Answer:

Electric Potential Energy:

The energy that is needed to move a charge against an electric firld is called Electric Potential Energy

Electric Potential Difference:

The amount of work done in carrying a unit charge from one point to an other in an electric field is called Electric Potential Difference.

Relation:

Relation between Electric potential and electrical potential energy is given by

$\delta V=\frac{PE}{q}$

Here PE represents Electric potential energy

and $\delta V$ is Electric potential difference

it means electric potential difference is the difference in electric potential energy divided by the charge.

A pontoon boat travels across a lake in a straight line and increases in speed uniformly from vi = 18.5 m/s to vf = 36.0 m/s in

omeli [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) The motion is one dimensional , so motion is along x - axis , starting from origin ( 0 , 0 )

b ) Initial velocity is 18.5 m /s when boat is situated at origin . When he displaces by 250 m along x axis and his position is ( 250 , 0 ) along x axis , his velocity becomes 36 m /s . Both his velocity and acceleration is along x - axis.

c ) Initial velocity vi = 18.5 m /s

final velocity vf = 36 m/s

Displacement x = 250 m

Acceleration a = ?

Most appropriate formula is given below .

vf² = vi² + 2 a x

2ax = vf² - vi²

x = ( vf² - vi² ) / 2 a

d )

Putting the given values

36² - 18.5² / 2 x 250

= 1296 - 342.25 / 500

= 1.9 m /s².

f ) Time interval t = ?

Required formula

vf = vi + at

t = (vf - vi ) / a

Putting the values

t = (30 - 18.5) / 1.9

= 6.05 second .

An elevator ascends at a constant speed of 4 m/s, how much time is required for the elevator in order to travel 120 m upwards?

vlabodo [156]

We simply use the formula,

$velocity =\frac{distance}{time}$

Given, velocity = 4 m per s and distance = 120 m.

Substituting these values, we get

$4\ m/s =\frac{120\ m}{time}\\\\\ time=\frac{120\ m}{4\ m/s} = 30\ s$ .

Thus, required time for the elevator in order to travel 120 m upwards is 30 s.

An atom of a certain element has 36 protons, 36 electrons, and a mass number of 84. At room temperature, this element is a very

Grace [21]

Answer:

12 neutrons

Explanation:

The number of protons also shows the atomic number. Therefore the element in question is Krypton (Kr), which also is a noble gas.

Neutrons = Mass number - protons - electrons

Here neutrons = 84 - 36 - 36 = 12

Your new motorcycle weighs 2450 N.

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

Mass can never be negative. Everything has mass. Just like how they ask you to find area under the graph in maths. If the area is in the 3rd and 4th quadrant, when calculated, you would get negative answer.However, area can not be negative because it is a place/ location. It's exactly the same as mass.
