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.

What is the frequency of this wave?

Anastasy [175]

In telecommunication systems, Carrier frequency is a technical term used to indicate: ... The frequency of the unmodulated electromagnetic wave at the output of a conventional amplitude-modulated (AM-unsupressed carrier), or frequency-modulated (FM), or phase-modulated (PM) radio transmitter.

If the object is moving in a straight line at a constant speed, then that's
the definition of zero acceleration. It can only happen when the sum of
all forces (the 'net' force) on the object is zero.

And it doesn't matter what the object's mass is. That argument is true
for specks of dust, battleships, rocks, stars, rock-stars, planets, and
everything in between.

Compute the torque about the origin of the gravitational force F--mgj acting on a particle of mass m located at 7-xî+ yj and sho

Andrews [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

Force, F = - mg j

r = - 7x i + y j

Torque is defined as the product f force and the perpendicular distance.

It is also defined as the cross product of force vector and the displacement vector.

$\overrightarrow{\tau }=\overrightarrow{r}\times \overrightarrow{F}$

$\overrightarrow{\tau }=(- 7 x i + yj)\times (-mgj)$

[tex]\overrightarrow{\tau }= 7 m g x k

Here, we observe that the torque is independent of y coordinate.
