric field strength and d be the distance between the electrodes.

By substituting the values, we get

V = 24375 x 0.12 = 2925 Volt

Select all that apply. Which of the following astronomers supported the Earth-centered system?
Stella [2.4K]
Among the options, the two astronomers who supported the Earth-centered system were Tycho Brahe and Ptolemy.

Both astronomers developed in fact a system where the Sun was located at the center, while the Earth and the other planets were orbiting around the Sun.

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

  1/8

Explanation:

17,100 years is 3 times the half-life of 5,700 years. After each half-life, half remains, so the amount remaining after 3 half-lives is ...

  (1/2)(1/2)(1/2) = 1/8

1/8 of the sample remains after 17,100 years.

Sort the sentences based on whether they describe radio waves, visible light waves, or both.
valentina_108 [34]

The electromagnetic spectrum includes a continuous spectrum of wavelengths that include:

Radio waves, microwaves, infrared light, visible, ultraviolet, X-rays, gamma rays

The wavelength decreases from radio waves to gamma rays, whereas the energy increases along the same direction.

In the given example, radio waves have a lower energy and higher wavelength than visible light. The latter can be perceived by the human eye, whereas radio waves are not visible to the human eye.

1) They have colors = visible light

2) They can travel in a vacuum  = both

3) They have energy = both

4) They’re used to learn about  dust and gas clouds = radio waves

5) They’re used to find the  temperature of stars  = visible light

6)They’re invisible = radio waves
